suit yourself, but believe me, it'll be more than a handful on a snowy road.

definitely get some winter, or at least all-season tires for it, with the tires it comes with, you wont have any grip if there is any sort of snow or slush on the road.

not sure whether you care about your warranty or not, but do you have any plans for it yet?

definitely worth getting a pro tune. gained almost 25hp over cobbs OTS tune, power and torque curves are much better and smoother, and they took care of the boost creep i was getting. oh and heres the before and after with the downpipe

got my WRX dyno tuned this weekend only mods are: invidia catless down pipe lightweight crank pulley k&n filter and of course a Cobb AP v3 303hp, 343ft/lbs

not to state the obvious, but make sure you're up to the task physically speaking. not sure of your exact plans for all transportation, but regardless you'll be walking/hiking alot. so hitting up recreational areas or local trails with a full pack to condition yourself would benefit greatly.

i can see that for the sti, but just for a wrx, insurance is pretty cheap.

2 year old wrx and i only pay 80 a month(same that i paid for my POS neon). some companies may differ, but to most, 4 doors doesnt equal a sports car. but i guess that also depends on your driving record. no tickets and no accidents, so that helps my premium a ton.

soooooo team 3 is 1st and team 6 second?

not too sure on an intake, probably just stick with a k&n filter. But the stock 02 sensor doesnt have the range needed, and needs to be post-turbo. cobbs OTS maps are good, but run rich under boost, and with accesstune i can take care of that. and no, the software is free. it is sad that most of us americans dont know how to drive stick, right around 80%(if not more) dont know how. But that really doesnt bother me, because that means 80%+ of car thieves dont know how to drive stick. which makes a manual tranny one of the best car theft protectors.

loving the wrx, Got a cobb AP. Need to get a wideband though, DL'd accesstune race but with the oem 02 sensor pre-turbo and on the headers i cant get accurate readings to tune with. But sometime next year ill be stage 2, CB or TBE, not sure yet, and probably a short ram intake. probably take boost up to ~18-19, dont want to lose my reliability. wouldnt mind slapping in a 6 speed either...

But i think ill be feasting on ham tonight, amongst other finger foods and snacks.

ill keep this short and simple. If you're petting a dog thats on your lap and it shits on you, are you going to sit there and be sad that your pants are ruined, or are you going to go put on new pants?
