Well, I've finally joined the ranks and actually have a Subaru now. I'm no longer that weird non-Subaru owning guy on the Subaru forums. Decided to get red, because why the hell not. Subaru makes a good red. It was less of a wait than the dark grey anyways.
Yes, you read that correctly: Roxanne. She don't have to put on the red lights.
*Don't worry, all you hardcore detailing maniacs out there, I know the Subaru red is made from the blood of small Japanese school children diluted with tears of wild Tanuki, so I didn't use the brush or anything.
First Impressions: this car is awesome. It's stiff, it's tight, it's fast. It makes whoosh noises!! The boost guage and configurable screen is pretty cool. It's going to be a DD, so no plans for any crazy mods or anything, but I'll definitely hit up some AutoX. I did order it with the short throw shifter and STI exhaust from the dealer, neither of which are installed yet, as they are waiting for the parts to arrive.
First Thing I've picked up for it after the aforementioned shifter and exhaust is a new set of boots. 06/07 BBS wheels from an STI.
I plan on getting them powder coated gold. Then I'll switch the Dunlop's over and use the stock wheels for winter.
It's going in to get 3M'd tomorrow, and I plan on picking up a set of Rally Armor's when they're available. Next Summer I might move to an 18 inch wheel, I was originally thinking RPF1's, but the RP03 is catching my eye these days as well.
