New member checking in...with a Subaru??

Hey all,

didn't see a specific spot to post this so I am posting here:

My name is Dubs (Jared) and I am a non-threatening Subie owner. I drive a 2003 Blue Ridge Pearl Subaru Impreza 2.5RSTi. Always had respect for these cars, so I wanted to join and say whats up. Here's my car:



Back-in-the-day rims



and proof of boost

This car is originally a 2.5 RS. The way you can tell is by the paint job (Blue Ridge Pearl) that only came on the RSs in the USA.

The car now has an 04 STi motor with an intake, full catless exhaust, and an open source tune. Its stage II with approximately 300 horses to the wheels

I apologize. I was trying to find a place to introduce myself and could not find it.
