New kid on the block

So I'm the new guy here, even though I'm not brand new, since I've been prowling around the past couple weeks, but I thought I'd introduce myself. I've had my scoobie for almost two years, and since I'm very close to finishing paying it off, it will soon be mod time! :RockOn - not mine:

I'm thinking basic stuff, aka. AP, tires/wheels (maybe just tires), cat-back, the normal stuff, as well as some minor suspension mods. But, I kinda want to play in the dirt too, so I'm trying to decide what direction to go in. Let me know of any good ideas.

Thanks!

well hello. What part of San Jose are you usually in? Color of your STi? I'll make sure to give you a wave if I see you.

Welcome to the boards and welcome to the South Bay Chapter.

I'm often near Tully and Capitol Expwy. See a number of non-STIs, and I try to wave, but I'm driving my 240 sometimes, so that might be why I don't get waves back...

As far as dirt goes, that's why I haven't committed to coilovers. I'm just gonna see what people recommend for minor dirt usage.

Yup. I've probably seen most of 'em, blazin down Tully or Capitol by the airport. There's an '08 STi up the street. First one I ever saw, only one I've seen so far.
