Hey all,
Just wanted to post somewhere relevant with high traffic for my first post and landed in this thread. For the last 2 years, I have been lurking on these forums to answer all the questions that came with owning/modding my car, an '05 OBXT Ltd. 5MT in GRP. I am the 3rd owner, just rolled 95,000 miles. It is my daily driver, with primary functions of hauling people/dogs/equipment, driving mountain passes to go snowboarding, and masquerading as a race car. It is also my first Subaru, and it definitely puts the fun in functionality! It's the first car I've seriously worked on beyond oil changes/tire rotations, so it has been a learning experience as well. Lurking on here has shown me that I still have much to learn.

That's all I can think of for now, but that looks about right. Haven't done half as much as I want to, but you know.. money. Thanks to all the members here and the knowledge shared thus far, it has been invaluable to me! Pics attached are over the course of the last 2 years, some mods have not yet been photographed.
