Hey all, after lurking around here for the last few months, I finally decided to join the party

Name's Cory, I live in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, which is the hardest place to find Subaru's (that I've seen so far). You know it's pretty barren when your car's value doubles just because it's a 5-speed...

Anyway, my current Scooby is a green '98 Legacy 2.5 GT, 95% stock

(since taking the underhood picture, I've changed the spark plug wires and replaced the snorkel with a fender plug)

Mods are as follows:
eBay knock-off short throw shifter (works surprisingly well)
Hybrid intake with snorkus replaced PVC pipe (http://www.rexnet.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=52984)
Painted faux woodgrain bits with some gunmetal metallic.
And WRX pedal covers, because the stock rubber ones were on their last legs.

Future mods include:
Exhaust (headers, muffler, etc.)
WRX brakes for the front & H6 for the rear
New wheels for snow tires (I'm thinking '02 WRX or just another set of snowflakes)
JDM projector lights and the JDM clear-corner tails
Maybe a lightened flywheel and upgraded clutch, but it's a daily driver, so I'm not too sure yet

There's also my other car...

But that doesn't matter too much in a Subaru forum :wink:

Welcome, looks like a nice x bod., I had a 72 Ventura back in high school for a tire burner.
