Hi everybody,

What a great site this is with lots of info about the car I own and love to drive :grin: .

I am Alwin, born in 1974 and from the Netherlands (Europe). For a living I do production planning for an electronics company in Gouda.
That is a town about 110 kilometers (aprox. 70 miles) away from where I live (Apeldoorn).

I live there with my wife and 1 year old son. We have a second on the way, due next june.

As of november I drive a 2002 Legacy 2.0 BE on liquid petrolium Gas. That way it is affordable to drive a Subaru to work 4 days every week, 40,000 kilometers (25,000 miles) per year.

STI interior:

At the moment I drive these 16" Impreza wheels with winter tires. Next spring I will run the car with 2008 17" WRX Impreza wheels. Not sure what tires yet.
But that will depend upon what suspension changes I will make. At the moment I'm thinking of BC Racing coilovers. But I need to figure out if the highest setting is not to low for daily use.

Other than that I have no big modifictions planned......yet :wink:

Welcome to SLi!

Grab a copy of the Euro Factory Service Manual located in my signature / literature section.

That STI interior looks fancy enough :-D

Those rims should clear larger brakes if you choose that method.

I hope you enjoy the SLi community and take advantage of all the things that you can do to your "leggy"

Cheers
-Chuck
