i know the name says So-Cal... im from So-Cal (SOuthern CALifornia) but i live in NY now.. my name is Dallas, but everyone calls me Chris, due to my last name and i just got outta the army. anyways.. a lil bit about me.. I have a '97 Acura Integra GSR with $15,000 invested in aftermarket parts.. its my baby and my show car but its still being finished. (so i kinda know sum things about fixing cars up) i know the Subaru is different and i just paid for a '05 Subaru Legacy 2.5i sedan. im doing research and trying to learn this car.. its my very first Subaru. (ive had hondas and a Jetta previously) i have only test driven the car but i fell in love with it almost instantly. i feel like ive been missing out my whole life now . lol.. its also my first all wheel drive car.. i came to this site cuz i wanted to hear from REAL people that love Subarus some advice and tips when it comes to "advancing" her looks and possible performance.. i got this car for just under $4,900 and its for my wife, but ill be the one doing everything to it. so ill be on here when i have questions, to post pix (when i have them) of the car and stuff i do to it and to hopefully learn from all of u and ur experiences.. so, see you all around.

Welcome to SLi.

Thats a big step going from what I can only assume vtec 9000k red line with massive torque steer to a well balanced 5600k shifting brute. The joy of symmetrical all wheel drive :-D

Start a members ride when you are ready and let the games begin. 05' BL/BP for less then $5000 is a steal! You have a very classy looking car with lots of potential.

Cheers Chris (Dallas)
