Hi All,

Well, after six years of blissful Subaru STi ownership, tomorrow I take delivery of a 2012 Obsidian IS-F with red interior. I'm quite excited but have a slight twinge in my heart knowing I'm taking my last ride in the STi....a car that still puts a smile on my face six years later.

Anyway, a totally different "beast" I know. Glad to be joining the club and look forward to even bigger smiles!

Jason

Thanks for the welcome. My first mod will be winter wheel and snow tires

I've just started researching what can be done and it looks like intake, headers and exhaust is about it. The STi was pro-tuned but looks like no tuning options for the F. Considering the power bump, I suppose I'd better learn to respect it stock before trying to squeeze anymore out with exhaust or headers. Maybe I'll get the Joez intake in the spring as a start.

I'll try and post some pics after I pick it up this afternoon
