Default Newbie from South Africa

Hi All,

thought i'd introduce myself

i am from south africa (hope you guys know where that is )

i recently bought a 05 wrx blob eye 2.0T, what do you guys call this model?

mods i have done so far...
full exhaust, down pipe, Hyperflow CAI, Tein S Tech springs, Full HID Kit, mapped & currently pushing about 140wkw with stock turbo

future mods...
Sti Turbo + Intercooler, Walbro Fuel pump, Sti Pink Injectors.
this stuff cost a lot of money down here so trying to save as much as i can

i have been reading a lot on this forum & it is quite informative
so i guess i will be sticking around for quite some time

Cheers
