Finally got signed up for this site! The email thing was an adventure, but I got through the maze...
I'm Dave and I'm an old guy (67 years old) with a 2002 WRX that I bought to use for autocross and rally duty.
I'm in far-southern Ohio, near Ironton.
I've owned the car for a little over a year and it's spent most of that time off the road getting various things done to it.
It was a good, solid car but the paint was scratched and dinged and it had been bumped on the RR quarter, so I had the quarter replaced and then had it shot all-over in the original metallic black.
It's a relatively low-mileage car for the year (103k), so the next order of business was to replace the timing belt, water pump, all hoses, etc.
The clutch wasn't all that great, so I replaced it with an Exedy kit along with new clutch master & slave cylinders.
That's all so far. I'll be buying some wheels/tires sometime this year and may get into the brakes. (They were replaced about a year before I bought the car, but I know nothing about the parts used - the car stops great and doesn't pull, so that's not a priority at the moment.)
I also created an album, but all that's in it so far are two crappy cell-phone pics that pre-date the new paint and the spoiler removal. If you take a look, you'll also see where my forum name came from...
Nice to be here!
