I figured I have procrastinated enough on posting this up- and finally had some time to do it so here goes--

I'm David-- a Junior this year and member of MM since freshman year. My freshman year I didnt have a car around so it was mainly ride alongs and checking things out. I started looking at cars the end of my freshman year and talked to Adam about his WRX... And I was hooked. It was everything I wanted: a fun, quick car but with 4 doors and enough room, plus AWD for snowboard trips. I bought my 02 last summer with around 50,000 miles on it.

Right after I bought her--

The car was great stock- but of course the mod-bug bit within a couple months. Over the past year I have done the basics- with a focus on autox in the last couple months or so. So as she sits now-- Turbo-back exhaust, prodrive springs, 24mm sways F&R, 17x7.5 Tarmacs with 235 Direzza Star specs.

I think I have done 8 autocrosses now- and have really enjoyed the car for that.

I guess I am also one of MM's big photo buffs- although I feel like that number grows every year! I work for JMU Sports Media and shoot most games, events, etc. So if you see me on the sidelines be sure to yell at me. On the same note I get to play around with a lot of really cool equipment- I was hoping to write up something for the alum MM photo guys on our new D3!

great color choice 8)

a 50k mile bugeye is a rare bird these days. any plans for a flash or would that class you out in autocross? also how do you like your sways? i'm currently going the "more strut less bar" route and wonder if i should have done the opposite.

don't hang around Adam, his car is a bad influence!

How do you like the star specs? I hear they're a lot better on the bigger wheel/tire combos.

As per Scotty-- Yea, when I was looking around I really wanted to try and find a fairly un-molested bugeye. Luckily I found this one- really clean and low miles; and I cant be happier. I am looking to flash soon, I just need to install the damn uppipe, which can be a bitch. And on suspension- I love the sways. I am still on stock struts with Prodrive springs, so these helped out a bunch. I have really heard good things about doing it either way (softer spring/struts, HUGE sways and vice versa)

And I love the Star Specs, nothing bad to say about them. They have been amazing in the wet and dry- absolutely awesome for autox
