Hey guys,

The name is Ben. Bought an '09 Ralliart a year ago this month with about 32kmi on it. Super clean, bone stock and mostly taken care of. The transmission shifts pretty hard on it, so I assume that the previous owner had quite a bit of fun with it, but did an SST service on it about a month ago and it feels a WHOLE lot better. Just starting to play around with some ideas for some very mild mods and will mostly be using the forum for information hunting and hopefully some friendly banter.

I'm previously from the darkside. Had an '04 WRX from 2007-2010. Got rid of it and picked up a '92 SVX. And then I drove a Mazda3 iTouring for 4 years and just couldn't take the boredom any longer. I'm really happy to be back in the world of AWD forced induction. I hope everyone can handle my serious noobness as I haven't turned a single wrench on this bad boy yet. Getting excited to do so, and become part of the community. Feel free to ridicule away as long as it's constructive. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, as I'm sure I'll have plenty. Thanks guys!

-Ben

There she is. About as bone stock as you can get. Tinted the windows a bit, and changed out the marker lights because I hated them. I don't plan to do anything too crazy, but I do want to have her breathing a little better in the next couple of weeks. I'm sure I'll just start a project thread.

sounds good, please post that project/build thread once you get it going
