Southern MD here!
 

HI ho guys, former STi owner now owns an RA and loving it. I have not seen a single RA down here, nada.

Well open your eyes and start clicking you will find plenty here.

Hey welcome! where at in southern maryland?! I live in Mechanicsville, MD ;)

Buds Creek! Good to know, i`ll see you when the track opens!
Waldorf now in Ft. Washington.

Ill have to message you when I get my turbo in and head down the track! Ive never seen another Ralliart before!

wow STi to an RA? why the switch to an RA instead of Evo X? please share your story :D

Yessir, we have to meet up. Do you DIY? Planning on getting a FMIC real soon :)

STi to RA, I had a 2006 STi and was loving it. Any Suby modder can tell you, it is so dang sexpensive to modify it and gain a decent amount of HP. Tried to tune it myself so I borrowed a friends Garret, the rest was just like a puff of smoke to me. get it? lol.
Why not an Evo? After all the bills and the upside down loan on the burnt up STi, i`m lucky to even get this RA.

ahhh, didn't even cross my mind it was an older STi. For some reason I thought you were in a new 2008+ STi

I like the 06 STi's styling. best one imo with that front grille. But they can definitely get expensive to mod - an engine rebuild isn't exactly cheap :p

I really thought the STi vs Evo was actually close, but after learning more with my tuner - those subie motors are nowhere near as strong as the Evo's. Getting past 350whp gets costly on subies apparently, where it's just a matter of bolt-ons with an Evo (4g63 or 4b11)

You are correct, stock block don`t last very long also.
Oh and I finally found a tuner on DCEvo.com , if any locals want to come with me all you need to buy is a wideband.

Good to see another RA in the DC/MD/VA area. Did you buy yours with the side-mounted plate frame? I'm debating on just putting mine on the nose like it should be or getting the EVO X frame and putting it on.
