I just joined the forum and will for sure be at the next meet. My name is Kory, I have a 2003 Impreza Wrx, just bought the car and from what I can tell it has an an upgraded intercooler, a EVO 3 TDO5H turbo, turbo back exhaust, and tenzo 18 in. rims.....

Welcome! Where did you by the car from?

I bought it from Southwest Auto Group, but I do know the car is in perfect running condition. You could say that's a perk of being a mechanic.

Awesome! Good to know you have knowledge. I've browsed some of their cars that they claimed to be "in perfect running condition" and all they were, were used and abused. Tried to sell a friend a G35 coupe. It looked nice but had a high idle and billowed a combo of blue and white smoke from the exhaust. Claimed that they had never seen it do that before and that it had just received a complete tune up from their mechanic.

The only thing I have found was that the air filter doesn't seem to be the right one, the flex piping from the intercooler to the intake manifold had slipped of but I fixed that, and it takes a few turns of the key to get it started...... but they are easy fix's
