FINALLY! Another VR joins the club!



2004, 17K miles, 6MT, two-tone interior, navi - I couldn't be happier. Previous owner, though attentive, neglected to rotate the tires (not sure why a dealer didn't just do it). Thus, some PZero Neros are going on in a couple days, my rears are near gone, but the fronts are in pretty good shape, so I'll keep them for emergencies.

Already been lurking/posting a little on here, but I look foward to being around a LOT now!

print that out and take it to your dealer.

I have pretty much the same exact car, down to the build date.

will do. I'm pretty sure the previous owner kept up-to-date, I know he had the "engine recall" work done (passed), but I'll check on this. Thanks.

they usually dont do this one unless you specifically have problems because of it. Mention you want this completed and youll have no problems in the future.

PM me for some more details if you want..

Sounds good. I plan to hit up my dealer (had a 6 before this) and just touch base with them, make sure the flash is up to date, I'll mention this, see what else may need to be brought up to speed (just had oil change 1K ago).

Welcome, nice car.

I told my dealer just to keep track of when my tires needed rotating and do it. They're great about that.

username story: had a blue WRX wagon. I nicknamed him Sonic, after the hedgehog. "sonicwrx" was taken on the forum I joined, so I went with 'sonicblue' - had no idea it was the name of tech firm. When I came here, 'sonicblue' was taken, and I first came here when I had the 6 (looking for the Audiolink), hence the '6' at the end.

There. Now........time to change it!
