[The best engine oil out there]

I use Mobil 1 and Fram filters in my WRX. No problems. I also stick a very strong magnet to the bottom of the oil filter to attract the metal shavings. I also disagree with synthetic oils being bad to use in vehicles being stored for more than 30 days. I run Mobil 1 in my Camaro and store in for the winter and I've never had a problem yet. The oil leaves a nice film on the cylinder walls.

[300ZX TT Vs Subaru Impreza STI]

Groan...why do people insist on throwing horsepower figures around. First, the figures mentioned are flywheel or crank not wheel horsepower. Second, the Z has 1 more turbo and 2 more cylinders. My guess is the Z will make much more torque than the STI. And last, the Z has a far greater potential to make power than the STI. A cat back, intake, and chip, and you're looking at 500 (flywheel) horsepower. I've personally seen a stock 96 Z race a new STI, no contest, not evev close, granted, anything can happen on the street adn a lot of times it boils down to the driver. I never have to worry though, I have both a new WRX and a 95 Z-28 (dynoed at 425 rwhp) and I have yet to be taken on the street.

[Forester turbos are fast!!!]

Hmmm....let's see, a heavier car, makes less boost, makes less horsepower, and is faster than a standard WRX.....not. I would not believe everything (or much of anything really) in those car mags.

[Paintless Dent Removal]

I've heard that using dry ice will work well too in taking out small (hailstone sized) dents.

[First Mods]

Just joined the forum and have a rather basic question to ask. I will be taking delivery of an '04 WRX wagon here in a couple of weeks. It obviously will not remain stock for long, but what mods should I do first?
