Garrett Hughes, freshman this year, new to club! - ispoonwithmugen - 09-27-2011
Hey whatsup everyone..I've met and introduced myself to alot of you guys but anyways.
Onto about me. The names Garrett Hughes, I'm from fredericksburg, va area (spotsylvania if you know) I originally got into cars as soon as i got my license. At the time i was driving my parents 2010 scion tc and kept trying to convince them to let me paint the wheels and they wouldn't go for it. So in the long run they agreed to sell the car. Unfortunately i totaled the car almost right after we put it up for sale:
pic for reference.. me and my girlfriend at the time were fine.

anyway, so a month after that my parents told me and my brother that they were divorcing etc etc.. So we got the money from the totaled tc. I immediately went on the hunt for a car (i hate being carless). I wanted a honda but not a typical one, i wanted a newer one, not the same old same old. I was more concerned with form> function back then but i ended up getting a stock 2004 civic si. I did everything to that car, there was no shopwork. Well basically i started off with minor bolt on's etc. I got into motorwork. I decided stage 3 cams would be nice to my engine. Well my engine didnt really like that and since my timing was off, my head blew. I spend all of the winter of 2010 to fix that. I got it back and running and now i started to get into the whole function aspect. I got tein ss coilovers and some bbs's. To add to that i got 2 brides and gutted the back threw a harness bar in it, and really wanted to take it autoxing but never got the chance. Anyway i sold tha 2 months ago.. Here is my new car: a 2002 subaru wrx with 59k miles and ticking. I go over the goodies in this in my members ride thread

i always thought the EP's were pretty cool even though they're like little minivans.
if this keeps up the Subaru legion may actually start to threaten the reign of the M3/Miata kingdom

Yeah, if they're done up right, I like 'em. Hatches are cool.
Welcome Garrett! Glad to have you around - and there is plenty of Subie knowledge around here if you need it...

I'm doing an A3 swap in to a crx... but at some point i'll need a real daily driver. I think the mini odessey is growing on me. especially when i get a motor for under $500 and a trans for $600.
Re: Garrett Hughes, freshman this year, new to club! - ispoonwithmugen - 09-28-2011
oh yeah man, you should have hit me up 2 months ago.. i had two a3 engines and a k24z2 in my garage.. i would love to help with the swap... i know those motors front to back

Nice job with the TC, that's how I got into motorsports too. After wrecking the same car twice, it gets tiring!
