Congrats and welcome! I'm coming from a vehicle that was somewhat similar to your STI and my M235i puts a smile on my face every time I drive it! I love the wide powerband and the inline 6 howl. I also find myself enjoying the refinement and comfort. Long trips in this car are no problem.

BTW, great color.

Now you have to decide on what tune to go with... Enzo (most power) or Dinan (warranty)

If you were thinking about getting a tune and/or more performance parts for it, you should consider Fabspeed Motorsports. You are local enough to bring the car in and get a custom dyno tune by their experienced in-house tuner. Speaking from experience, these guys are legit. Beyond happy with my hardware power upgrades I got from them and also my tune. John@Fabspeed is the man and will direct you through the whole process.

His name is Steve, like I said before, dude is legit. I would give Fabspeed a call and talk with John Brandenberger. They have tons of experience and are great people, easy to work with.

Their phone number is 215-646-4945
