Bringing her home wet...

Rocko15 · 09-12-2009, 02:59 PM

Hey guys...I'm pretty new here, I've been watchin the forum for awhile tho. Nasioc gave me that last push I needed to become a Scooby owner, and I can finally say I am the proud owner of an MY09 WRX Premium in WR Blue Mica. I look forward to gettin plenty of help on mods and maintenance in the months to come from everybody here. I know everyone here loves pics, Ill post some later if I can get outta the driver seat

Looks like you've got your priorities straight, at least. Pics be damned; go driving!

Welcome. Always nice to see another Josh on the forum.

KMD · 09-12-2009, 11:28 PM

I love the new 09's

I'm stuck not driving my 02 due to some wiring problems I have no idea how to fix.

Yea, the salesman told me "just don't use cruise control for the first 3,000 miles, drive her as hard as you want!"

Couldn't believe it. From what I see on here, looks like proper break-in is keepin it under 4k for the first 1000 miles?

Kenny (L-CO) · 09-13-2009, 12:08 PM

Misleading, this thread's title is.

Congrats on the purchase

WRBear · 09-13-2009, 12:12 PM

Congrats. How much did you get a 09 Premium for this late in the game?

LOL, I was thinking "PICS".

But I guess pics would still be appropriate.

When was it built?

Rocko15 · 09-14-2009, 12:33 AM

Haha, sorry, it rained all day yesterday, forgot to mention that in the op. I picked it up for 25,751, the only option being the SPT short shifter. I know I can get the build date off of the VIN, just not sure. Once I do, I'll post it along with some pics. It was delivered two weeks ago, so it was pretty damn new...only 5 miles on it, now sportin 267. I'll steal the work cam tomorrow and post pics

WRBear · 09-14-2009, 12:40 AM

Lol, damn, I should have held out

I got my 09 Non-Premium for 25,600 OTD. But that was also April.

Rocko15 · 09-14-2009, 12:59 AM

Yea, i was lookin at base wrx's, and could've had one for 23,500. But when I got them down to 25,700 on the premium, I had to bite. Signing the papers, the finance guy looked at me n said "you beat the ***** out of us!"

I wouldn't drive it as hard as possible, but don't be a *****-foot haha. And he was right, try not to keep it at constant rpm for long periods of time.

WRBear · 09-14-2009, 01:55 AM

Pardon my ignorance, but is cruise control really that bad on a new engine? I had never heard anything about that before. I can understand if you set the cruise control at > 4k rpms, but what if you're just cruising at about 3k?

Cruise control should not be used at first once the motor is broken in then use it as much as you want. To properly break in the motor you should drive it nice and easy varying rpms and try not to keep it at a constant rpm.

congrats on the car man. I have the same one in Black, but mine has the SPT exhaust and not the SPT short shifter (i wish it did). I picked mine up for 27,500 back in June. Guess it looks like a shoulda waited a little longer
