I bought an 02 WRX when they came out and signed up here. I had the Vishnu unichip on it.
Then I bought an 04 STI when it came out, but only kept it 2 years I went through an Evo, a couple 240's, and have been using a Prius as a daily for 10 years. I'm finally back to Subarus in the past 2 years and I have owned 2 bugeyes and now an 08 STI. I need to stay off Craigslist.... Currently building a very abused 08 STI into a Rallycross machine. I missed these cars. |

I know I'm not a true OG, but I was here long enough to witness the death of "JDM", the rise of "stancenistas" (still waiting for it to die) and the birth of flat billed vape brodawgs - which I can't wait to see go up in smoke - sorry, I can't help it.
I sold my '07 STi, last year, and have a garage queen Type RA, but I genuinely miss when this place was full of people who cared about their builds, did things right and had a greater respect for the community at large. |

I feel like the OG's have aged and upgraded cars or are in hiding like Jedi after order 66. I forsure am in hiding from the dominant new appreciation of:
replica/knockoff parts, nascar tire stickers, slammed non functional stance, typical hat with vape paired with target basketball shorts (lol), wide body kits with bolts everywhere/poor fitment, blacking out everything, sticker bombing, non functional/excessive aero parts. When I was younger what people described as "rice", is actually super nice now, there's like a 5% appreciation toward oem+ builds, or just modifying in a clean way/trying to make the car like the "better cars", whether the euro one's or anything "better". But we all like our own colors in life right so it's all good. I love running into "og" people though, I'm amazed when someone notices my s204 wheels, ra-r pink grill, ect. lol |

It came with the brembo calipers on the side but I sold them. I can run 15's with rally tires with these brakes though so I am keeping it that way |

I bought my 03 Bugeye in 04. Still considered an OG?
Aside from the sun damaged roof, dented fenders, and dings here and there, she still runs great with +215K miles under her belt. She just got a new set of Tein Flex Z's, and still puts a smile on my face every time I go for a drive, which isn't too often now that I'm working from home and with all that COVID/quarantine stuff. LMK if anyone wants a set of KYB AGX's and Prodrive springs for cheap. |

That's forums in general. It's ashame because FB groups are a pain and hard to share or find useful info on.

I bet the core group of OTers is less than 50. I'll define that as folks who post at least weekly.

@Nutbucket,
Don't go bringing the OTers into this discussion. It will go sideways very quickly. You let them keep their own little playground and everyone will be just happy... |

It was pretty dope that the vendors would actually chime in if their products had some issues from customers and get it resolved. I Remember whiteline was always active on this forum and interact with their customers.
Oh and that uncle scotty guy , lol |

His cocktail of trans fluid was a joke (1 component was actually corrosive to the brass syncro rings) and people actually bought into his BS that you could fix a mechanical failure with a fluid. He was always abusive and insulting to anyone who challenged his belief in the all mighty "Scotty's Cocktail"
Sorry no tears shed for him here |
