Hey guys, My name is Ben... Picked up a 04 JBP WRX in the fall from a wrecking yard and I'm slowly getting it back in to shape. I'm fairly green to the whole Subaru stuff so I'm always scoping out web forums to see whats good to do. A member of NASIOC hit me up and told me I should post up here and talk to you guys since I'm local to Reno.
Whats up with my car is that it was sideswiped on the drivers side so a salvage title was issued due to having damage to the front pillar at the lower hinge on the driver's door. Therefore my main issue is that the new door that's on hangs a little off and the seems dont meet up as they should.
Other than getting some exterior things taken care of I still have some high hopes for this car and I've been searching around for some coil overs along with some STI control arms and other upgrades for the suspension. The motor is bone stock so I wont really get in to that other than exhaust and some minor computer upgrades until I have the body addressed.
Pretty much what I am in need of is a good spot to get mechanical help for these Subaru's for jobs that are beyond my garage's abilities. I am also looking for a good body shop that is reasonable to take out some dents and possibly bring the rear door back to life as it is just scraped.
Any one else that has any good info for me about the Reno Community and whats up in the Subaru scene here would be a great help to me. Any locals that have some goodies sitting around their garage's that they think would be a good asset to my car, please hit me up, I'm all about workin deals. My e-mail is
