Did a little bit of reading today, can't even begin to say how helpful it has been since I got the car and begun better understanding each and every modification, great little book fairly cheap too of Amazon! Still deciding on colors for my car but I might be selling my wheels and if I do 17x9 will be my next step up with some fat tires.

I drove my friends 2015 wrx the other day aswell! Interior is definitely an improvement over mine but as far as driving it the steering felt heavy and the clutch too soft for my liking but it handled very well for a stock car.

I did my first oil change ever today! Might I say it was super easy and I'm never going anywhere else for it again! I took some pictures for anyone else interested in how easy it is. Here goes my noob DIY Oil change!

They had a sale on Mobil 1 full synthetic (5W-30) with a Mobil 1 oil filter

So I saved over $45 doing it myself as opposed to a stealership or quick lube. I always thought it was harder on our cars but the bottom tray was only 3 bolts (12mm) and two tabs on the sides near the wheels.

Side tab in the fender well (flat head screwdriver)

Down under tray removed oil filter near the exhaust same with the drain plug (17mm)

With all my oil changes I clean my MAF sensor it has helped any bad gas mileage or rough idle issue I've ever had, and they aren't cheap so take car of it! 

And to top it off I rotated my tires one last time before my summer set comes back, this time a new color!
