Last update. 4/28/08

1/20/08 update.
Well I bought my car form Carmax on October 24, 2006 with 21,000 miles. I paid $29,000 out the door for her. As of 1/3/08 I have just over 41,000 mile.

Heres the jist of what I have don't to my STi.

Brakes:
DBA rotors, Goodridge SS brake lines and hawk HP+ pads.

Exhaust:
Cobb cat-back installed. I have a cat-less downpipe waiting to be installed.

4/11/08 Update.

Suspension.

24mm Adj. Whiteline sway bays front and rear, Swift Spec-r springs and Kartboy sway bar end links. Mm mm This set up so so nice.

4/28/08 Update:

New tires. See page 2 for pictures.
mileage update: 47xxx.

here are some stock pictures.

Next I got a carbon fiber hood scoop and de-badged.

Then on Thanksgiving morning I went to my car to find that some unholy douche bag had done this to my car. The total bill was just under 2 grand to get fixed. The rock dent wasn't enough they also had to brake my window.

Next the shopping cart wing came off, traded it to a another subie own.

Then I did this one day. It look a lot worse then it really was. total bill for that was 13 grand. ouch, but hey that why i pay 167 dollars a month for insurance.

So the day I got my car back for the body shop, I did this to my brakes. What you are looking at are DBA rotors, Goodridge SS brake lines and Hawk HP+ pads.

Now on to the pictures of the new paint, in none of these pictures is my car waxed yet.

In the past year I have gotten two speeding tickets. second one was only 10 over and then I bought my V1 and never looked back. The first one was quite a dozy, I was clocked at 122 in a 60. OUCH. I plead guilty and was give a fine of 440 bucks and 2 points.

Now for the more random pictures.

Who docent like thermal pictures, cause I sure like them.

I'm got a bunch more to add, but I need a break. enjoy. more to come.

Nice pics man, I love me some WRB subarus.

That's insane that you got off with just a ticket for that 120mph offense. They would have arrested you if you lived in Cali.

HOLY ish, I see that now. You are one lucky bastard for the CHP to let you off that easy. Tongue

Damn, I missed the 13k ouchie...lol. My thought is that you drove a little too close to the brushpile. Wink

Nice car bro. Looks 1000 times better with the WRX wing on it.

Nice ride! go Nor Cal boys lol, and where are your stock Brembos?

Wow! How come my ticket for doing 127+ in a 55 mph zone netted me a fine of $1350 with 1 point and you got 2 points and a fine of $440 for doing 122 in a 60 mph zone? I know my ticket happened 25 years ago but damn....I think you got off easy. But then again I only paid $40 of that fine and did 186 hours of community service.

I didn't get a dog with my car?! WTF? Is that cuz I don't have an STi? Is that an extra selling point these days cuz WRX's are soo much cooler? Esp. PSM bugeyes? JK.
