Done anything to your RA?
So, I've had my RA for almost a month and 1/2 and all I've done to it is purchased a new shift knob and exhaust tip. 
But, my car will be worked on over the next couple of months, I assure you. 
So my question to everyone is:
What, if anything, have you done to your Ralliart so far, and how long have you had it?

plans for an ultimate racing ( under development ) cold air intake, and for an HKS muffler. I was also considering a small shot o juice but we'll see. I still got my 91 sonoma. Pretty low but this summer i'll get her to scrape. I bought the raliart cause I heard lots of good things bout it. Did you know that a stock WRX at all 4 wheels only put down 150 hp on the dyno!! Mind you thats at all 4 wheels. I saw a ralliart put down 146hp at the wheels stock!! not to shabby!!!

the wrx puts down more that 150awhp stock. I have seen stock dynoes ranging from 165-170awhp. Which is pretty nice. Unfortunately for the price you get a lot more with the RA, but if I had the extra 5-6k to put down I would have had a wrx in a second.

So far i've put a Road/Race Cold Air Intake, their Rear Sway Bar and K Bar and Autocross Perches. Kenwood stereo, tinted windows and some blue headlights. 
I think i'll be needing some new brake pads soon 
Mind as well go slotted rotors too! 
xstephenx, i'l like to see a pic of your rims

lol so stephen your saying skunk 2 is not a good company for coil overs, its one of the top brands in my book, and just to let u know there is about 10 other companies that also make coil overs for the RA

I don't think that I would ever want to own a Subaru. Impreza, WRX, WRX STI, none of it. I'd rather drive a dime a dozen 5.0. Actually if I am able to find the magazine, I will let you know what month and what issue the dyno results for a stock WRX were posted. Actually, I thought it was exactly 148.2hp at the wheels. I'll try and find the magazine XstephenX. But that also was just one car. Others could be different

yeah I am not debating you on the stock whp of the wrx, I have just seen some that put down high 160's low 170's, but yeah that may just be differences in dynoes.
gizzer - I didn't say skunk2 was a ****ty company, I just said i wouldn't buy them. I would rather get a company like JIC, Tein, etc. Like I said I don't mind skunk2 but wouldn't buy them for myself. What other companies have you seen that make coilovers for the RA?(I can't really find any, I haven't searched very hard though)
