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?

You have any pix you can post? I'd like to see the car lowered. Also, I was thinking the same thing about powder coating my rims....Make them different from anyone else. I am tired of buying rims and tires for cars and my track history is not keeping cars for long, so I just waste money, unfortunately.....

I am in the process of getting an exhaust and cai from rrm, I am going to get coilovers but I would like a better company that skunk2 to come out with them first. Sorry to inform you, but I have gotten my rims powdercoated black already(like a dark grey).

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.

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)
