Hey everyone.

I used to post on here a bit back when I was deployed to the Qatar in 2004. I used to drive a Black 2003 Lancer OZ Rally. Recently, I sold it and decided to test drive both the STi and the Evo. Don't ask why but the Scooby won my heart. It was a rough decision for a while (as I was so f*ckin' dead set on a new Evo9) but Im happy with the outcome. Anyways just wanted to say hey to any old people that still might be around here (PgMike included). Im not car guru but I'm learning as I go along. Infact, I just went to my buddy, Nick's, place (drives an Evo9) and he helped me install my Invidia g200. Another friend of mine did my V3 DP(divorced WG) to complete the TBE setup. Anywho, Nick turned me onto the Tactrix Cable and Ive installed EcuFlash and Enginuty to my laptop to datalog and hopefully learn a bit about tuning. I'll be cruising the boards here and on Iwsti.com to hopefully gain a much broader perspective on my Sti and Evo's alike

Oh, and as for the Alias, lol, its was 3 years ago and I dont know wtf I was thinking. If any mod wants to change it for me please do so. LawlSTi is my other handle. BTW, it seems they removed the photo albums from the User CP. Were the boards getting flooded or something?

Just a few pics of the ride

Looks good. Wheres the rally pig sticker *wink* haha. Everytime I see an 06/07 STi, they always tend to have that rally pig sticker in their side mirrors. Looks awesome nonetheless.

Nah man. Its just the last picture. I wasn't taking the pic directly infront of the car. I was at a little bit of an angle. My alignment is fine. Also it might just be the shadow that wheel throws off. I see where it might look messed up

Lol now you got me worried. Gunna haveta go outside an make sure =P

It sounds awesome, man. Very deep and bubbly at low rpm and Idle, but maintains it throughout WOT. With just the CBE the sound isnt loud at all. It wasnt until I added the DP that it become much louder.
