With today being Canada day, I finally had the time to wash my car after months of neglect. I think the last time I washed it was 8 months to a year ago . Anyways, on with a few pictures.







Mod list:

Maddad catted bellmouth downppipe
Maddad whisper catback
Custom tune (Airboy)

Whiteline 24 mm adjustable front sway bar
Whiteline 22 mm adjustable rear sway bar
GroupA front and rear endlinks

17x8 bronze Enkei RPF1 wheels
225/45/17 Bridgestone RE01R tires

Ferodo DS2500 brake pads

Rally Armor skid plate

Kartboy front and rear shifter bushings
SPT short shifter

I have various other parts but no point in listing them since they're not go-fast bits.

Parts to be installed:

VF43 turbo
STI top mount intercooler
AEM cold air intake
GroupA pitch mount
Technafit stainless steel brake lines
STI springs
Whiteline ALK
Prodrive EBCS

When the dollar is back on par, I'll likely buy Tokico D-Specs and new springs, maybe RCE blacks. In the far future, meth injection is a possibility but for the most part, I'm not really concerned about getting more power above what the turbo swap offers. I barely boost on the street as it is.

 

I'll make this real simple here:

If people cannot be civil and respectful, it's going to be ban time. I can't sit here and babysit this thread or the issues contained herein. If anyone is posting in haste: take a walk and then come back when you cool off. Thread closed for a little bit so we can all take a break.

J.D.

 

What the hell's going on in here?

Nice car, Amby.

I mean, I'd crash it...

 

i like the color and the wheels, but the car will def look better with a drop. not a fan of the wing at all though.

 

Hey SASD, Do you want to fill me in on why you feel the need to erase my posts? I have never, nor will I ever "fuel the fire" in any post, but I just happened to read several posts regarding these two going at it today, and commented on it. I have not sided with anyone and I find it irritating that you delete my posts because of a simple question.

 

You'll notice that all of my posts are gone as well, as is the post asking about the turbo. Sometimes it's easier to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.

 

yes, a clean slate is a good idea. you should give that a try with your trunk. you could start over with an STi limited lip spoiler, or STi wing. it would look much better than that starship enterprise piece there now.

 

Would you rather that I go through them all and issue points and bans for all that earned them? Your particular post was indeed fueling the fire and would have resulted in a warning at the very least. I thought that deleting them all was better.....unless you think I was wrong...

 

Yes, you've made your point, you don't like my stock wing, that's nice. If I put an STI wing on it, I'd need to drill new holes in my trunk and of course deal with all the people calling me a ricer for the shopping cart spoiler. I see no reason to spend money when stocker works fine.

 

point taken. i didn't know if the two wings used the same mounting wholes or not. as far as people thinking you're a ricer, so what? function over fashion. if you do use your car on the track, i'm sure the STi wing would be of more use to you than the WRX one would, but it's your car, do what you want.

 

Good looking ride! Definitely will look better with a drop. Keep up the good work!

 

yeah to install the STi wing on a regular wrx u have to drill new holes and if u wanted the limited spoiler u have to fill the holes from the original spoiler thats why there are trunk trading threads all over nasioc
by the way nice clean ride

 

Finding an STI in my color locally is impossible, I have yet to see an UGM STI. There is another WRX my color with an STI spoiler but I just don't see the point. On track, I have no rear-end stability issues even at 190 KPH and the downforce between the two appears to be fairly equal. Moreover, to make full use of the STI wing, I'd need the roof spoiler which requires drilling into the C pillars. Too much effort. If I was going to change spoilers, I'd go for something different entirely but for the moment I'm happy with the stocker. Less attention from cops and ricers alike.

 

Amby how many times do I need to tell you damnit, NEEDS MORE SLAM.

NOW.

 

You of all people should know that slam does not equal performance.
