Hellooo '11 REX
Update: Found the timing belt to be installed correctly but factory defect, when the motor was cold the car would run fine, while it warmed up the timing belt would stretch and act like it was a tooth off. Replaced the timing belt yet again and car runs fine.
Installed the Invidia V3, and Q300 car is ridiculously quiet, not sure if I will enjoy this yet or not.
Installed Tein Super Street Coilovers and did yet ANOTHER alignment to find the power steering rack is puking oil out EVERYWHERE.. Replacing the lines and rack when I get back home and doing ANOTHER alignment.
Deciding currently on rollers... Might be ordering a set of 18x10 rota svn.

Sweet STi and what a find - unmolested. Sound like once you get a few of the things mentioned above, she will be as good as new!
2012 WRX Hatchback ISM - Base Model - STI STS, SPT Boost Gauge, AEM Intake, TP Stage 1 Tune, red illumination kit, cobb shift knob, 20% tint - currently on stock wheels wrapped in Pirelli Winter Carving Edge Tires
Some cooltidbits to come...
Looks nice!
I just put a Nameless axle back on my 09 with 4" mufflers and it's a lot louder than I thought it would be. It sounds good at idle and howls at WOT with no drone at free way speeds. Good quality work, but I had to wait about a month for it because they ran out of material.
damn 18x10s??? Bit overkill isn't it?
