Hey, i think theres about 5-6 of us on this board within 20 minutes of each other. I figured I'd start a roll call thread just to see how many of us there are.
Name, Age

Car info
I'll start it off:
Jason, 17
I'm located near the intersection of wilmington pike and whipp. You'll usually see me driving on 48.
04 WRB WRX, a few mods right now. Hopefully Cobb Stage 2 by next year.
bout 9am now and no I haven't slept. I saw some pics from the ricecle meet. guess nick, dave and justin were there. don't know who else.
oh in case dave didn't mention it to anyone, my clutch is f'ed. thx stupid ass-hole centerville kid on a bike who i'd like to run the hell over someday.
anyone doing anything this fine, hot humidic winter day? i'm thinking about drinking early. mabye 11am. who's down!?
There were some decent cars last night. A couple Evo's (as usual), Supercharged 350Z, New M3 with huge wheels, and a few others.
I was planning on going to that Dayton Tire cruise-in today, but I just woke up. Stayed up way to late last night, and now I'm supposed to go to the International Festival thing at the Convention Center.
Saturday night's cruse-in at Mr Cheng's was pretty cool, lots of nice cars, a great assortment of rides throughout the night.
My count:
(1) 69 Camaro (pretty built and fast)
(2-3) Mustang Cobras (00-03's or so)
(2) WRX's (IntegratoWRX and myself)
(2) Black STI's (Dave's and another for sale at 28k)
Gold wheels > Silver wheels
(1) 1st gen 300ZX (white)
(1) 2nd gen 300ZX (gray with tons of upgrades and engine work. Easily the fastest car there with 450 WHP!)
(2) Evo8's (white and gray)
(2) BMW M3's (newer red one owned by young HS kid, and blue one owned by the same guy who has the supercharged Civic running 13.5's)
(1) G35 Coupe (gray/silver)
(1) 350Z (blue) with supercharger, pushing 350 WHP or so.
* I overheard that the 350Z guy beat out the red M3 the night before in a street race, it was funny to hear the M3 guy asking him about it.
(1) SRT-4 (blue) looked really nice and the guy was cool.
(1) SSR truck - very interesting to check out the engine bay.
(1) "Extremely Riced out Civic" - the same guy I posted earlier about in this thread with the "PSSST SI" plates. Had lambo doors, hydraulics, 3 insanely huge NOS canisters, DVD, etc... Lots of money, hugely ricer pimp.
There were other cars there, but those are the ones worth mentioning. Oh yeah, there was a caddy there with spinner rims. That was probably the most entertaining part of the night. 2 kids sitting in lawn chairs, getting out occasionally to give the wheels another "spin" to keep them going. This went on for most of the night and was patheticly lame.
It was a great Suby showing, I was proud of our representation!
Weren't the other two yellow canisters for the hydraulics or an air ride suspension. Totally agree that I'd have to kick my own @ss if I drove that car. Eric, I called and left a message, but I guess you didn't get it.
Nick, I stopped by the Dayton tire meet. I was one of the only few cars built after 1970 so I parked on the edge. I was real surprised to see the interest from the other folks for the STi. One guy was talking about how to put the EJ20 in the back of his VW Bus. His kid had a 1960 "hotrodded" bug that won some awards at the Autorama. Much respect from the Dayton Tire Owner too. Rest of the cars were chromed and shiny big blocks. They had some other crazy 1980s era momo GT car. I washed the car too and they love the gold flecks in the paint.
Oh yeah, build a hood scoop screen over the weekend. I think some of you have one but I'll answer questions if anyone's gonna do it. My advice, cut it bigger than the template on the internet. I thought that I could make another from the extra gutter guard but it was like an inch too short.

Dude I'm sorry I talked you into going, and then I didn't even show up. I drank too much Sat. night and stayed up way too late. I woke up around noon, and I had to be somewhere at 1:00.(I was planning on checking out Dayton Tire for an hour or so beforehand) Did you meet Tony with the 350Z w/ 19's? He's my friend that works there, and he's a super nice guy.
Saw the Z parked out there. Looked nice. I think the guy might have been Tony. Dark, short hair mid thirtyish? He said he was the guys kinda running the meet.
Screen's in tonight, totally stealth and my intercooler is now bird safe. First homemade mod, sniff. Taking out the orange crap is next.
Thanks for the link, I posted a link to my thread with pics and comments about my "hoodscoop vs. bird" incident.
My ACL replacement knee surgery is THIS FRIDAY, May 28th. at 8:15 AM. I'll not be moving from my house for at least a week. I'll be on crutches for 3 weeks afterward most likely. Fun times.
So I guess you can count me out for any WRX activities this weekend and the weekend(s) to come...
I'm in a new office on the other side of the base surfing the net on a friend's computer...and ClubWRX still says "Hello Fatgroundhog." Everyone on WPAFB is fatgroundhog when they log on. I rule. Too bad my new office sucks.
Nice day for driving too fast. I'm up for a Saturday meet. Maybe up north to accomidate all the northern dwellers. Ok, I think that's only me. You all suck.
Thanks so much for the info. I eagerly await.
I think you screwed up the links cause it goes to the same post for both. I still don't see the stage one results.
Wow. After looking at those dyno graphs, your torque will be simply "smashing" (literally)!! +33 LB Torque (at the wheels) for Stage1 and +68 Lb Torque (at the wheels) for Stage2 is incredible!
It's kinda a shame that you can get as much horsepower out of those mappings (the STI is just not de-tuned like the WRX was from the factory), but certianly torque will make your car a much better "street racer".
I'm excited to get a ride with you guys when you get them in. I AM getting a ride in both your cars too...even if I have a gimp leg and crutches...
Those numbers look great for Stage 1 and Stage 2. It's still pretty close to the WRX stage increases. 25 horse at the flywheel for Stage 1 and 50 horse at the flywheel for Stage 2. The torque gains are amazing. I would gladly give up a little horsepower for more torque.
Just found out that I have a nifty drainage bag for my knee that needs to get changed out every 8-10 hours or so. Since you volunteered, Subisnack, I'll be calling you up to help change it out!
Ummmm... Ok
I actually work close to you ( I think), so if you need food or anything around lunch time, and when I get off, let me know. Was that you going south on 675 a little bit ago in the Fairborn area?
