I thought about it for a while, and realistically I want to pay off a lot more of the wagon before I trade it in. I'm thinking in a year or two. Then with the trade in and a fat down payment, I could get much lower payments than I'm doing now. Oh, but that tranny feels so good. When I first drove an STI, I hadn't learned to drive a Subaru yet, having only driven two WRX's. Now that I've altered my driving style it was so much more fun to drive one. The salesman was cool about it too. Told me to drive it like it was my own, just like the last one did. He didn't bust out any powerslides, though. That guy was crazy. I did play around with the DCCD and launching. Think about that when you buy your brand new STI and baby it through the break-in period.

The guy I test drove with was a fricken nut case!!! He took me out in Navigators Landing and went 100 down the straight stretch towards the 90, then just to get better gearring he down shifted and basically powerslid around the corner damn near tagging the curb right before the car caught grip and launched us straight ahead again....I swear to god we were about a half inch from the curb and doing at least 80 around the corner...........
All said and done he busts a line from Bad Boys 2........WHHOOOOOOOOO THAT ONE PUCKERED UP MY BUTTHOLE

Hey, we should all meet up this weekend. Bo might have some parts to install too. I talked to Troy last night and he suggested getting together this weekend. The sun has been out, it might be perfect weather for a cruise.

Do either of you guys remember the name of the salesman that you were dealing with? I know Joel and Jon pretty well.

I think the first time I test drove an STI last year around June or so the salesman's name was Joel. He waited till we got around the corner and the car was warmed up, then a couple of 4 wheel drifts/powerslides. He was telling me how they all got sent to a three day performance driving school in Cali.

I think the salesman a couple days ago was named Seth.

LPPTundWRX - I keep reading your avatar where it say "Mugen spec" EP3. I'm kind of interested, what all did you have done to it?

I think I had a joel also, it was when they first arrived to SOSVM, But I dont believe this Joel works there anymore.

My 02 Civic Si went as follows:

K24A1 Block and Internals
K20A2 Head with ITR cams
DC Race Header
AEM CAI
AEM SRI
CTR Valve cover
CTR Engine cover
CTR Spark plug covers
MSD Ignition Coils
Nology wires
Mugen Aluminum lower control arms
DC Sports titanium upper strut brace
Mugen rear strut brace
Neuspeed X Brace
Mugen Head Gasket
Mugen Tstat and Rad cap
CTR Rear sway Bar
CTR Rear Hatch Spoiler
Fiber Images Carbon Fiber Hood
CTR Front Headlamps
CTR Rear Taillamps
Invidia Cat Back-Mugen Mid Pipe
Mugen Flag Decals (strip down the side of the body)
CTR Guage Cluster
Hondata K Pro
Honda Intake Manifold Gasket
Spoon Throttle Body 70mm
17"x7" Racing Hart Evolutions CP??

I think that was it...I cant remember anything else off the top of my head. I didnt get around to getting a 6 speed tranny out of the type r's, and I never got around to getting the 5 lug. But I had ordered the front and rear Japanese bumpers with CTR Front Lip Rear Lip and Side skirts but had to cancel because of all the problems I was having. So I traded it in for my WRX

Did you have to go through all the BS of going to the dealer and having them reprogram the security code? I've heard that's a PITA.
