Definitely open to advice as to which route to take with the turbo heard plenty of advice so far the dom seems to be the best way to take as to building an awesome street wrx / future racecar
Turbosmart recirculating bov installed definitely enters boost much sooner than the stock plastic bov plus this one looks much nicer!
New wheels on their way to my house erhmegerd herrafrush stance to encourage her to dance! Gonna have to roll my rear fenders and hopefully thats it lol.
When I saw your post about your "baby Emily" I thought it was going to be pics of a human child. LOL. She is beautiful though! Love the custom tails Hopefully mine get here soon! :wiggles:
Aw yeah wish I could see the more rare orange sti over here I've already seen 4 different orange wrx. They are my 2nd favorite color! After DGM of course :woocow:
Really considering selling my baby, having to help out my parents out a lot with bills and my insurance going up recently ($300 a month ?) gotta get rid of my dream car if you know anyone interested in the Tri-State Area let me know!
I actually only have one ticket that came with points and that was from over a year ago but it's hitting hard now with congress lack of decision making on the debt crisis I won't be getting paid anytime soon for my military service this past month which i am very dependent on soon to be out $1600 ? help me sell!
I'm hopefully selling it to a local friend that way I can still see her from time to time but it's gonna leave a burden on my heart I love this car so much ?
Had a little photo shoot with my friend not too long ago it got dark while we shot so most of the photos were no good
Possibly going full time at work soon which means more pay and hours = keeping emily!!!!!
Still not sure when thats gonna happen though hopefully soon!
Been a little while I'm definitely keeping my car put my mud flaps back on for winter mode. Looking to get new winter tires, stage 1 clutch, and other supporting winter mods depending on how well I do plowing this year. Going to be promoted to full time around March if I'm not already gone away to SOI / school of infantry and from there Scout Sniper course.
Moral of the story me and Emily are never breaking up! ?
Most recent mods I did were swap my summer floor mats for rubber winter ones and replace all interior and reverse lights with LEDs gives the car a classy look inside and out, Thanks Black Friday!
So Jersey got a taste of winter yesterday it took it's toll on many, but Emily had kept me safe driving home through the storm. I only have 4 weeks left with my baby before I go off to SOI / infantry training battalion for two months but hopefully before that I'll have swapped trunks for the STI and have my friends Cobb SF intake on my car and when I get back from training I'll treat myself to coil overs ?
Hey man love those wheels, Where did you end up finding the best deal on those? And did you have to roll any fenders with the Eibach springs you have one?
NLmotoring was the only website with most of the wheels and sizes in stock if not try amazon and my rear fenders are rolled but I plan to switch to coils in the spring and will most likely have to roll and pull the front too
