IWSTI Addict since: Oct 2007 | Just removed the intake silencer baffle, installed my Hella Supertones, and got the Kartboy and Lever bushing installed from my TiC Super Shift Set... Still have to do the front and rear stay bushings, just ran outta time.... The shifter is kinda a pain atm to row through the gears, but with time it should get better.... Pics soon **still need help w/ resizing the pics** |

IWSTI Addict since: Oct 2007 | Like i said above, i spent the majority of my saturday workin on the car. Did the DIY Intake silencer delete, installed the hella supertones, and got part of my TiC super shift set installed (just the shoft shifter and bushings). Ran outta time and hopefully ill get the front and rear stay bushings, and linkage bushings installed as soon as i get access to the lift again. Today i spent most of my day studying for a damn test tomorrow, doing some yardwork, and painting some dash pieces. I received the 3 HVAC control overlays from GraphicSTi, then painted the trim to match. Several coats of flat black Plasti-Dip later, this is what i have. I'll be respraying the trim around the shifter sometime soon, along w/ the vent rings, and probably the all 6 pillars (i think theres 6, 2 windshield, 2 between F and R doors, and 2 along rear glass) The pics dont do it justice unfortunately, the Red Hazard button REALLY looks good against all that black Quick shot of 1 horn along w/ the DIY center pillar delete TiC FTW Also a pic of the stuff that came out of the car I cant wait until i can throw the Bridgestones back on and spend some $$ on getting the car detailed REALLY well, or spend the time and money, learn how to do it myself, and detail the crap outta it. !!! I ALSO FINALLY GOT THE HAND WASH IT !!!!! I have been doing the touchless spray down all winter and its been leavin me unhappy. Saturday when i got home, i FINALLY got to hand wash it and use my Mr. Dry Auto-dry car wash... Personally, i like it, i have heard negative reviews, and yes, it does leave some minor soap residue, but you gotta get like an inch away from the paint, in direct sunlight, to see it. If you had 1 person scrubbing and another person rinsing, it would probably work 100% since it wouldnt give the soap to dry out on the paint.... those who have used the product, im sure you know what im talking about Last edited by Bishop; 03-17-2008 at 07:45 PM.. |

IWSTI Addict since: Jan 2007 | emissions exempt?!! you can legally run catless, is that what that means?! BTW nice ride. i love those shift boots!! i want them keep up the good work. BTW to resize pics, i use image shack. select file, select size, click upload, highlight the bottom link (direct link for image), and come to IWSTI and click the little picture up next to the font selections and paste the link in there...

IWSTI Addict since: Oct 2007 | Yeah lol, i guess i can legally run catless... for i think 4 years, not sure though. All new colorado vehicles are emissions exempt for that duration, then gotta conform to the emissions laws all the counties around here are slowly removing emissions laws... all except the one i live in.... there is talk that it should change soon then i can run catless with no worries i dunno if it will make it, lotta hippies in this county, not many wanna polute i dont think lol, but we shall see.... |

IWSTI Addict since: Jan 2007 | flames FTW. i will have to put my oem DP on in a year or two for e check. or in ohio you can fail miserably and spend $300 (parts) trying to repair, and if you fail again you can get a waiver. my buddy failed his 3000gt vr4 then bought new turbos for it, bought 2 evo 3 big 16g we are putting it together now, it will be a beast.. |

IWSTI Addict since: Oct 2007 | great minds think alike.... im itchin to spend more money here and there to knock out parts of the list, and i kept telling myself, hold off on the accessport and tune and exhaust till spring, when the snow leaves, ill do the power mods... blah blah blah, it basically got here ALOT faster than i thought lol.... so im in the market for a G200 atm, then decide on my downpipe.... i was thinking catted, to tone it down a tad and not shoot clouds of smoke.... but i have a catless invidia DP sitting in my shed next to my Bridgestones that came off my stg 2 WRX.... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..... anyway, ill prolly do a few more searches here and there, knock out some more DIY mods while i save for Tune and accessport, possibly downpipe.... then i think ill try to get the headlights to Lightwerkz.... the problem being i need a DD to cover the down time, or to get a set of headlights off someone here local till i get mine back... time flys..... lol i just realized that its almost done snowing for the season, AND i had forgotten about the downpipe sitting in the shed lol |
