trust me dude, i have read that, and i know how easy it is a friend of mine is a powder coater, and actually does all the powder coating for where i work. Somewhat soon ill talk to him and see what it might cost to the get the wheels coated flat black.... if i can get some loaner wheels, ill dismount the tires and do the wheels right myself.... i know theres so many things i can do right now.... but with this being my only form of transportation, i cant afford any down time

Has anyone heard much about the BPM exhausts? I watched a few vids but im headed out, leave some feedback if you have it... how loud it might be, etc.... pros cons etc... thanks guys, ill be back

Car looks nice man. Should look cool with powdercoated rims. Know what you mean about having to keep it driving though. Sometimes you can find some great deals on stockers if that interests you at all. I picked up a set with no rash for $425 which allowed paint at my leisure and have a set for winter and summer. Better than constantly pulling tires off and on the rim

Like howboutthemapplz said you definitely want some EM before that exhaust. At first I thought you had it but I guess its a wish list in the first post.

Good luck with the car.

yeah its a wish list atm. But im going with the accessport and getting it tuned locally for stage 2. im on the prowl for a g200 and i have a catless invidia DP in my shed that came off my stage 2 wrx.... just debating whether or not i wanna go catless again. I'm also now considering the BPM GT TBE if i can get any feedback on it... watched some vids and it looked good, and the seperated IWG that dumps back into the DP way far down is intriguing too.


It also allows the user to control the mounting options, eliminating the need to trim body pieces or the diffuser if it doesnt line up

i think this is the catless version, but im not 100% w/ that heatshield at the bottom of the DP.... the website doesnt specify whether its the catted or catless version shown in the photo

Ahhhh boulder. I need to get back there. I moved away about 1.5 years ago, and that was probably one of the worst decisions in my life. Nice whip. I will meet up with you in a couple years maybe when i get back there.

[Bishop]

Sounds good theres a few of us here from what i have seen, so just keep in touch. Also, still looking for feedback on a BPM TBE

To go along w/ the tinted windows, i just got back from having my tint guy do my tails along w/ the 3rd brake light.
Looks like i need to wash it again got the *** end dirty while applying the tint... oh well, maybe thursday if the weather holds, i can wash it, respray some interior pieces, and get to the pillars as well....

Really really really really bored... and ANXIOUS! I have been PMing 3 or 4 people, inquiring about a lil somethin..... the 1 guy i have been waiting to say yes, send me money blah blah blah, checks his PMs like 1 time a day, then goes to sleep, so the process is DEAD slow and its kinda obnoxious.... got to wash the car again yesterday, but w/ low water pressure the finish is bleh.... tomorrow the high pressure is getting turned back on for the sprinklers, and im getting the stock bridgestones slapped back on.... gonna wash it again tomorrow, clean tires wheels, interior, armorall the trim and such, i'll do what i can.... after i get stg 2 and such taken care of, prolly gonna pick up a bunch of detailing stuff... gotta learn how to do it though, never waxed, polished, clayed, anything like that before on any vehicle... simple was and dry is all i been capable of....basically just REALLY bored... oh and my buddy called and woke me up, i passed out in the chair and its only like 6:45.....

[Bishop]

Bump.
waiting on a confirmation PM before i send anyone my cash. Got to was the car yesterday, washed really well, spent a good amount of time making the wheels good as new, etc.... just got the stocker bridgestones put back on....
Well BAM, rains that night and now instead of rain expected for tomorrow, were looking at snow.... go figure

I'm currently debating getting a credit card for mods.... and if i do, the turbo is coming alot sooner than expected....
My Problem: Its kinda a pain (for me) surprisingly, to locate some real in depth info on what it will take to do a GT3076 turbo etc.... what company, what supporting mods, expected numbers... what i should expect to break and need replacing.... i changed my mind from the Full-Race because alot of people were saying its taking 2+ months to get the product even after you have sent payment.... If anyone with a GT30 can chime in, or point me in the right direction, i would love it.....

Also managed to repaint part of my dash so it all looks the same now (YAY!), as well as jack some red nail polish from my sister and fill in the STI logo in the Silver shifter trim.. pics to come
Still having trouble pulling out the vent rings, and getting the A, B, and C pillars down to paint them as well

[Bishop]

SCORE! Got my A Pillars off and are mid-paint.... also heard back from, and sent paypal to, the member on here w/ a lil somethin for me.... God damn snow tomorrow will be a fun drive to work....
Hopefully the tax return will be here soon... I havent quite realized how quickly things are happening, but all i need is an accessport that i was going to buy at time of tune... so..... just waiting for tax return and some nice weather... i have enough stashed away for a tune, but wanna let uncle sam pay for it.... Expect a tune date soon... also gotta get some heat wrap and spray to do my downpipe.... hmmmmm, im happy and cant think straight....

+1 on a step toward a new turbo... might be gettin in on TiC / PL motorsports big power GB if and when it happens.... (hopefully)
