2007 OBP STI... Bought February 2007 and never looked back . I originally bought an 07' Mazdaspeed 3 to have some fun with...I started to get the mod bug (had it since I was a kid) and there were no parts available...I ordered many but nothing ever showed up so I went out and bought the STI...best and worst thing I have ever done . I enjoy it, as my wife says, too much.

Murdered out! looks good man!

[Jesse]

joe's car is the nicest subaru i have seen in real life.

luckily i get to see it often

[howboutthemapplz]

nice, time to pollute in someone else's journal.

murdered out FTW. looks clean... update with more pics, like my journal (tons of pics) lol

[RONIN]

I am not too sure of what is next on my modding agenda. I really need to think through my next few steps...I may just say scew it and go for the motor and rotated setup...But I also need to be realistic and realize this car is a toy and used predominately on the street. Maybe a 20g and larger injectors with my meth setup and a tune will do it for me...only time will tell.
