[VSGTS14]

I'm the third owner of this STi now. It started it's journey with Al (RacerXS) and was in the hands of XX Tuning. Al sold the car to Cicio on here and had Topspeed do the tuning. Now, the car is in my posession and all tuning/work will be handled by me and EFI Logics.

The car is back from EFI Logics and is currently being broken in.

she'll be staying in the shop until i get the wire for the accessport, fill the meth, and fix the exhaust leak.
hopefully the downtime is short!

edit: ordered this stuff so far to change the looks

new fog light covers
rally pigs for the mirrors
new front grille with a blue I badge (probably make the blue a black color).

going to rip off the sti logo on the carbon fiber lip too, there's way too many in the front and there's going to be more lol.

Good luck with the car, I hope to see it run 10's because this car is flat out fast, even faster probably then when Al had it.

Congrats.
