I bought this car in July 06 after selling this 240sx




here's how the STi looked when I first got it


The first thing I did was add an Invidia dp and JIC 505sus exhaust


I also added some mudflaps (ordered from scoobyworld)


The car with winter wheels on (these wheels are now on my Dad's FXT)


some snow pics




Lowered on BC Racing BR coilovers



new rims - OZ Racing Crono HT's







mod list
Invidia catless dp
JIC 505sus catback
Innovative LC-1 wideband
Open ecu stage2
BC Racing BR coilovers
OZ Crono HT 17x8 +48
scoobyworld mudflaps

not sure what's next, something expensive probably

very nice...love the stance of the coilovers. Hope they perform as well as they look. I think a nice, light tint would completely change the look of the car.

You do your own tuning? Open ECU? Props.

no I don't do my own tuning lol . i've done some reading and research on it, but really haven't done much. i'm running a base map that i datalogged (i got the wideband in anticipation of doing actual tuning and to make sure the base map was ok on my car). i verified that it wasn't going to blow my engine up and haven't done anything with it since (now that the weather is warmer i may have it tuned additionally. haven't been terribly motivated since i rarely drive.)

i'm looking at getting some tint later on - maybe 30-40% range
