I think the only way we'll tell our cars apart is that your car doesn't have any dents. My trunk has a couple nice dents as well as my passenger door.

Nice ninja edit

I don't drive with sandals, but I wore them all weekend through the installs. Easier to slip off when I need to run into the house

Indian wearing sandals...yadontsay

My car's got a couple battle scars. Like that one ding in my passenger side rear door from the asswoman at Subway opening her door into my car

My front end is quite pitted compared to the last time I did a full polish and wax. I thought some of them were bugs, but nope, they were tiny gouges into the plastic up front

I'm glad you finally got the whore debadged it looks much cleaner, I still say take off the WRX badge though. Hopefully I'll make it up there soon so I can hear the TBE. I managed to get my car back together over the weekend. I didn't get any fancy ass pictures like you though.

**nandanrp** · 05-08-2006, 07:34 PM

^^^Wow, nice work, you managed to pull a whole engine in the time it took me to do the TBE, gauges, wheels and detailing

I'm guessing you're making the long ass drive back to ATL right now. At least you'll get to enjoy the RS.

I put 1010 miles on the STi in 5 days

I'm loving the exhaust sound. Loud enough on WOT to make me happy, and no drone on the highway...just a deeper tone than stock. So far, my fuel economy is roughly the same as stage 1 - 22 mpg highway. I used to get 25 stock though

Stage two torque is pretty damn nice from what I've felt so far. It pushes me into my seat, which is something I haven't felt in the STi in a long while. 2nd gear kind of surprised me tonight leaving an I-Pass (EZ-pass) toll lane

Lag is reduced too, it seems.

I did a few Record/playbacks on the Defis, and I played back the boost readings up to high triple digit speeds

One 4-5-6 pull held boost at about 17 tapering to 16ish at redline in 4th, 18 tapering to 16 in 5th, and about the same for 6th, if I recall correctly. I can still induce a spike now and then, but I haven't had creep (yet). Hopefully it stays that way.

If this car had some better seats it'd be an even more enjoyable highway ride. I think some springs to take out the bobble head, and some nice seats would do the trick

My gold wheels are a nice shade of bronze now, the brakedust has already got the edges black
