Congrats on the DD John, without a daily beater I would have never gone as far as I have with my car. In fact, it probably would have been sold long ago.
Now, lets see some pics!

OK guys... I spent over 2 hours fixing my journal pictures as most have not worked. All of them had HTML tags to resize the photos, so I had to download them, resize them, re-upload to my hosting, then change to the non HTML code. I did majority of the journal, so it will have to do!

Legacy pics tomorrow.... (Got the camera now!)

Nice John! I love the new intake. Did they bump power on the '08?

Nice color as well.

I wish I had one of those to drive every day!

Congrats!

Thanks! I believe they bumped the torque slightly. I have seen it listed as 173hp/170tq and also 170hp/170 tq. Either way, it's peppy, gets good gas mileage and takes regular pump. It'll do!

You should consider one if you can swing it, they are offering some crazy deals.

New stuff has been received....

Thanks to Adam@Z1auto for the parts!

Wolfplayer gets the sole blame for the purchase though!

A rare Group N shifter...

That is an interesting looking shifter, especially those shift linkage bushings bushings. I was just under my car fixing those 4 nasty shift linkage bushings. Be careful with your roll pin when you tap it in. My pin wouldn't come out with a 1/4" punch even with a help of a friend.

Small update/Rant... the S204 Interior trim that I have had for the past year, has decided to peel in many spots... Needless to say I am VERY irritated. I will have to purchase a new interior trim or revert to the OEM one. I doubt I will allow myself to purchase the S204 trim and have it peel again so beware of wasting ~$400!

The STi Limited's trim is a possibility as it does not look like it will peel the rubbery coating on it.

Why not wet sand it and repaint it?

I'm not sure it would work like that on the dash material.

I might have missed it, but what is the advantage to the Group N shifter? I put the holy shift set on my factory short throw and it had amazing differences.
