NICE ride there!

***MacSTi*** · 07-16-2008, 02:45 AM

Looking good Chris....can't wait

!

Chris05STi · 07-16-2008, 02:51 AM

Thanks guys. Actually its a ported out and modified throttle body. Here are the two I was talking about:

ProFlow Design:
Proflow Design

Grimmspeed's:
GrimmSpeed

On both I would get the optional coating. Check out both of them, but notice how the ProFlow doesn't have that black tube piece going in the middle of the throttle body butterfly. Let me know which one you like better.

Speaking of manifolds.....

Yah...something I will look into

***VSGTS14*** · 07-16-2008, 06:44 AM

the proflow looks way better than grimmspeeds.

Chris05STi · 07-16-2008, 11:30 AM

Yah thats what I am thinking. I will have to give them a call and see if there is any wait time for ordering it up.

Chris05STi · 07-16-2008, 03:33 PM

Got back from my vacation and this was in my room waiting!! My g/f helped out with the install. JDM MBP STi Hood Scoop, picked it up from a member on Nasioc for a great price. Installed it on my WRX, now she is starting to look more towards the look I want for her! Here are some pics as always:

pharo · 07-16-2008, 04:00 PM

your wrx looks great! I have this sickening feeling that your wrx will soon be faster than my sti hahah. Btw, where would one find a scoop like that. I am trying to tone down the sti, took the wing off, and wouldn't mind a smaller scoop. Keep it up!

Chris05STi · 07-16-2008, 04:51 PM

Pharo - HAHA, thanks man. Your car is plenty fast than the WRX....maybe. You could try getting a 2005 WRX hood scoop. I picked up this scoop from Nasioc under the Exterior For Sale Classifieds. I don't know of any other aftermarket companies that would make this or if the JDM STi (Bugeye) would fit your '05 STi. This one just gets so much more air than my stock WRX one ever did.

Chinky_Sti · 07-16-2008, 05:07 PM

hey chris, i like the design in the proflow over the grimmspeed..

Chris05STi · 07-16-2008, 05:09 PM

Dave - Yah I am leaning towards the ProFlow more. I think I may pull the trigger. Gonna give them a call tomorrow and see if there is any wait time.

JJ18Sniper · 07-16-2008, 05:57 PM

they look similar minus that plate...

Clarque · 07-16-2008, 06:37 PM

Chris05STi · 07-17-2008, 06:59 AM

Ryan - Yah I saw that and was like...wow...nevermind ahhaha!!

T3h_Clap · 07-17-2008, 07:01 AM

you still need the JDM one-piece grill

Chris05STi · 07-17-2008, 09:16 AM

^For the WRX? I want a pillarless grill, something stealthy without the logo in the middle...any suggestions? The front I was thinking V2 lip, paint match the side skirts then put both front and rear strakes on, then for the rear do the rear spats with the "SPT" Subaru diffusor, wingless trunk with a mines lip paint matched. NO?!

Then, I need to find a nice set of rims, not too much $$$, but black/gloss black with a red lip. Help me out Clap!!! Coilovers are going to be cheapies, BC or used Tein Flexes or something.

I finished wrapping the APS 70mm and finished putting on the Gold Heat Film Barrier stuff. Pics to come, it looks amazing!!! The I/C piping is going to look sick in the black engine bay.
