^Nope....keeping her as well. Its sooo f'ing cheap to have on insurance, I will just keep it as a back up/work car. My insurance went from $172 a month to $232 a month, thats having me be on my own policy for the WRX and Camaro, and the STi on my rents!!

Update on my Journal:

Added page #'s to all the parts (for the most part) where it shows the pics of the parts and/or description. This will help people not have to read all the freaking pages if they are just looking for a part in particular....thought it will help!

Damn, why the long wait?!??!?! They are sweet rims, they will be for the street with 245/40/17 Falken RT-615 mounted to them. BBS rims will prob be used for the track with the same tire setup.

Update on the WRX:

Just picked her up, got the plates, new title and reg for it. After work I am going to snap pics. Tires need air, interior needs a cleaning, checking fuses to make sure all are good. I have a replacement coolant tank to put on thanks to Kiwi. Current one "seeps" a lil, not a problem to change. Needs a clamp on the intake to turbo inlet, and battery needs its tie down. Pics to follow!

^No problem...they are a good source for Falkens!

Here are the pics of the WRX. Tomorrow I start the massive interior cleaning!!!! I will try and work on the engine bay as well.












^As you can see, the paint really needs a cleaning. I will get at that next week after the holidays. Don't worry, that missing clamp on the CAI to the turbo inlet tube is replaced with a nice T-bolt clamp I had in my Craftsman chest.
