Default SonicBooost's Journal...Finally sold my car, ended up getting 30k

Well as sad as i am to say this it's true, i have to sell the STI. I am looking at buying my first house (i am 21) so its time to move on and i cant afford the STI and a house payment so.......here are all the pics since the day i bought it. I tried putting this in the classifieds section but it wouldnt let me. Anyways, if you know someone who wants a babied STI never Auto X'd or taken to the track at all this is it, 5500 miles, i also bought the 3 year maintence plan too that you get with the car, (free oil changes, 15 and 30k services are also free) I checked KBB and got like 30k for re-sale. I dunno what i want though exactly. Just need to sell.
Buyer gets everything that came with the car that i have changed (Intake,wheels,Tires,Springs)


The night i fell in love






New wheels/tires: 18" Enkei RZ-5 with TOYO T1-R's







20% tint all around





































close-up of the chrome blinker bulbs, kinda hard to see because of the sun






















I am honestly obsessed with this car, its crazy!!! Thanks to everyone for answering all the questions i had about everything i needed, you guys are great here and i dont plan on not posting here even though i wont have an STI.

That looks fantastic! Springs are such a nice change to the cars ride/handling and looks.

These springs are great!!!! The ride quality is a lot better than stock, I would Definitely recommend these to anyone wanting just springs for their STI. I am gonna send COBB some pics, maybe i can get on their website!!! LOL

Your car looks amazing, I liked it when you got it, but I like it a lot more now. The springs gave you a nice drop, I may look into them, even though they'll probably be the demise of my v-limited. Nice job on everything man.
