grambo's 06' STI (Advans, Tomei, Chargespeed, and others...) - Page 2

Haha, that darn Lego took 5 hours to build. I couldn't see straight when I was done. My boy has MAD Lego skilz as long as it is Star Wars related. Hes a friggin fanatic. (So is pops, a little..lol) Hes moved up to a great toy called "Snap-Circuits" where he learns basic electrical skills too. Hes gonna be an Engineer and gearhead like dad and grampa! yay

I am so psyched to own such an astounding vehicle. It is really cool to learn a new car. The diamond-star 2.0 was getting old after 15 years of wrenching on them in some form or another. At least the guys here, at Iclub, and NORCAL Subies are cool and will help a willing enthusiast learn. I got bu**-rheemed at NASIOC too many times for my grammar skills and "stupid-idiot" questions, and don't ever mention ANY shenanigans on any public road, no matter how rural...geez.(Its funny when high-and-mighty Subaru guys act like the SRT-4 guys I used to deal with...)lol

Anyway, lovin the car, lovin the cool sites, lovin' the mods, thanks for the props guys. We all know they help!

BTW - tyler STI....PM me the low-down on your exhaust...is it crazy loud? A friend had two N1's on a catless-headered SRT and it would vibrate your retinas

More parts to sit on the bench are on the way! Garagespec Pm'd and my Beatrush pulley and radiator shrouds are a' comin' soon. Ordered a V-limited "style" lip from FastWRX.com. I went for the Fiberplastic one for $219 cuz driveways here killed the lip on my Neon when it was lowered. Hearing the sound of CF crunching makes baby Jesus cry....I want to avoid that.

Cannot wait for the lip/springs to be on th car..yay....after that who knows what...my list keeps growing.

grambo · 02-16-2007, 11:29 AM

Yay...Christmas again...

Added like a million HP....

More to come soon. Beatrush strut braces front and rear...

grambo · 03-05-2007, 09:51 AM

Ive got $1200 burning a hole in my pocket...

Should I go for more power and grab a COBB catted turbo back?
Should I do the semi-mature thing and get an extra set of wheels for the summer/winter tires?
Should I nickel and dime a bunch of cool parts...TiC, Carlab, Braille, etc?

I've been mulling it over all morning...

SonicBoom · 03-05-2007, 10:12 AM

Tbe all the way!

MadRussian · 03-05-2007, 10:24 AM

Turbo back exhaust, COBB AP and protune.
You will fall in love with your car all over again

Any pictures of that Leggo thing?

zero_visual · 03-05-2007, 11:40 AM

The car looks great.
You need more beatrush stuff.

grambo · 03-08-2007, 01:38 PM

I plan on doing all Beatrush topside on the suspension. F, R Tower Braces and the Trunk Bars. That funky gold color their products come in looks pretty cool against the CGM. Then maybe the underpan for the motor and the rear-end brace...we'll see. Work in progress you know?

grambo · 03-28-2007, 03:49 PM

Had some time to play today before work and added these little beauties from Forge Motorsports:
Header Tank:

Power Steering Tank:

Engine Bay as of 3/28/07:

*The PS tank was kinda a bit** to get the bottom (small) hose onto, other than that, high quality stuff.

PearlSTEye · 03-28-2007, 08:41 PM

Nice Ride!
Hi guys, I'm PearlSTEye - I Got the lovely 07 Special Ed STI #187, I'm still trying to figure out what to put on my plate for such a number, any ideas? (I'll post some pics once I figure this site out)

grambo · 03-29-2007, 06:21 AM

I think "187" is the police code for a shooting or officer down or something along those lines. I would avoid it.

Or just keep it simple like: 187 LMTD

grambo · 05-03-2007, 09:11 AM

Updated mod list in first post...

Skiing in April? Yup.

Crappy engine-bay pic of teh week...
