Those pics are amazing, I remember you showing me. If you want me to send you bulbs for the indicator bulb (the yellowish one next to angel eye) I can send them over this way it will match the angel eye

Looks awesome though man

So haven;t really been active in any online communities at all beit my last year at FDU. So I figured I update this.

Added a new part to the list whoo, my Tanabe GF210 springs. They did wonders for me in Autocross, really stiffened up the ride, and rid alot of my weight transfer. Only complaint is everyday drive-ability is well, at times scary hitting some of the bumps.

I recently took a 35MM B&W photography class and my Final Project was a series called "Rex" once i get them scanned and digitally remastered ill put the most recent picks of the auto up.

Also, small update about recent service I had performed on my car (Full post can be found here)

Long story short, I have an 08 ECM mapping for my 06 wrx, full torque at 2800 RPM.

Good looking car. Did you install the angel eyes yourself? If so, how difficult was it?

Caesar from Welcome to LightWerkz.net did the Angel Eyes install. His craftmanship is top notch and I highly recommend him for your lighting needs.

So guess that pole i placed was kind of pointless i decided to go with the Invidia Catless DP and the Cobb heatsheld, coming on on tuesday. Anyone have any tips for instaling the DP, such as torqe specs if needed?

When i bought the car over the summer the preivous owner mustive already had a DP on it and didnt provide the stock heat shield.

So today I installed the Invidia DP and i got teh COBB heatshield, but i dont have the bolts, so gotta stop by local Flemington Subie to get 3 bolts.

BTW,

Doylestown PA Subaru is AWSOME, The King Of Parts Home Page great prices on alot of things, plus if your in the PA NJ area, the Subaru Dealer will do installs as well

I am a full advocate of KOP in Doylestown (Fred Beans Subaru). Tristan and Jeremy are buddies of mine and I definitely buy all my parts from them. Their customer service and knowledge are top quality. They'd do anything for you!

I drove 45 minutes to pick up some brake parts last weekend and Jeremy stuck around after closing for me because I hit some traffic. Not everyone would do that for a customer

Build is looking good dude!
