Well I'm sitting here laid up after a pretty bad knee surgery (don't worry I have drugs) and I thought it would be nice to post up some pics of my car.
Some of the first pics:
One of the first road trips – got treated to some incredible motorcycle action. The wheelie was the simplest thing they actually did : )
With the winter wheels/tires:
What she looks like now:
Bosal twin tip:
My V1 remote mute button:
Gloss black paint by Wheel Collision on the stock BBS wheels:
New STi decals by rallydecals.com, the car also has 30% Johnson metallic tint:
Stuff that has been done to the car (updated as things are added):
-Knocklink installed
-Alpine CDA-9813 HU with KCA-420i Ipod interface
-MB QUART RCE 216 installed with spacers from IAperformance.com
-Subaru factory underseat subwoofer
-Hardwired V1 with remote mute button and remote display hidden behind stock factory clock location
-Red HVAC controls and ignition ring
-Bosal 3” twin-tip exhaust (removed)
-Black stock wheels painted by wheelcollision in bath, pa
-Bronze Rota SDRs (custom silver center caps w 225/45-17 Dunlop Wintersport M2s (now M3s) for the winter
-Mcguard lugs
-30% Metallic Johnson tint done by Auto Effects (the best IMO) in Monaca, PA
-2005 shift knob – looks so much nicer than the 04 IMO
-Baked/cleared headlights with sprayed turn signal bulbs(front and back)
-Homemade grounding kit
-Autospeed front STi plate cover and dead pedal
-AMS 5w30 year round
-Stoptech SS brake lines
-ATE super blue
-Defi Boost Gauge
-Defi Oil Temp Gauge
-Airbag module dyed black
-Blitz Nur Spec Touring exhaust
-SPT intake and heatshield (removed)
-SPT battery hold down and oil filler cap
-Black kartboy exhaust hangers
-Greddy Informeter
-STi V Limited front spoiler
The car has about 29k miles on it right now and I picked it up in 8/03 (6/03 build date). I drive it daily to and from work and also try to get out on the weekends when possible. Overall it has been extremely reliable with the only issue being the replacement of both rear struts for the infamous "strut clunk". I drive the car extremely hard at times and it performs flawlessly. I really couldn't be much happier with my purchase.
That's about all I can think of/write about at the moment. I just wanted to say how much I enjoy this site and overall* the maturity of the posters here. Discussions rarely degenerate into the web board flame fests that I have witnessed on quite a few other online communities.
