A Little About Me
I am a Porsche guy at heart, with the family's 911s soon to be a project car. I am a firefighter/paramedic by trade. I have a wonderful wife (Cary) who puts up with my insanity and a daughter, Elliot Catherine, born 12/19/10.

2002 Nissan Maxima (traded, why I drive a Subaru, see my sig or linky)
2006 Toyota Tundra (tow vehicle and daily-driver)
2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi (current)
2008 Econo-Trailer open-deck trailer
Projects

Airbag Light Fix
How-To: Vibrant Performance Washer Fluid Bottle Install

How-To: Small Battery Mount

I am currently a licensed NASA Time Trialer, competing in TTB. I am also a NASA certified Instructor (Level 1).

I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to IAG Performance, Ken at WRXBrakes, and Clint/Tony from TiC. You guys have provided excellent service, advice, and parts for this project! Also a big THANK YOU to Justin Matthews who helped me refine this build.
I also want to give a big thanks to Vibrant Performance who has graciously provided me with a washer-fluid bottle to free-up some space for my brake duct install.
