Oh the Euphoria that I feel!!! Hey everybody Im not that new to the forum but this is my first official formal introduction. Glad to be here and I hope to have a wonderful experience on this forum. I got rid of the Sentra Spec V and hopped into a 2006 Subaru Impreza STi, in Crystal Gray Metallic on Saturday. The car was a Brand New left over with 7 miles on it, so I got it for well below Invoice and I saved a ton of money.

Here ya go fellas. Nothing special, just a nother stock STi. But its mine so its special to me.

enjoy.

Re: JZeezSTi, Updated 6-6-07

Well since I purchased the car about a month ago. I've gotten a few things done to it but nothing major. Im still gonna enjoy the car stock for a while and get used to it.

So anyway what ive done so far is...

JDM red hazard button (compliments of my man Caesar, Thanx alot bro)
35% Tints
Debadged
Venture Shield Clear Bra Deluxe Kit
Kenwood Excelon DDX-8019 w/ Nav and Ipod add-ons
KartBoy Shift lever(paired with OEM Short throw shifter)
KartBoy Pivot bushing
KartBoy Front and read Shifter Stay bushings.

Still to come (purchased but not installed yet.)
KB Tranny Crossmember Bushings.
TiC Klunk Killer Kit.

Over all i love the car. It is a bit sloppy in the Drivetrain but Im sure I'm on the right track to fix all that up. But damn this thing is Fun! I wish i had more money to buy some springs and Cobb AP. Cuz I would love to just Tune this thing stock and get some nice crisp power out of it but still sound stock. I went autoxing with it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and WOW!!! This thing is an animal... I mean I couldnt loose control of this thing now matter how hard i tried. even with some light tail happiness i still had it under control and in line with the next gate. Its like cheating! lol...

But i only placed 4th behind some fellows sporting some R-comps and more experience of course. I still have some getting used to and practice. that will all come with more seat time.

Well thats it for now. thanx for reading. and i will have some pics soon ive been to busy to detail her up and have a photo shoot. but very soon. i promise.

Re: JZeezSTi Updated 6-6-07 a few little mods and a review of the car.

Just installed my Rear Diff bushings, rear diff cross member bushings(outrigger), and my tranny cross member bushings (front and rear)...


Took it out for a spin and did a few launches... Kiss the Klunk good bye baby!! feels alot crisper on hard shifts and boosted rolling launches. i got the comfort kit so noise isnt that bad its only noticeable at high rpm and high speed above 90mph. definately a great mod. Kudos to TIC and KB. Thanx alot guys for the great write up. I printed out each right up and just went step by step on each install. spent about 4-5 hours doing all of it this afternoon.

WOOOT!!
