so i was at the dealership having something taken out of my gas tank to keep it from stalling out in the corners with a low tank. not sure exactly.
but it was free to have taken out. and if i didn't i would've been in danger of my catalytic converter being destroyed (apparently)


so AAAAAAnyway.....

i was walking around the lot, and i found my way up next to an 09 impreza. just the 2.5 not a wrx or anything. i'm not a big fan of the newer syling, but there was something eorse about this little car. first i noticed the seat fabric looked like old teddy bear remains.

then i noticed the plastic rims on the black steel wheels.......

what the crap?

then i noticed that the whel well wouldn't support much bigger of a wheel than on stock.

there weren't any wrxs or sti's there, so.... do the new wrx's look like that? has subaru made that big of a product turn around? i seriously thought the focus' looked like a higher wuality car.


i felt so ashamed....

An 06-07 Impreza WRX STI JDM CS Front Lip Kit to be exact.





it was sooooooooooooo easy to put on and it only cost me $75. not to mention its full 100% ABS plastic. !Thumbs Up

p.s - the Mach V lowering springs come in friday and will get put on either sunday or monday.

I know I'm not the only one out there with monthly payment woes... out of curiosity, how much does everybody owe on their car?

2007 WRX
As of 11/2009, I still owe: $11,838.70

At least I've reached the point where KBB says she's worth more than that and I won't need to use GAP insurance and I might actually make a few bucks back if anything catastrophic happens :rocks:

(and, for the record, I'm envious of everybody who replies $0)

So after some searching and emailing I decided on some new rims for the car. Enkei RPF-1s, 17x8 +45 offset. Thank you Discount Tire for the help and awesome service. They were quick, friendly and very helpful I will post up pics of them on the car when I get the time to do it. Unfortunately they wont get painted anytime soon, I dont have a garage and the weather isnt permitting me to paint them anytime soon.

So yesterday i left work on my lunch break to cruise down to CVS to get a redbull. I was in for seriously 5 minutes and i parked towards the back of the parking lot... I didnt have a car on either side of me...When i came out on my drivers side fender i see this hand-sized dent right on the body line(luckily its only on the fender, didnt hit the bumper)....even took the paint off.:mad: It had to have been a trucks bumper because it left no paint on my car. Def not something i can get pushed out. I am bull$hit. No note or anything...nobody saw a thing..I hate people.:hurl:

and ran a 14.027 @ 98.32MPH. gota say i had a blasty blast and saw some duurrrrdy cars. like a twin turbo transam with huge drag radials. when he got on it it went but when the turbos kicked in his car went side ways and he ended up in the other lane. it was pretty sick.

i just really want to break into the 13's. i guess ill just have to modd away to get that kinda time.

Ok, a few members have gauged some interest in showing some pride in the forum, and in doing so hoping to "recruit" some new members. I have been in touch with the site administrator, and a member willing to help out with this. Im not jumping the gun, but trying to gauge interest before others and I jump into this.

On a side note the stickers might be free (which is a plus). And seeing how far we go and how well this does we might try to add t-shirts or hoodies. But we have to start at a crawl before we go and walk or run with this.

So feedback, support, criticism is welcomed here. The more opinions/answers I get, and the sooner I get them, the sooner we can start on this. Thank you everyone.

So back when I was 16 my dad was nice enough to buy me a new 5.0 Mustang. I dumped all my extra money into it for 9 years, then I sold it for a huge loss about 7 years ago when I moved to Chicago. All the snow caused me to get into Subaru's.

Well, the other day I got the itch to track it down, and I found it in Ohio. It's only had about 10k miles more put on it since I sold it. The new owner added a 67mm turbo to my built motor, and a new trans, rear end, and supporting fuel mods. It made 530 rwhp two months ago.

So, should I buy it back? He suggested that it would take 15k to pry it from his hands. I sold it for 12 and he's added about 15k worth of mods.

Some of the mods are questionable. I'm not a fan of the billet accents and the taillights.

Hi, my name is Brandon and I'm an ebay addict.:(

I immediately started looking for an AP when I got my STi. Version 2's go for around $500 in the classified's on here and Nasioc, and about $450 on ebay.

Unless you search for Cobb Access port. Notice the space? Pure brilliance. I just got an unmarried V2 AP for $300. Awesome!

An 06 WRX has the same part number as 04-07 STi's on cobb's website, so I think I'm good. Anyone want to second me on that?

...my face hurt so much yesterday

Was searching around for car parts and happened to stumble upon this:COBB Tuning Surgeline I will probably be picking this up for one of two reasons: First off we all know that Im a HUGE Cobb fanatic. And secondly Im in need of a new BPV. My Perrin unit does not stay in the position I set it in which has led to a problem or two here and there (like the top actually coming completely off and me having no vaccuum). Just thought I would share.

Well about 3 months ago i got a $260 speeding ticket for doing 56 in a 30.:notgood: It was my wifes crowning moment to give me a "I told ya so!!" But anyway my friend is a local cop and knew the guy who gave me the ticket. I appealed it today in court. When i went in to see the judge the court officer told the judge he had no paperwork for me. The judge looked at me and said were gonna find you not responsible..Slow it down. Have a nice day. Needless to say i'm gonna have a buy few rounds for the officer who helped me out...i'm sure it wont be near $260:D

Ok, so not a real one. I decided to go check out the new "Hobby Lobby" down the street from my house and picked up this bad boy. Kinda did a sloppy job but i haven't made a model is quite a while.

so was Halloween so im chillin at a buddys playing some games drinking no big deal. Herd a truck pull up didnt think anything of it hear it leave no big deal. Next mourning go out to my car and someone kicked in my rear quarter panel. To the point were it might not be able to be straitend and filled. Im going to college for auto body so ik the extent of the damage. But i mean who does that the shop estimate was $800 if it could be filled if not around $1500 and my insurance might not even cover it. felt the need to vent

I was just wondering how many of you guys live around or in the Virginia Beach and Norfolk area? I'm stationed out here for a few years, and if any of you guys that live around here need help working on your car or anything i would be willing to help you out!
