New 2006 Spotted! (New member)

Just wanted to swing by and say hello. New member here. I just picked up a 2006 Crystal Grey STI and have already had a bit of stuff done to it. TBE/ECUTEK, Springs/Cobb Sways, Gruppe-S Pod w/ EGT/Oil Press./Boost. I have been over and talked with the guys over at FLI and got referred to come to this site from an old friend of mine. I have had a bit of experience (sp) with some pretty fast cars before RSX w/Turbo, 350z with bolt ons/cams but wanna start getting some exp. with the AWD cars. I was thinking about going with a SZ55 w/ a fatboy wheel or the SR55 and i know some of you guys have alot of experience with those turbos and I wanna know how the stock block will hold up and how is the lag/spool time. Anyhow...thanx for the look....I pretty much spend alot of time on Message boards during the day when we are slow (I am a Finance manager for Lithia in Santa Rosa) so I hang around the boards quite a bit.....see ya guys around

Hah....So I had a pretty nasty RSX....she was driving down Santa Rosa Ave and got pulled over by the Polar Bear (all white) CHP car.....He saw the FMIC on the car and proceeded to go through the entire care with a fine toothed comb.....she popped the hood for him (DOH!!!!) and it was all over from there....numerous pictures of the car....2 other cops show up.....everyone knows my car now....I was basicly a marked man in their eyes.....1 week later I get a ticket in the mail saying how I cannot drive my car on the street until a State Ref goes through it.....well needless to say....I pulled everything off....Traded it in...and bought the 350....

Bad bad day.......oh well....Its not like she wrecked it or anything....but she used to drive that thing like a bat out of hell.....She took my 350 and did donuts in the middle to the petaluma Hill Rd/Washington St intersection about 2 months ago and still got let off the the Petaluma PD..she is a nut ......in a good way of course!
