My sti upipe had a cracked heatshield thats been rattling and buggin the hell out of me the past couple of weeks. Already pulled it once and welded it. It cracked again in a different spot so I said screw it and decided to swap it out for a AMR heat coated upipe. Since I was in there anyways decided to swap to a catless grimmspeed coated downpipe also to try to free up some power. Going to get retuned next week with the new upipe, catless downpipe, carbon fiber driveshaft and 3inch exhaust to see what I can pick over my existing numbers. Swapped over to Amsoil synthetic oil today also.

Also race ramp wheel cribs = my best purchase in a long time. They work so nice with my floor roller.

Used Meguar's PlastX. Not specifically made for this, but it worked well. It is very mild. That only took about 2 applications and 15 minutes per light.

Jr. needs something a little less...speedy. He thinks he knows how to drive because he rides with me, but I still need to really show him the fine details.

lol Drives: always said wagon. Hmm....need to do my very own wagon shoot haha.

Reply in the Newark/Fremont Saturday Forester Meet thread. Maybe Mike will make it and bring his camera if he has free time?

As for me, tried out some of the "Risk Free" car polish we have at work to take down some of the scratches my ring finger caused to my doors and door cards. Then tried to also remove the granite scratches from all over the car from last week's camping trip.

I helped Osirissk8rguy change out his stock springs for STI springs. Gave his care a great stance and rode great.

Extremely cool guy to shoot the stuff and enjoy a beer with
