Your Car in 2007

So how did everyones' cars transform over the year? I'll start it off.

Got the automatic to manual tranny conversion done by LIC (for which I started acquiring parts for Dec. '06) and I finally got off of stock wheels! I was also given a CF trunk for free (which I hopefully will find a Syms replica wing for in '08) and I traded my STi wing for a WRX one. Few changes, but the tranny one was a big one

Oh, and finally didn't place last at a Rally-X

Well....my car went through a large transformation

From this:


To this....


Plans....
Apex'i Power FC going in soon as it arrives.
HKS Boost actuator
HKS Boost controller
Greddy Boost Gauge
Some odds and ends on the interior
New Tires (gonna hurt, running 245/40/18's in front and 265/35/18's out back...)

We'll see what else 2008 brings for this now 12 year old.
(engine, tranny and Diff rebuild on the plate...not sure if I'll do it though)
