If all works out, you will have company here in Santa Rosa. A white one. RST is going to a loving home on Sunday.

Well, I have had it now since Monday. White/Silver. Fun car so far. The RST still felt a bit faster even though I can't go over 4k right now. From the get go, the RST seems faster. I'd bet the top speed of the STi would rape the RST though. I can't wait to stomp on it when the break in is done with. Man it sucks driving her slow.

As far a tuning is concered... we will see. I already spent an arm and a leg at Shiv's for the RST. Does he deserve my business again? He'd better hook me up if I do go to him again. He already zapped me for close to 4k for the RST. We will see...

I called Vishnu and as of last week according to them some time next month they "should" have a stage kit for the STI price to be around $2200.00.
Apparently the people that think $2200 for an exhaust and a piggyback is outrageous are in the quiet minority.

While i do like the signature series turbo-back, i can't help but be underwhelmed.

What do you find underwhelming about 50 wheel horsepower?

I find that I can get that done with a lot less money.

A lot less? I'm intrigued. Please elaborate.

Custom built exhaust, e-manage, and fuel delivery. i'm looking at 1500. You're looking at 2200. But then again, I'm one of those handy people that can do things by themselves, I'm also one of those people who care enough about my cars to dig down deep into in and learn a bit about WHAT i'm doing and WHY I'm doing it instead of [exaggeration] hinging my life on what other people SAY my car will do.

Hey GTI337guy

Are you the guy I talked to in front of the Kragen in Benett Valley? I had to do a double take when I looked out the window. I thought I was seeing double. So far, I've seen a white one, silver (you ??) and possibly a blue one on the roads of SR.

$2200. is that with your standard TBE or the signature series TBE?

That would make three then. I talked to somebody at that Kregan with a winged silver/silver. He parked right next to my silver/silver. When I looked out the store's window I thought I was seeing double. Lary told me it was someone that owns/runs a little shop that does adhidsive style paint protectoin shop. I haven't seen a black one on the road yet. I saw a white one on 116 going twards Goat Rock yesterday. The white was my second choice. Did you do a trunklid swap with someone? Are you finding that your ride gets less reaction from others around you now that you're wingless.
