yup, ballz cold lol. had a couple frosts now too. the leaves have changed and unfortunately i didnt get a chance to take pics for you guys cause it looks amazing when you come over a big hill and see miles of fire-orange trees. maybe ill get a chance to send you guys some of me in my igloo this winter tho lol. anyway, hopefully it stays nice for a couple more weeks so i can finish my mystery project without freezing to death....

its an 07 so its mostly a direct swap. just need the auto driveshaft and stubs for the front axles but i'm actually getting male axles shipped to me so its even easier. gonna go with a new sti clutch and flywheel tho, my stocker has been feelin the pain of 280 to the wheels.

they are newer model male wrx axles, not sti axles (mid 04 and newer wrx axles were switched to a male design) and will bolt right up in place of my existing axles. that way i dont have to mess with putting in stubs and changing seals. I am getting them free as a trade for my axles from the vendor who is supplying my parts
