2008 WRX Sedan from Modesto

Hey everyone,

I purchased my 2008 Impreza WRX Sedan back in November/2011 and just now stumbled upon this site. So far the car is stock with the exception of:

SPT Catback Exhaust
Perrin Drop in filter
6000K H.I.D for the projectors
Painted Rims Gunmetal
Painted Calipers Red
2011 WRX Longblock (Spun Cyl. 2 bearing w/ only 18K on clock)

I plan on modding the heck out of the Subie with the following:

H&R Street coilovers
XXR 521 18"
Yokohama Prada G Spec
2011 WRX STI Wing
Carbon Fiber Hood/Trunk
Flat Black Vinyl wrap roof
5% Tint back windows, 35% front (Damn California Laws!)
4-point cage

But I am still waiting for my money tree to grow!

Here is some pics from when I bought her:

Cool car and welcome, what a Perrin stage 2 tune? know what your doing before you slap parts on the car, you have no need for a front mount IC On a stock turbo the blow off valve a aka blow your engine valve. Get a pro tune on a Cobb ap or an opensource tune from eq tuning.

Happy modding

And running 18x10 with 225's is gonna kill someone, the correct size tire for a wheel that wide would be a 265 WITH extreme amounts of fender and suspension work
