Just to get it out of the way...here is my beloved former Bug-Eye named "Bang1":



^^^Greatest car I've ever owned. Sold it to start saving money...got a 2002 Civic Si (only good thing about it was the MPG and the awesome steering response). For more info about "Bang1" go here - https://www.i-club.com/forums/ongoing-projects-31/my-new-direction-77458/

In June of 2007, my life situation has changed. I make more money, am in a better overall financial situation and am a happily married man with 2 dogs and 2 cats. The time had come to come back to the greatest line of cars I have ever driven but with a new twist.

Late in the month of June, I found my new WRX an '04 Java Black Wagon named "Bang2":

P.S. This is a great help being able to put plans to paper!

 

congrats on the acquisition...

 

Heading to the right direction I say.

 

Think the last year the dog gate was made for was the 01s, I don't know if it will work with the 02+, subarugenuineparts says jack on their website. I've looked but never found another one. Let me know if you figure something out, We need one too!

 

wow... i'm 3k+ miles away and still get props.

 

you should make another subaru commercial here in hawaii but with your new ride!!! Funny thing though, I dont see it on tv no more!!

 

Its probably because SOH decided:

A. This guy is too ugly to pimp our cars.
B. That is a bug-eye he is bending over...we don't sell those anymore.
C. We need to get a hot chick to be our spokemodel instead.

 

Technically, you are the one I call the most when I break stuff.

 

BTW...I love my Borla XR1 exhaust...after driving with it for a couple weeks I can now say it is the best one I've heard. Only other close one is the Espelir JGT 500.

 

Update:

Installs done on UP, DP, IC Hoses and Heat Shield. Word.

Next up will be more suspension stuf***e and then saving for rims and AP.

 

moving right along...you shoulda change your username to bpang2 haha

 

^^^But then I lose my VIPness. I postwhored a lot to get it!

 

Update: Suspension and Handling stuff almost complete.

Will get rims and summer tires in the spring. Undecided on Coilovers, Springs or Shocks...will consult the local suspension gurus.

It's a daily driver so most of the hardcore stuff would be too hard for me.

 

"bang2" is now tuned to Stage 2...word.

 

Brakes upgraded plus new rims...pictures soon.
