careercadaver's thread...my 01 RS

Searched for a few months before finding my RS Sedan. It's been well taken care of and all service was performed by Subaru. Previously unmolested.

Picked up a few aesthetic and mild performance additions while I research a swap. Hoping to have a little more direction by spring but here's what I've done thus far.


-COBB CAI
-CNT Catback
-Bakemono Mesh Fog Light Covers
-Rally Pig Shift ****
-WRX Limited Leather (F&R)
-Rota SDR's 17X7 +48 (track wheels)

I've been painting a few pieces on the car to match body color and I'm picking up an interior on Friday. WRX Limited!

Hoping to put an Alpine headunit in the vehicle asap as well as some Focal components and a JL 12W6V2 I have laying around from my last vehicle. Tints are also in the near future, still deciding on what %.

Here's the painted pieces in the front bumper. Side skirts should be on and I'll snap some more pics.

^^Distance would likely be an issue. You cam PM me details if you like, I'll entertain at least that!

Friday cant come soon enough for the seats. In the meantime I mounted my sideskirts. I think it really cleans up the look of the car! Decided to paint the weatherstripping on top of the skirt at last minute but it was worth the wait.

^^Thank you sir! I would recommend this product! NAPA carries it, it's about $8 a can but dried in minutes with minimal sanding and great overall results.

Installed my WRX Limited sests and carpet last night and this morning. I still need to vacum but I snapped a few pics of the progress. And I know the floor mats look really bad but I cant justify replacing them going into winter. I'll be picking up a HU very soon, just deciding if I want single din or DD. Missing my Alpine IVA-W505...

Forgot to mention the 04 STI shift ****. Really feeling the need for a Headunit and some tint. We'll see what I get to before it snows, I have lowering springs coming as well and I might paint my stockers before throwing new tires I bought on.

Installed Espelir Springs, they were a little lower than I thought they would be but I'm not arguing. I'm cambered out a bit in the rear but I'll get it aligned in a day or two. Tein hood dampers made it on as well.

Picked up 20% tints as well today...

Installed an Alpine Headunit Last night. IDA-X200, nothing special but it was a lot lighter (2lbs.) than the old stereo. Looking into a place to mount the ipod and iphone. Not really into the vent clip type of set-up, thinking more custom...

Winter Tires made it on today. General Altimax HP's very grippy, having trouble sliding it out compared to the Bridgestones with 40% tread that I replaced for the season.

Bought an STI CF GC8 CF Front Strut Bar off a member on RS25.com. Test Fitted and decided to paint a few things under the hood...in 23 degree weather...I have issues. Gonna order a Cobb sticker for the intake but I think it cleaned things up a bit.
