Exclamation East Bay STI's progress in the making

Updated on 10/30/2008 Page 5 Post Audio Installed/New Pics


Well I never got around to posting any info here or making a journal for that matter. I have taken the time to collect some pics of how the car looked before and how it looks now. Hope you all enjoy, feel free to leave any positive comments


Here are some pics when I first acquired my 04 WRB STi. I bought it back in December of 05, early Christmas present for myself

Blitz Nur Spec R, yeah Baby!

Got another present to fit next to the APR Rear Diffuser

Here is my 5th and hopefully Final exhaust. I picked up a good used Blitz Nur Spec R from so steezy on i-club.





I will be putting this on tomorrow after I do a video of the Borla, and I will do one of the Blitz as well.


These pics were taken by the original owner too Thanks So Steezy for the Blitz
