Nice update. Makes me wanna do the Home Depot lip. Looks sharp.

 

as of sep 7th, my car has stock exhaust on and newly installed 05 wrx front seats. pics of seats below

 

nice seats How come you went back to stock exhaust?

 

got tired of the look of that big exhaust.. i'm probably going to get a cobb catback sometime in the future

 

Why the stock steering wheel also?

 

needed the money..also looking to buy a jdm momo wrx wheel soon

 

how about an update james =)

 

the car looks gorgeous!! but tell me this.. I know this might be a stupid question but I see a Lot of people doing this swap. to this body style, has anyone done an STi (usdm)swap? or does it not fit? or too much to mess with ?

 

I am having a USDM swap done on the same car.

 

nice but you live in Japan correct?? which will yield Massive amounts of power due to NOT having the restrictions/crappy gas we have here ... good luck

Cant wait to see pics

 

Nah the swap is being done in Indiana. I just recently moved back here.

 

updateee..

so, the car is in stock mode right now(as far as the motor is concerned).. i'm awaiting the arrival of a bosal uppipe, after a long wait for an sti uppipe that never came i have a sard r2d2 bov waiting to be installed along with (hopefully) a maddad stealthback. i'm going to try and keep the car as stock looking as possible with just a couple knacks for me to enjoy while driving (hence the blow off valve).

i've been talking to a friend lately and he's been pushing the idea of getting me a complete standalone system for a VERY GOOD price.. so i might be saving up for an 18g soon

i've also been contemplating what to do with the front bumper! keep the stocker or swap out for a newer style rs bumper or go for the ver4 classic look.. what do you guys think?

 

i would say go for the classic v4 look.. but ONLY if money allows... otherwise stealthy (stock) is fine too

 

twas nice seeing you today

 

well. i recently acquired a credit card and am abusing the right to use it

Sometime next week, my car should sit as follows:

MadDad v2 Downpipe
MadDad 3" Whisper Catback
Bosal Uppipe
Sard R2D2 BOV
Cobb AP (ecu flashed for stage2)


I'm excited to say the least I'm also selling those cool 05 wrx seats i bought, so my stock RS seats are back in.. pics to come after all the new parts get in!
