yea i hate the wheel gap. But until i can get some money for some struts/springs or coilovers im going to have that ugly wheel gap.

 

OKAY! as x mas gets closer...i've been having second thoughts on the sways and endlinks. At first I was stoked about them but the more I think about it, I may just not want to do auto x in the end so if i did put in all this money towards sways and endlinks, i feel like if i didnt like auto x i would be wasting them. SO instead here is my thought,

sti hood scoop painted $205
front lip unpainted 229.95 unpainted. How much would it cost to have this painted??
If not the lip then get just the rear sway bar (no endlinks)

A lot of this is just toying with the numbers and part through my head. So i thought i would leave this mess of a message here, and if anyone has an idea or combo etc. just let me know!

 

The car looks good bro. I'd definitely go with the springs.

 

I'm running the suspension setup you plan on. Let me suggest buying the rear heavy duty mounts for that sway when you buy the rear sway bar. The swifts are great springs but the lowering factor of them isn't great and if thats what you are looking for I'd suggest different springs. But the ride is great. Nice car

 

Thanks, still a work in progess (a slow progress that is)

I would be on these springs in a second if it weren't for the stock struts. Can't afford stock struts right now so I was looking at the sti hood scoop and maybe start doing the sway bar thing but not getting too crazy with it before i found out if i want to auto x or not.

 

OK well thought i would take the rest of the night off from studying and get some new thoughts and events down on paper.

Upcoming things for the car for xmas break (im in college)

Changing the green interior lights on the speedo etc. to red.
Sways
Sti hood scoop (always wanted one)
Second set of rims for auto x, painting them. (not sure which color)

For some events
Lots of cruises/spirited drives with my friends.

Next one is this Sat. on mine's road in the bay area. Never done it before so ill be sure to take pics. Going with two of my friends, both who drive evos so ill be the only suby.

Over the next three weeks just want to really learn more about the car and research a lot about auto x since im going to try it in feb.

 

My friends and I went for a cruise yesterday through mine's road in livermore. 50-something miles of just twists and turns, and not to mention some pretty cool landscape. Here are some pics we took.

Two of my friends' evos and another one of my friend's 06 wrx (pwn here on the forums)

 

My car


Pwn's 06 wrx.

 

After this shot, we took off and began the 50-something mile trip. Because the turns were a little too sharp here, we couldn't take some moving shots until after the next rest stop. Here are some pics from that rest stop.

 

 

 

After the trip, we ended up along I-5 so we stopped for lunch and then began the 45 min. trip back home. Just a few shots from the freeway. The freeway was empty so we got to take a few pics.

 

 

 

Thats it for now. Coming soon will be the painted side skirts and sway bar install. So ill take some pics for those too.
