Looks like you are gonna have some fun doing this swap to turbo power

Looks like that rally/bull bar took the brunt of the impact. Nice project.

How's the Subie community in Georgia? Is there a good following in your area?

 

No it's pretty dead around Columbus, GA but Atlanta is pretty well populated. They have WRXAtlanta as a good home base. I'm moving to Colorado Springs at the end of this month. I will be shipping my 99 RS and driving our 2009 FXT. I will miss my RS for that week or so that it's shipped.

 

Alright tomorrow I pick up more of the stock 06 WRX exhaust pipes. I'm getting everything from headers back. Also I may be using a TD05 instead of the TD04 since the piece that is broken costs $150 new and just don't need to spend that money to get a stock not so good turbo up and running. I can put the pictures up tomorrow of these parts, even though everyone already knows what stock exhausr pipes look like.

 

Sounds good, hope the move goes smoothly from Georgia to Colorado

-Gio

 

I hope so too. I hope the shipment of my car from GA to CO is a safe trip for it. I don't feel like going through the trouble of looking for another 98-01 RS coupe RBP or Black

 

Half way to Colorado at the boarder or Oklahoma. Made about 675 miles in 1 day. The total trip is about 1450 miles so we knocked a good chunk out today. I should get my impreza back on tuesday or wednesday. Then I see how much money is left to use for maint/upgrades for my car. Can't wait to get there and start the modding and continue the modding over the winter so it's ready for summer time. Alright time to get some sleep long day of driving tomorrow. I hope to get near Colorado's boarder by the end of tomorrow, later.

 

I totally forgot about this forum. Dang it's been so long.

 

car looks awsome

 

Car looks good, not feeling the rims or the spoiler though.

 

The wheels are Prodrive GC-06 (RAYS) 18x7.5

The spoiler is an RB5 carbon fiber replica.

I always liked the RB5 wing/anything Prodrive.

 

Dam, I need a new coat of WRB. Such a nice color!!

 

Omfg I just came. Great job man. Much envy.
