I could get a second car, but Id still be dealing with the same **** anytime I wanted to drive my subie. The thing I love so much about my car, is driving it and modding it. I know its a badass car stock, but Ive modded every vehicle I've ever owned and my subie has been my favorite by far. Ive also being pulled over as much now, then when I was 18 with a ****ing honda. So I guess Im giving in. I guess Im being a coward. I guess Im gonna sell my car and get a car that doesnt command so much attention. This sucks more then I could ever imagine.

What under hood mods do you have?

for a while Hondas were like this. Nobody viewed them as a performance car. Things caught on and so did the law. The aftermarket started making legal stuff.

When I got my STi I couldn't beleive the stuff you guys were getting away with. It was lawless. We either need more stealth mods or CARB approved mods.

I dont think you can get more stealth then the common VF upgrade/injectors/pump/reflash then we already have

I've made the decision to get rid of my car. I love my car, I love driving it, I love modding it, I love hanging out at DB with Paul, and talking to everyone on I-club, but I just dont think that I should have so much contact with law enforcement when I'm just driving home from work or going to get something to eat. I know there are a lot of people on the boards that drive around all the time and dont deal with this ****, but the thing is, I do. I'm not driving around like a jackass, not speeding, not being a young idiot, because of the simple reason, that its not the type of attention I want. But I am driving my car to work, or to meet clients, or to go hang out from time to time, and as I'm putting along, I get pulled over. So, this decision is a hard one, and not one that I would like to make, but its done. I dont know if I should sell it with all the **** I have on it or put it back to stock, but I'm just fed up and I cant deal with it anymore. I have a lot of new parts, over at DB that I havent even gotten put on yet, and frankly, I dont know where to start. This sucks, but I'm done.
trade it in for a specB, legacy stealthiness FTW.

ive taken left turns at the posted speed (40-45) at intersections and realized a cop was behind me, only to have him completely ignore me and go tail some civic. i even have the DBtuned stickers on my car and melon cannons out the back... no attention whatsoever.

i love it. besides, specB has underrated hp (closer to 270 than 240) at the crank. the LGT with AP, swaybars, and new tires is totally different machine.

Seconded (or 4thted).

Looking like a camry FTW! Sure, you can make it look like a cop magnet too, but subtle mods still look less conspicious then even a stock STi.

[QUOTE=Double Phister]What under hood mods do you have?QUOTE]

I've got a downpipe and exhaust and an arc front mount which I was going to swap out to a perrin front mount that was all black with black piping when Paul put my new turbo in, but even though that maybe "stealth"-I think I'm still going to run into problems, just due to the fact that right now, Im getting pulled over for having an exhaust.
