East Bay STI's Transformed WRX STi 7/2/08 Pics
Here is the latest parts installed on my car:
Swift Springs and Alignment
Gruppe-S V2 Header Un-Equal Length
Crucial Up Pipe
Mods overall are:
JDM Rain Guards
Real V-Limited Lip
WRX Fog Light Covers / License Plate Holder now, Stock ones in sock drawer
WRX Trunk Lid and Wing
Volk Rays CE28N 17X8.5 +44 offset
Rays Black Lug Nuts
Falken Azenis RT-615 235/40R17
Subaru Short Shifter Kit
Apex-i Turbo Timer
Helix V1 Down Pipe
Cobb Accessport V1
Pioneer 9600 Premier Deck
Pioneer 12 CD Changer
Small Trunk Munkey hangs in rear window
Big Trunk Munkey is too evil so lives in the trunk
I called it Transformer because 6 weeks ago my car was stock looking and basically just rocking Stage 2. Now to the good part, pictures of my Transformer.











Here are some pics of the subframe which I removed this morning as well.


Hope you guys enjoy and leave me some feedback, I spent a lot of time and effort to get her clean and be able to show my car off a little bit

I would like to thank Darkonion in his efforts with lowering my car, also jagstyle for being my power guy. jagstyle installed my header and up pipe last night, also thanks to Orlando @ Auto Innovations as well for doing a nice job on my alignment and rear spring install

Thanks Kevin
Header is good, think I have a slight exhaust leak, I will get that taken of soon. I have a Tacoma so no biggie there for me, yes the WRX Trunk and Wing makes a big difference. I am looking to go wingless all together, but that is harder said then done.
In a way it does, but mine is still sexier then his
Car feels the same to me, still getting used to the springs though 
Thanks again guys for all your comments, I appreciate the feed back.

I already said car feels the same to me, I am still getting used to the springs, so the sub frame does not affect me. As of now, the springs made a huge difference as far as driving the car, and also in corners.

I have 1 more part coming that will put an end to a lot of my modding, but it will be a nice one, keeping it a surprise for now until I get it on the car
