My white '05 WRX wagon

Well, my sonic yellow WRX has been traded in to a local Subaru dealership and in its place is a new '05 WRX wagon. Got her with 16 miles and put up to 182 so far (after one day).

Purchase date: 7/9/05
Options: Auto-dimming mirror with homelink, armrest extension, crossbar kit with stabilizers.

The supertones off my sedan are already installed. It took about 10 minutes of me being home before I put them in.



I debadged the car and pulled all the misc. stickers off the windows/rails and I pulled this big nasty yellow one off the dash inside:





Two pics of me driving the car. Both taken as I was driving from the dealer to a friends





Coilovers installed



Rear shot:



Check out that sexy ***:



July 17, 2005, Mt. Hamilton:



July 31, 2005:





Power numbers:

8/24/05:

184whp @ 5500 RPM
187wtq @ 4500 RPM

1/21/06:

So I had my car dynoed and it was putting down about 176hp so I had a retune done. Torque comes on early and smoother and the power is about the same as it was originally. Redynoed today after a week and the power is holding pretty good



Current Mods:

Performance type stuff:
  1. AccessPORT (8/24/05)
  2. Perrin Up-pipe (8/24/05)
  3. GReddy Rear Strut Tower Bar (1/14/06)
  4. USDM STI Wagon Pink springs (1/16/06)
  5. Cusco 20-22mm adjustable rear sway bar
  6. Helix rear endlinks
  7. 17" Royal Sports Bronze Rota Grids

Appearance/functional stuff:
  1. Tint - 32% front, 13% rear
  2. Subaru (yakima) racks w/ fairing

Future planned:
  1. Some kind of TBE - probably COBB
  2. New endlinks. Either Perrin or Whiteline, not yet sure.

Old Mods:
  1. 17" Steel Grey Rota Tarmac IIs
  2. Ground control coil overs with v7 STi struts. (off 12/23/05)
