its seen better days, but its got a VF34, linkecu, exhuast, fmic, gold 18" wheels, and sway bars. and theres an sti suspension waiting to be put on. all for $10k!

its only my third car (I'm 20 and in college, the others were a 1989 Porsche 924S and an 89 MR2) and I love it. Its fast, but its running rich with a conservative tune, so its not as fast as it could be. I already wasted a ton of gas today just listening to that turbo and seeing how high the boost gauge can go! I should probably start saving up for a new clutch and trans though, they wont hold up long. Its got a lot of small issues...like the window won't roll all the way up (about a 2 cm gap), and I need to get the CV boot fixed, oh and theres no AC...that kinda sucks...but the price is right and its a fun ride.

let me know when you guys are having meets id love to come out and meet the others...everybody i see with wrxs always gives me a thumbs up, its cool.

Also, im looking for a wrb hood...anybody got one and want a carbon fiber one? And, i need to put on that sti setup...anyone wanna help me out?

if any of you guys surf, let me know and we should go sometime

 

DAMN! that sounds like a smokin hot deal... ill help you put the susp. on but im pretty far from you...

 

Awsome and welcome!

 

welcome aboard we meet almost every day of the week. you are in malibu? the closest one might be the friday night south bay.

 

welcome to the boards. that's a pretty sweet deal for all those mods. hopefully the previous owner didn't beat up on the car too much.

 

sweet. seller's huge lost and your greatest suby treasure.

 

err...well i know he tracked it, but lets just hope it lasts...it was too good a deal to pass up

STi 95imp: Id be willing to drive if you'd help me put it on...i have no tools and dont know too much either...the only exp. i have with cars is working at mosler awhile back...itd be a huge help

 

i can do wheels exhaust and rear sway bar for you.

 

thanks...theyre already on the car tho...the sti susp is the only thing i need on

he had an 04 STi, so i just asked him to throw those in the deal.

he gave me the strut mounts so they should fit right?

 

what year do you have? and for sure an 04 sti right?

 

mine's an 02...the springs/struts/top hats are off an 04 sti

 

i love my new car!


i can go through corners way faster than in my previous cars or my gf's TSX.
the acceleration is great, and im addicted to the sound of the turbo/BOV


i dont like the LAG! its really bad...i cant shift without the boost dropping all the way down and having to wait again. but, i love it when it finally hits.
i also hate the gearbox. specifically, i hate how i cant go into first unless im going 2mph, and how reverse can be a b*tch to get into.

but everything else, i love. I walk away from my car looking back every 2 seconds cuz i cant keep my eyes off it, and i just want to keep driving it!
