__________________________________________________ ___________________
Okay so I started out a few years back with a 2002 Nissan Sentra Spec-V. I loved it and It was alot of fun. Appearantly so did my insurance Co. and they broke it, and refused responsibility. Luckly I worked at Reedman Toll when they started selling subarus. I got the very last 2005 Crystal Gray Metallic wingless WRX. Optioned out exactly the way I like them, Bare bones. The only option I got was the Boost Gauge.

Here she is: August 05.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/scoooooobs007.jpg

First Mods were Tein S-Techs, Konig Verges 17x7, STi up pipe, and HKS downpipe.

September 05.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/drop003litesm.jpg

The wheels were used and in considerably bad shape (thats why you get for being a noob) so I got rid of them and ended up buying Wkderf's VIS STi carbon fiber hood. I loved it and would have kept it but, theives will be theives and it got ruined in the process, leaving me with just the scoop.

January 06.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/mycarnight.jpg

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/Picture004.jpg

One of my favorite Mods so far has been my Image Performance 3 inch catback exhaust.

January 06.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/petespic.jpg


I later on did what alot of Noob WRX owners do, went out and got myself a genuine STi decklid! Brilliant!

Possibly late Fuburary 06?
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/newhopanddinner015.jpg

This did not last very long and I soon traded up for a miscolored and crappy winged WRX decklid.

April-May 06.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/backinthesaddle001.jpg

I also managed to almost kill it.

April-may 06.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/accidentpics003.jpg

Now is when I start really likeing my car. JDMwagon Aka Wrxto350Z had a beautiful set of Rota Attacks 17x 7.5 that he sold to me. I also found a JDM STi intercooler and got a set of STi front splitters.

June-July 06.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/quickpix001.jpg

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/JDMTMICpix001.jpg

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/JDMTMICpix002.jpg

Sure enough, that dammed wing made yet another appearance.

July-August 06.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/MeandErikshoot003.jpg

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/Sponsormepics001.jpg

And then I traded to another Noob WRX owner and got an 06 wingless decklid.

September 06.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/keithside2.jpg

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/keithside3.jpg

So now, this is how she is. I have since then gotten a Perrin Rear Sway bar and Endlinks. and Goodyear Ultra Grip Ices for my stockers in the winter.

[Dave]

[subwrxkid]

No center caps are for ballers.

I guess you just ain't ready son.

[Buster]

[subwrxkid]

Gross looking rust spots is where it's at for 07'

and I got myself a Cobb Acessport and already loaded the STG.2 93 map, and i love it! But why does my car Rev to 7500 now?

[BluMeanie]

I think i may be interested in a LGT now. Possibly like this one. I really like the 3.0R also.

http://www.mcnproductions.com/lgt/exterior/lgt38.jpg

And the only reason he wants to ge this now is because I said thats what I wanna get. :mad: That one is def hott.

And damn right Im the best girlfriend!!

[Buster]

SPEC. B for the mutha fookin winzz

[dt98gsr]

Car looks great man. I also like the the way it looks now wingless and with the rota's.

I think I have seen your car at a Philly SCCA event before. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Your color is defintiely one of my favorites, and with the gold wheels it looks amazing.

Personally I like it better with the center caps.

Looks like your right on track to having a sweet WRX, keep it up!

[sisforsurfing]

I thought Stage 2 only raises the rev limit to 7250? I wouldn't rev the car to 7500 though, I'm uncomfortable revving my to redline as is.
Congrats on going Stage 2

[TROLL]

stage 2 doesnt raise the rev limit at all, afaik. hard redline on the car is 7250 from the factory...

[Buster]

I talked to Dan today and his car would hit 7500 also. I had Erik in the car last night just to see again and it did it. Im not going to keep doing it but it does. I always shift hard at 7k only when racing, It rarely breaks 5k during normal driving.

[IntegrasAreBest]

nice wrx.

[subwrxkid]

I can rev to 7,500 also.

[Buster]

well im hearing that my Ap shouldnt have done that, so im kinda curious to why.

[IntegrasAreBest]

haha i can rev to 8something, i think, but i have half the power you guys have.

[CHAOS]

keith... i say you hit up a pro... get some opinions from someone who may be able to really help you... like andy or jake at xotic :)

[Buster]

haha shameless plug john? Im having Homer street tune me on the Cobb tuner once i get it.

[CHAOS]

im not sponsored by them...so sorta but sorta not a plug haha... homer simpson? .... yea i think a tune will really help you out... whoever does it... better have wideband haha

[Buster]

His name is naSTi on the forum. Most guys from the meet know him. Im gonna take it easy until i get the street tuner. It runs great so im okay with it for now.

[CHAOS]

good luck man... that street tune should be great

[HuffRex]

haha i can rev to 8something, i think, but i have half the power you guys have.

I can rev to 8grand too hahaha :thumbup:

[Jourdan]

buster's perrin OBESSION?

[Buster]

Oh yeah, Troll, Even though fred re set my base map, im still revving to 7500. Any ideas now?

[CarbonIS]

haha shameless plug john? Im having Homer street tune me on the Cobb tuner once i get it.

+1 to that i'm having him do mine when i get it too

[Buster]

I hate winter wheels, i miss my rotas already

[Buster]

okay so I put my Rotas back on with almost new Potenza RE070s after my repaint, very psyched! Woke up to this WTF!!!!!!

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/snowwtf003.jpg

[BluMeanie]

I told you so!

[Buster]

i told you so :P

[Jourdan]

i totally woke up to it snowing hard. left immediately, went to wawa and after i had some fun doing a donut in egan's field...now my clutch is COMEPLETELY gone.

[Buster]

Picked up my V-Limited lip today and I repainted my worn out Rotas over the weekend. The darker rim is the pld color. I personally liked that better but I couldnt match it.

i forgot to bring my binoculars, could you maybe make the photos a little larger? :)

Fixed :)

[BluMeanie]

I hope your kidding about the lip...

[Buster]

why would I be kidding?

[CHAOS]

so is that a real one or fiberglass?

[Buster]

Its the replica, I got it for a friggin steal.

[CHAOS]

how much?

[Buster]

If I told i would be shot. keep in mind its a replica.

[jdm free]

looks good, the original color of the rims looked way better but it still looks sweet

[TROLL]

[Buster]

[subwrxkid]

I want the car.

[CarbonIS]

very sweet. i'm gonna have to get that after i'm lowered

[dt98gsr]

I liked the old color of the wheels, but the new shade isn't bad at all. And the new lip makes the front end look so hot.

keep up the good work!

[BlackTypeR]

Dude, your car is sick! I love the color of the wheels.

[TTsupra911]

[Gorilla Unit 33]

[Buster]

This was last year but its still the same.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/ScoobyKeith205/DSCN0268.jpg

[Honest_Bob]

Sweet winter mode! I love the stock 05 rims on cgm wrx's.

I'm not biased... I swear! :mrgreen:

[Buster]

I dont know what your sig is about but it makes me laugh alot. I like my stockers, it just sucks they are back so far in the wheel wells.

[subwrxkid]

You would laugh if you saw my winter mode. bahaha

[Honest_Bob]

The sig is ****ing great.

upon relooking at the pic it could be the roof of the van in the background but idk

[Buster]

that was my stock trunk, thats the top of a window

[Buster]

So um yeah if this weather doesnt cut it out soon, im putting everything back on. I just ordered my new STi side splitters a few days ago. They should be in soon.

[Buster]

Nope you know what, thats it. Wheels are back on today! :P to everyone.

[DoubleOughtCel]

Looks good. And I finally made it into someones sig! Yeah, Keith haha.

[sisforsurfing]

Do you run summer tires? In this weather they're gonna be bowling balls!! I'd stick with your winter mode until it warms up, I mean it still looks good.

[BluMeanie]

He has the stock tires from an STi on the Rotas. I already bitched at him to not put the car back to 'summer mode'. I think he has OCD or something.

[Honest_Bob]

:bigeek: Carefully man, dont want to see that beautifull CGM wrx get hurt. :(

[mr_eh]

as i was scrolling thru the mod changes i was with it until i saw the wing on, then i saw it came off and ... the car looks beautiful and lives happily ever after... nice whip... one of the few blob eyes i like

awww ****. Jazzy J!

[jspek]

bump for the white bread home boy!

[BluMeanie]

Bump cause Keith is better than Chaz!!!

[Buster]

So im thinking of doing a more subtle look. I want the same wheels susie has on her leggy and toss the lip and fogs for RS covers and space the rear wheels. I also think I want another wrx spoiler and an SPT exhaust or a Genome. I actually want to go as Stock accessory as possible this time.

[subwrxkid]

bump!

[Buster]

haha no need for a bump.

[Buster]

Yay! crappy roads ate my v limited lip! I got to susies house today and it was in 8 peices but still on the bumper. Figures the last snow storm would be the one to kill it. I had it off almost all winter until Sonic. Fortunately I have my STi splitters on so tight that nothing is gonna screw them up.

R.I.P to my V-Lim replica, nice having you around. :(

[subwrxkid]

You gotta get another one now!

[Buster]

Nah dude, im done with lips. it was a stupid idea in the first place. Besides how many people have them now, its not like its a hard thing to see. Ill figure something else out. At least now I can park in the driveway again.

[jspek]

yay for driveway parking!!!

[NOPSTNS]

just remember it could be worse, u could be me

[Buster]

Actually, im kinda glad. It kick started a plan that ive just been too big a pussy to man up for.

[Buster]

I know what everyones gonna say too, but seriously I like this so much better and its way less "look at me" Aside from they are much better wheels IMO. I'd take factory over anything.

[S4toSTI]

Keith you got in an accident?

[Buster]

No the ice ate my lip. im sad but am psyched about doing what I wanted finally.

[ToyotaTat]

i'm def. not going to recognize your car as easily, i personally liked the gold wheels better but it's your car! and sux about the lip

[Buster]

Thats what I want personally, i did the whole wanna be JDM thing. It didnt work out and I was never really happy with it. Clean ass sleeper is where its at. Besides theres nothing like getting yor ass kicked by the silver car with huge exhaust right?

[ToyotaTat]

i (would) get my ass kicked by every car i'd race, though i never have cause there's no point...but "the silver car with huge exhaust" makes you sound like a cop

[Buster]

no no they say it this way.

The small silver sedan with illegal acoustics.

[TROLL]

whats the reason for the wheel change?

[Buster]

Why not? I love these rims. I think that when im finished it will all be worth it.

[Honest_Bob]

Are those rims off the legacy?

[Buster]

yeah, tomorrow they are getting a set of Dunlop Direzzas. Chunkers too!

[NOPSTNS]

what set of coilovers u gonna use?


"Clean ass sleeper is where its at."
amen

[wrxman60]

u keeping your rota's?

[subwrxkid]

Dude.

[CarbonIS]

ehhh i really liked the gold rims keith! But i'm sure you know where you're going
with it, and it will be awesome nonetheless.

[the mike]

2 words for you:

WHEEL SPACERS

I like the wheels and all, but they need to sit out a little further in the wells.:)

Or you can throw some wagon fenders on there.:devil::mrgreen:

[Vypurr]

He has a thread trying to find some spacers or 5x100.

[Buster]

Rotas are sold already. I think im gonna wait on the spacer till after the tires are mounted. They look like they will fillout the rest. Im also waiting to get the Megan Racing Track coilovers.

[NOPSTNS]

megan racing, o yeah thats what u said, i must not have been listening....heh heh.

u got any specs on the coilovers? spring rate? methods of adjustability?




just wanna eye down my competition for the winding roads.....!!!

[CarbonIS]

Rotas are sold already. I think im gonna wait on the spacer till after the tires are mounted. They look like they will fillout the rest. Im also waiting to get the Megan Racing Track coilovers.

i'm so pissed they don't make the track editions for STIs. wtf is that all about?

[Buster]

New ****! My dad is fun.

[Sincere]

They are too small and you need to paint them copper or w/e that other color was. And space em. And make them bigger. Oh, and paint them.

[BluMeanie]

New ****! My dad is fun.

Only cause he talked us outta getting in a lot of trouble with the cops

They are too small and you need to paint them copper or w/e that other color was. And space em. And make them bigger. Oh, and paint them.

There will be NO painting of my stock wheels. Thats just crazy talk.

[the mike]

Wait wait wait wait....

Who has a Legacy now?

Drop looks good, wheels look TOO FAR IN.:mrgreen:

[GottalovetheWagon]

snooz face they are gonna end up being painted and you know it...im hopein for a lavender

[Vypurr]

I was hoping for more of a mauve color

[Buster]

No painting, maybe spacing thats it. I like these wheels the way they are.

[BluMeanie]

Ill be seriously pissed if they get painted.

[the mike]

Push 'em WAY out!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/themike/keith4v2.jpg

[subwrxkid]

Whatever makes you happy bro. I'm always going to support my man Keith.

[Sincere]

Much better the Mike

[Buster]

The tires I got are 255/50/16s so i wanna see how this looks first, I think a small spacer may work fine.

[95nracer]

The tires I got are 255/50/16s so i wanna see how this looks first, I think a small spacer may work fine.



:bigeek: How wide are the wheels?

[sisforsurfing]

The tires I got are 255/50/16s so i wanna see how this looks first, I think a small spacer may work fine.

How wide are the wheels, 6.5"? That's a lot of tire width for that size wheel, isn't it? Over an inch bigger tire than what I run on my stockers!

edit: ^he beat me.

[Buster]

They should be 6.5, you have me doubting it though.

[subwrxkid]

The tires I got are 255/50/16s so i wanna see how this looks first, I think a small spacer may work fine.

255 is way to big for those little rims bro. Think about it.

I don't even have 255's on 8.5" rims.

[AMF Racing]

i agree....should be a 7-9'' rim. try this link I use it a lot for figuring out tire/rim sizing

http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

[NOPSTNS]

what kind of tires r they?
i went from 225/45 to 255/40 and it filled the fneders a lot more than the stock ones did, goin a lot wider like that should help with the stance but......255's on 6.5????????????????????


i got 255/40s on my 8.5 widths and it was a total bitch to get em on bro....6.5 would worry me if i were u

[horhay]

I like the concept you're after, but I think you might be able to find a better wheel for that look.

[Buster]

haha holy****, im an asshole, i hit the wrong buttons. they are 225/50/16s haha my bad!

[sisforsurfing]

haha holy****, im an asshole, i hit the wrong buttons. they are 225/50/16s haha my bad!

ahahaha I was hoping it was a typo.
Sounds a lot better.

[BluMeanie]

ahahaha I was hoping it was a typo.
Sounds a lot better.

Um...it was late...??? Haha!


And stop rippin him up for the Legacy wheels! They do look really good. :-p

[AMF Racing]

Um...it was late...??? Haha!


And stop rippin him up for the Legacy wheels! They do look really good. :-p

i'll admit when i first saw them i was like WTF way to ruin your car asshole, lol. they have since grown on me and i like the look. 225's should look good man!

[Buster]

Okay so, screw spacers, with the 225s on it i just make it to the rear quarter like the rotas did. I guess the only way im gonna put some on is if these wheels dont clear 4 pots. If they dont its gonna be by just a little.

[CHAOS]

5mm spacers?

[Buster]

No, i dont think they need to be that big. you should see how the rear wheels sit.

[jspek]

im just here to spread some propaganda....
http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/2531/ist2209259japanesewarflhz3.jpg
youve been marked. fear me hahaha. im going to assassinate you first.

[AMF Racing]

pics or ban!

[Buster]

you'll see them tomorrow.

[TROLL]

just fyi, they wont clear 4 pots.

[Buster]

FYI we'll see about that, K thanx.

[PaleDSM]

Personally I liked the old look better but I do respect the time and dedication you have to this car. Keep it up.

[Buster]

Thanks, I did like the old setup better in a way, but everything was a knock off and I really didnt feel I was doing my car any real justice by putting cheap parts on it.

I've always liked sleepers, and to me thats where my car is. I would doubt that most people looking at it would know that its a 13.0 car. Besides this pulls the rest of the negative attention away.

[BluMeanie]

I like this set up better. I was never a huge fan of the Rotas. :bigeek:

[TROLL]

FYI we'll see about that, K thanx.
ok that was me helping you, and that was you being a smart ass in return. but its cool, rock some 10 or 20mm spacers, i'm sure they'll fit then.

[Buster]

hey whoa, that was me not being a smartass, that was me being enthusiastic about trying something else. Thanks for the negativity in my journal though.

[BluMeanie]

Woah, new avatar! Bored??

[S4toSTI]

I still like suzie's avatar better.

[BluMeanie]

Thats cause I have a sweet ass. And its with an S not a Z.

[Buster]

blah blah, try being an insomniac.

[Buster]

guy on Nasioc not talking about my car either --->I like everything about it. The white works look hot. +1 for doing something different then the regular V limited and rota combo!

[the mike]

I didn't like the car they were talking about.

[CarbonIS]

when i make a journal i want 230 replies to it too. Keith you better be on top of that.

[Buster]

Me vs. Ill-luzions' loaded down bolted and cammed EVO

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/prodigymb/th_MOV00418.jpg (http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/prodigymb/?action=view&current=MOV00418.flv)

I think if I would have stayed in it in third, It would have been better. Personally Im impressed with what my TDO4 can do. He did have a loaded car though.

[sisforsurfing]

ooo, nice launch.

not sure if you care if I post this or not, if you don't want people posting pics in here just tell me haha.

Glad this thing has bigger tires on it now :mrgreen:
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/sisforsurfing/BE_2007/keith_wrx.jpg

[Buster]

No way man, Cool pic. Im pretty in love with my car so Ill look at any pic anyones got. Post em if you got em!

[jspek]

that pic does your new set up justice.

[Buster]

yeah it does!

[whitezenki]

that pic does your new set up justice.

yeah it does!

true story, definitly prefer the new setup to the old

[Buster]

makes me smile, thanks guys!

[wrxman60]

true story, definitly prefer the new setup to the old

i dont, but hey very nice vid against the evo, u pulled hard in 1st

[02rex]

im lovin' the new setup, and nice vid! you kept up pretty well and took him bad off the launch.


oh and i found a couple pics of your whip while going through my photobucket album. they are from the fall drive, when i was still getting used to my wrx but i thought yours was sick so i took a group shot lol.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/CREW/DSCN0776.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/CREW/DSCN0775.jpg

[Buster]

Aw man, dont do that I miss those wheels already. :(

[02rex]

^^^haha im sorry, it did look sick though

[Buster]

Anyone know where theres a good VF39 sitting around? Im looking to go a litttle faster. And put my turbo up for a future project.

[subwrxkid]

Nasioc.

But I think you should buy Troll's 16g.

[Buster]

Yeah but I dont have an arm and a leg to give him for it. I dont want Nasioc though because I want to keep it a close as possible. if I cant find a close turbo I just wont buy one yet.

[BluMeanie]

Interesting. You are starting to sound like another memeber on here with not being able to make up your mind.

[subwrxkid]

nasioc has a tri-state area forum. :wink:

Dude, we can get it shipped, it's really not a big deal.

[Buster]

Interesting. You are starting to sound like another memeber on here with not being able to make up your mind.

You keep quiet, my turbo is going to be your turbo if this works out.

[subwrxkid]

Who's the member who can't make up their mind?
