HighOctane's 2005 Sti - New pictures!

[HighOctane]

Hello, I am new here to the forums and to the tri-state area. I am originally from California and moved out here recently for dental school at UPENN.

Previous Cars:2001 Celica GT. First car. Slow straight, fast corners. Mostly suspension. (Picture is pre-suspension, hence the enormous gap)

2002 Lexus GS300. Second car during college. Decided to try out the luxury route, found out it was really expensive. Didn't do anything major to this car, just springs/shocks, exhaust, stereo.

2005 Sti. Bought the car used in October 2007. Originally came with TurboXS turbo back exhaust with race pipe, intake, RFL-bov, and Utec. Since I drive mostly in the city I couldn't really deal with all the noise, so I bolted on a stock Sti muffler and took off the RFL and installed the stock. And now I am slowly adding my own modifications:

2005 PSM Sti
Turbo XS Stealth Back with Race Pipe
Turbo XS UTEC
Turbo XS Intake
Rota Formula Mesh 18x8
JDM Pink springs
Group-N Tophats
JDM Sport Muffler (to be installed)
Defi Amber Boost Gauge
S203 style CF lip
APR CF Diffuser
35% 3M tint
Wingless

Yeah, I haven't done too much, and I plan to keep it pretty mild. But this is a great stress vent from school and patients.

Here is a crappy camera phone picture when I got it. I will add pictures once the springs are in because the gap is embarrasing.

Updated pictures, thanks to Ray and Ron for the spring/diffuser install.

[BillFromTR]

05 is the best year hands down!

[C'DALERIDER]

Pictures dont do it justice. Its a very clean STI! Now debadged, full cf diffuser, pink springs..etc. Realy looks good! Now simply get injectors, FP, fmic and 20g w/tune and be done :devil:

[HighOctane]

Haha, nice picture! I don't know what to do next to the car, I think I am done with the exterior, but power wise I have a long ways to go.

[Buster]

Hey I just saw this car for real! Looked real good man, it was nice meeting you.

[esunbaboon]

Those rims are awesome! Nice car.

[HighOctane]

Blacked out the headlights (12/6/07) and Black center console, thanks to mrcharlybrown. Picture up soon. Edited first post with previous cars.

[CarbonIS]

[HighOctane]

I officially hate West Philly.

Someone sat on my hood, leaving a huge dent ...

SO SAD!!! :( :( :(

[C'DALERIDER]

Geez! That sucks. Give me a call some time. Maybe we can get most of it out without messing up the paint? Oh, i have a toothach also.

[HighOctane]

Man, I don't think this will pop out... :(

[Goddabob]

Wow, I didnt expect it to be that bad, that person should be shot in the ass.

[C'DALERIDER]

So you are saying you hate west philly AND big fat people, cause i doubt you would make that impression on an sti hood!

[mrchariybrown]

[simprezl25]

Might be the last time driving the car ... FOR SALE!

[HighOctane]

Also, props to Ray@turbotek for the super clean FMIC install. If I keep this car I will come in again for a tune. And Mrcharlybrown for the super clean blacked out headlights. And to everyone else who has helped out on the way. Hopefully I end up keeping the car, I will see within the next couple weeks.

[HighOctane]

I optioned out to get a student loan so I can keep the car.

I think I might go for some new more aggressive wheels, any recommendations?

[94Boy]
