Chaos's 05 STi: OFFICIAL JOURNAL. Back from the body shop. Still official.

[CHAOS]

After totalling my beloved 96 Mazda MX-6 in April of 2006, I was on a search to find my perfect daily driver. I've loved the STi ever since I saw the 04-05 body style but I always thought it was out of my price range. After basically getting to a point in my life where i had to decide to either move out of my parents house or buy a new car, i decided to find my perfect STi... i had searched around for months for a black one with gold wheels... but i couldnt find one that wasnt over priced or beat to hell and back... then one saturday morning i stumbled upon this CGM STi at Welsh Subaru in Limerick. I made a call as soon as i saw the car... something struck me that said i needed to drive this car... so i went up later that day... only to find out that i was the first of about 5 calls about the car. It was pouring rain but i drove the car anyway and fell in love... it wasnt my first choice but it had low miles 7009 to be exact, and it was extremely clean minus the water spots that are still on the car. (i think its because there is a nuclear power plant in Limerick and the acid rain got to the paint before i did haha.) Either way i fell in love and drive the car every day. I wanted something that was fast, reliable, and was able to handle any kind of weather, and ive found it.

[ToTheIX's]

that evo in some of your pics is pretty sweet....and wheres the pic of you backing into the water

[jspek]

i want to shoot your car. (with my camera of course)

[FASTERTHANU]

sick ride dude. everything just flows nicely. I bet the mudflaps keep a lot of dirt off the paint?

[CHAOS]

yea im sure they do... im kinda scared to lower the car with them on haha... they'll scrape.

[FASTERTHANU]

yeah, I was thinking about lowering mine, but I'm a little skeptical about it. It's mainly for looks. my front sits up like it had skyjackers on it and it still handles sick.

[CHAOS]

plus living in PA... the roads are ****-ty for having a low car

[FASTERTHANU]

hey chaos311clarity. Why does your car had 254 whp, I thought they come 300/300 whp?

[CHAOS]

thats crank horsepower man.... its 254 horsepower at the wheels... there is a large amount of drivetrain loss with all wheel drive... and i dyno'd on a dyno that normally reads a bit low.
