[JBWRX06]

they did the same thing with the scanner when i had my cavalier. But now i try to keep quiet when i am around them. But when it comes to bethal cops. I ll be as loud as i can, They have followed me for no reason and never did anything. I hate bethal cops. All they do is stare at me, i am waiting for them to pull me over for nothing

how do you like the s-techs on stock struts? i love the drop, but i have heard mixed reviews on them. i am debating between them and the h-techs.

i had s-techs on my eclipse. nice drop but it hit HARD on bumps within weeks of havin them on. as far as on a suby i have no idea (im not dropped yet)

So after being there all day I took the plunged and traded my civic in and got a good deal. Now its been almost a year with the car and I'm glad I got it. Now for the pics.

Then I entered my car in Hot Import Nights Philly in May of 07. I was originally going to put the civic in, but since I traded it in I decided to put the WRX in to see what the show life is like and to get a feel for it.

yea it will be a year in like a week or two. the only mods on the car when i bought it was the utec, s-techs and downpipe. the springs dont hit hard in my car unless its a huge pothole. ive only hit a couple cause i never saw them because of rain. other then that i like them a lot but will upgrade to coilovers. gotta get the new turbo on first tho.

[05suby]

anyone know if remote starters are safe for manuals? i really have no idea about that kind of stuff, just tired of going into a freezing cold car in the morning. PA weather FTL.

[Chris_PA]

You have to leave the car out of gear when you park it

Other than that, good for go


I always leave my car in gear when parked
No go for me

[05suby]

oh ok thanks chris.

yea, the reviews the people on NASIOC give about the s-techs made me weary about considering them. i think they give a great drop (appearance wise) which is the only reason i want them. i just want to get ride of the hideous wheel gap. i am worried just worried about ride quality with the s-techs.

and if you ever want to sell or trade those wheels, let me know, i love them! :p

[05suby]

haha ill sell the wheels once i can afford volks and like i said the s techs ride perfectly fine on my ride.

[05suby]

new brake pads should be in anyday now.

Mods to come soon:

1. hopefully buying the injectors off of Bryan
2. selling my exhaust and getting the Invidia N1 race
3. Invidia Uppipe
4. 2 new rims and getting the curb rash fixed on the 2 coming off.
5. smoke the tails

[JBWRX06]

how did you curb your rims? and i def will run into your car next time you rev at me when i am in a John Deer tractor at work hahaha. the plow would of done some damage

[.brian.]

damn man, what happened to your wheels? i was just going to ask you if you were ready to trade them for some torques :P

post up some more pictars!

[05suby]

the first time was from my parents parking like dbags in my driveway and the second time was the other day when some dbag in media decided to turn at the last second and i had to go around him and ended up tapping a curb. its not too bad but i cant deal with knowing that its there.

more pictures will come after the sonic cruise and john dont even think about it lol. i know where you park hahaha.
