I'd like to thank some people for all the help I've gotten so far...

Ryan @ Area1320 - For getting pulled over with me and answer the phone/my questions even when I called every 2 mins.
Ray @ Turbotek - for his competitive pricing and general help
Andy (rodder) - for his infinite patience and garage space
Matt (denmah) - for his laptop, sloppyness, and general help
Drake (rodknock02) - even tho he was a no show for the install... he still provided some good technical advice.

Nice, real nice.

CarbonIS · 02-20-2008, 10:00 AM

i hope you got a deal on it being as it's wingless lol...sweet car!

RayArroyo · 02-20-2008, 11:57 AM

ryan looks awesome , congrats again

CHAOS · 02-20-2008, 12:09 PM

nice purchase, put a wing on it please. lol

Seven · 02-20-2008, 06:13 PM

No wing guys sorry.
A big part of the reason I bought this car was because it had no wing and was a color that wouldn't attract a lot of attention.

Future mods are UTEC delta, up/down pipes, exhaust, coilovers and a set of 18x9.5 Rota Boosts in gunmetal with some new tires for the street and the current wheels/tires (BBS) will become for track duty only.

CarbonIS · 02-20-2008, 09:41 PM

why wouldn't u use the 18x9.5s for the track and the bbs' for the street? the wider wheel would be better for the track...

and you really don't need to upgrade the up-pipe unless you are going ewg

I'll be doing headers at the same time as well.

and Auto-x STU class limits you to a 8in wide wheel. So I cant run the 18x9.5s at the auto-x/track.

Saw one today but its the first I've seen in person besides mine

altered the original post as far as what I have in my possession.

BillFromTR · 03-12-2008, 07:05 AM

Nice pics and great car! You will regret the BOV and the Prosport gauges. The sensors on the Maddad's are garbage. Mine lasted a week before frying (EGT, boost is ok)

fbuckfifty · 03-12-2008, 08:25 PM

congrats on new car...ive always had a liking for the sti's w/o the wing, makes them look cleaner. good show man

My friend had good luck with the boost and EGT on his turbo 331 Mustang... maybe you just had bad luck? or maybe he had good luck? I dunno.

They're not as spendy as Defis, match the Gauge cluster and fit the pod I'm buying for the steering column so ... yeah.

danscoobywagon · 03-13-2008, 05:52 AM

nice whip

I'd say so... a friend of mine at work actually test drove it before I bought it.
I didn't find this out til after I bought the car tho. Pretty wild.
Small World indeed!
