June 07 - Just picked her up! I got it used with 26k miles, complete with Injen DP, HKS Catback, Turbo XS BOV, Tein springs, Nitto NT555R 245/45 17 tires and a few small goodies (removed intake silencer, AM boost guage). This car is a true blast to drive, I look forward to driving it in the mornings and hate having to park it every night. In fact I think I'm going to go for a drive right now...

September 07 - In the last couple of months I've gone a little mod-crazy. I've removed the Turbo XS BOV (this car wasn't meant for an atomspheric BOV, I bought a used stock BPV to replace it and am very happy with the change), added an Injen intake, Kartboy short shifter, buttloads of Kartboy, TiC, and Whiteline bushings, STi V-Limited front lip, Cobb Accessport, Innovate LC-1 wideband o2 sensor kit, and moved the Innovate XD-16 AFR gauge and the Autometer boost gauge to the A-pillar.

Doing the lip install with a couple of Evo and STi guys (8/1/07):

October 07 - Just replaced the brake pads with Hawk HP+, these things are ridiculous! A couple of pics from the install (yes I know my garage has a hole in it).

.

 

November 07 - Some new toys have arrived! New OEM under panel, GT-Spec Gen II header/uppipe and Thermotec heat wrap, 1 step colder NGK iridium plugs, Walbro 255lph fuel pump, and a set of urethane rear trailing link bushings

..

February 08 - Some new gauges, MadDad Ultra boost, oil pressure, oil temperature, and a MadDad v2 Ti EGT for the a-pillar to replace the old boost gauge.

March 08 - Cleared the headlights
