What's up everyone?
Since getting this car in April 2010, I have gone through a bunch of problems that are documented on sl-i.net. Between the timing belt and tensioner being FUBAR'd and a few other annoying issues, I have realised that this is still a great car. I traded my S13 240SX Hatchback for it, straight trade. The 240 had 140k miles, with rotted frame rails and a slipping clutch. The OBW didn't run right, due to the timing being off, has cancer on the passenger side rear quarter, and looks like it was in a slight front end smack up. Other than that, the car was straight and relatively rust free. Oh yeah, and it only had 85k miles on it when I got it.
MOD LIST:
02-03 WRX Seats
JDM Resin STi Shift knob
03 WRX Momo Wheel
"Custom" (read: jerry riggied) consisting of eBay UELs, HFC, 03 WRX Cat-back, and custom mid-pipe: Just needs header wrap.
07 Forester XT Suspension (Not Installed yet)
Snorkus Delete
99 2-piece headlights
eBay UEL Header
True Flow Intake Systems CAI
GoFastBits Underdrive Pulley
Custom grounding kit
16" 2000 Forester Wheels w/ 215/60R16 Continental Touring Contacts
FUTURE MODS:
Custom coyote tan or olive drab flat paint, unless I can find a body shop who can do MultiCam correctly.
Roof rack of some sort
02 WRX rotors and brackets
STi lateral links
Here are some pics the day I picked it up.
I took these a few days ago, after repairing the headlights, driver's side mirror, and installing the WRX seats.
The lift from the SG Fozzy will be happening in another week or so, then it is time for body work and paint!
There is a lot of work that I still need to do to get it "mod" ready. First and foremost will be replacing the fuel filler pipe. After that will be the suspension. I am still trying to decide if I am going to do a swap. Being that my girlfriend got herself a GF Impreza, I may just swap a WRX motor into mine, rebuild the EJ25D with some extra ponies, and put that into her car. Only time and money will tell.
