Hawt! I'm sorry, but those VMR Wheels look sooooo much better D2 Racing baby! Makes me wish I had a GTI to mod.

Hi everyone, my name is Wil and I'm new here. I drive 2 Subarus: a 93 Impreza L and 02 WRX. Right now I'm in the process of putting the WRX back to stock and selling it. The L will be receiving all my old goodies, including an ej207 (jdm sti motor). Here's a quick rundown of my mods (most of them have yet to be installed on the L):

ej207 longblock (AVCS running)
sti RA-gears
tokico d-spec struts and springs
20g turbo (EWG)
Gruppe-s EL headers
AEM CAI
custom meth/water injection kit
FHI 4/2 pot brakes
RS front end
05-07 dash, center console swap

In progress/future plans:
Individual throttle bodies
Hydra standalone
Sti steering rack (quicker ratio)
swaybars, endlinks, cowl stays, strut bars

That's most of it. Maybe I'll take some pics later!

Welcome to the board Wred!

Hello everyone,

My name is Arco and my car's name is Sadie. She is an 04 Subaru WRX. I've owned the car for nearly 5 years and there has been a lot done since then. It's definitely been a learning experience in buying parts because they were good deals, then selling them after learning more about the car and the parts that are out for the Subaru. Then there was more buying and selling because I've changed my mind about the direction of what I wanted for my WRX and also from running into issues in compatibility of some other parts. She's essentially an STi now with her own style.

Here's the breakdown.

- TurboXS UTEC Delta with Map Switch

Exterior
- JDM STi Foglights and Bezels
- Retrofitted TSX Projector Headlights
- Molded Replica Mines Spoiler (in progress)
