Alright, not the greatest by far, but for my first time ever at the track (Cecil County Drag in MD) I thought I did pretty decent. the 60' def needs some work. I also only got ONE run in and this was it

I like the whale tail. Nice adder with the sti scoop

i truly believe the 2005 was the best year for the WRX. it was built to the song and meaning of WRX.

thanks guys. it's a really fun car to drive. i also just scored a set up gtpsec el headers (el=equal legnth) i put them on my buddies sti 3weeks ago. they were brand new then, but he then decides to part out his car. i put his car completely back to stock and he gave me the headers! lol they are about $700 new. pretty stoked. i just have to get an sti oil pan and a killer bee oil pickup so i can put them on. can't wait

how do u like bc coilover? i been thinking about those or d2's. i would have them if it wasnt for my bearings

shadowmd

02-21-2011, 07:54 PM

thats awesome dude! pics or bust! haha you planning on doing any trans work or is the stocker holding up fine so far?
trans is good!! it really comes down to driver error lol. and as far as pics....got'em, just bad quality so here is a vid lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xKjD19ir6E&feature=autoplay&list=QL&index=1&playnext=2
ignore the cel. it's a dumb code that i already took care of lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_K79QPNtDs

against my friends 330whp/360wtq sti. both had one passenger. the other race is against my friends 08 cobalt ss turbo with trifecta tune, catless dp and uicp (upper intercooler pipe) (and the sti run, we were both tuned by the same tuner on the same dyno, i made 300whp and 330wtq and he made 330whp and 360wtq)

how do u like bc coilover? i been thinking about those or d2's. i would have them if it wasnt for my bearings

i love the coilovers. no noises clunks etc. lil stiff, but i like my suspension like that. it feels and sounds solid which is important.
