So I figured Id post some pics of the wrx... Nothing special, just some home built, self wrenched, road/race fun. I love this car. It's fun, fast, loud (custom cut-out) and has full suspension....

05 STi interior
05 STi tails

Enjoy

 

Nice car! I gotta ask though, what is with the 3 foot shift lever??

 

haha, common question! Its for road racing. The leverage it gives you is unbelieveable. I can pretty much nudge it on a 3-4 shift and it'll throw itself into gear. It's hard to believe until you actually try it, which is what sold me on it... You get a much better feeling of control, and it's completely removeable

 

Nice!

 

Did you have to get a short shifter after you got that extension on your shifter?

 

yeah ive always had a short throw shifter. i got the rally shifter to try it out and ended up loving it

 

might wanna throw a pic of your TL on here, before the thread gets locked

 

i was trying to find the rules about that but couldnt..... ill try and post a pic tonight... MODS please dont delete this thread...

 

I moved this to Car Talk, yer good.

 

nice subie!!!

 

nice ride!

Are those tires the right sizes on the bronze set?

 

haha good eye! nope, they're stretched cause the ones that came with the wheels were potenza RE92's (crap tires). So i threw what I had on...

 

Nice! I like the bumper sticker too. Upgraded brake setup?

 

Subaru 4 pots with SS lines and motul fluid.... nothing special cause I didnt want to spend $2.5k on a setup haha.

 

Nice Subie!

 

What all are you running boost/engine wise? I see the FMIC peeking at me.

 

It's also so you don't have to move your hand as far away from the steering wheel to shift. I've always wanted to get a shifter like that.

The car looks good. Have fun with it.

 

stock 2.0 bottom
worked heads
td05h 18g/clipped wheel
22 psi @ 3500 rpm
TXS UTEC full E/M
AVC-R BC
catless cut-out/stock exhaust
ported intake elbow

*wish i got water/meth setup before getting tuned*

 

yes, it makes it much easier to shift through a turn

 

nice man nice

 

Nice Subie.....

Join the crowd, there are some more of us on here. And I bet 400HP with that light of a car is a bit quick. What kind of tires are on it? I have Bridgestone RE050A's and they are pretty sticky.

 

Nice, I'm up in Rockland pretty often. I'll keep my eyes and ears open for you

 

nice car. why does it say GT30R in your sig?

I didn't think you could make 400whp w/ an 18g.

 

the gt30r's exhaist housing cracked 3 days ago, so as of now its got a clipped 18g. i made 399whp with the 30r... I think if I dynoed now I'd make around 350whp? right now its road tuned on map 4 because I havent made it out to mspt

what are you running? that leggy looks sweet.

 

the re050's are MUCH better of a tire. I was trying to find a set off of an sti or something but couldnt. the re92's are garbage

 

i was gonna run those but i decided to run direzza star specs, tire rack had a special and a rebate. how are they?

 

the re050s are great once there hot. The first lap or two on a track should do the trick.

 

beautiful subie!

 

I like that Z even more...very nice cars!

 

that shifter looks like a lot of fun

 

Once hot, they grab like a German grabbing a bier at a fest. Very nice summer tire but they are expensive ($215 each @ tire rack, 215/45-18)...

 

Nice setup you got on your wrx. I sold my 04 Sti for the 08 TL type-s. Not to high jack your thread but share my set up.

I was running
APS SR50 turbo
Perrin FMIC
Perrin Big MAF
Helix up and down to custom 3" exhaust HKS carbon TI
Modified stock injectors done at RC engineering
Hydra EMS
Blitz boost controller and power meter

 

nice subie bro, wish my bro still had his

 

ok im jealous...... Hydra is the best EM possible. I want to get rid of the MAF so badly....
SR50+2.5L=FUN!

 

I saw your avatar in another thread and was just curious on the setup... Truth is the tilt steering wheel was what really made me curious since I am in the market for one

Glad I looked at the thread, suby's fresh kid...
