i think my rims are past the point of saving them with powder coating.. maybe the springs though??
and wannabe, i think your garage would be good.. I'm pretty sure i'll have to go get the spring tension thingy from like autozone though, which requires me to have someone over 18 cosign it so i can rent it?

Hey, Razzi is a whiz at that spring tensioner tool, you should enroll him if you are going to get one, he is really good at it.

Nope, Razzi is the spring compressor master. Just ask him, he'll tell you, no one can compress a spring like the Razz-master.

Also, since I no longer have a camera, Matt came over tonight and we both washed and polished our rides, then he snapped a few pics. Once I get a few of them from him, I'll post one or two up here for you all to see the Scoob with the tints, the flaps, and the tramp stamp.

Oh you just wait.











But, as a teaser, you know how you look for those chicks at the club on spring break that have the tatoo in the small of their back?

SATURDAY MAY 23rd 2009 @ Crystal Lake Park, Apple Valley MN 3-4PM

Shit, if I had bankroll I wouldn't have put it up here to see if anyone wanted to buy it. I would have snatched that shit up and have it in my heated garage with a lift right now getting a fully-built race motor installed with a turbo big enough to reverse the rotation of the earth.

Blue, the yellow is my blinker.

You can see the tints and the flaps, but not the tramp stamp. I'm still waiting to get more photos from Matt.

I have decided that I no longer will be driving to chinese restaraunts. I think it's been just over a year since someone pushed in my wheel well of the TL. And I didn't realize at the time that i never changed my deductable when I changed over the insurance. Deductable = $1000, damage = $997. I guess I kind of lost on that deal.

Saturday some jerk must have missed the tiny truck parked next to him. Someone sideswiped the truckbox. No dents, but it will take some major buffing to get things back to respectable for a truck (cars and trucks have different standards...lol). And my cleared tails have a scuffed lense now as well. Hopefully I can maybe buff those a little too.

Hey Josh... you get a bumper sticker for that beast? lol

Sisters bfs parents just bought an 09 WRX 5mt over the weekend. Apparently it is nearly as fast as the STI or somthing like that, but a lot cheaper.

The WRX has 40 HP fewer, 50 lb ft of torque fewer, narrower wheel base, longer wheel base, narrower tires, smaller brakes, smaller calipers, different tranny, no fuel map selection, no diff settings, different suspension settings and sway bars. So, it's mostly the same, but all of the performance bits are upgraded.

The body, suspension setup, AWD, steering wheel, radio, interior (minus alcantara), that stuff is all the same or nearly the same. They basically just took the WRX and then went to the next level with everything that makes it go fast. They also used a lot more lightweight materials & less sound deadening material in an effort to keep weight down.

Glad to have another member of the Scoob family! Is your sister's bf's parents cousins dogs brothers owner ever going to bring the car to a meet?

They have massive potential for massive HP numbers, and since it has the same base as the STi, you can make it pretty competitive.

I'll hit him up on MN Subaru, see if he is down with the autocross, maybe he'll change his mind about stage 2 and run it this year.

He thinks autocrossing is too hard on his car.

He already has it all stage 2, lowered, grippy tires. It made like 300awhp.
