New addition to Family!

I needed to get something a little more... stable for my daily driver so i went out and get me a new/used car. Still have the subie, but now she can get the attention she needs with out my having to rush to get it back on the road to drive to work the next day... Also less miles on an expensive motor that is expensive to fix, lol..

So with out further a due... My 07 Carbon Bronze Pearl TL TypeS








Mods so far, I shaved the rear except the TypeS and "A" logo, and green lug nuts... Next should be a catback exhaust.. don't want to go too crazy with the mods on this one...

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing what this scene has to offer. I've been involved on NASIOC for well over 7 years. This is my subie who is sitting in the garge waiting on me to getting around to replacing a burnt wiring harness, getting a new turbo, and getting the beast tuned...

it has a 35r on it right now... i might go down to a 30r though to get a bit quick spool and power through out power band..
The motor on the subie has everything done to it possible except for stroke and sleeved. All head work, cams, forged everything, 1000cc injectors, etc.

its actually a 4EAT, with an upgraded Torque converter and modded Valvebody from IPT, so its held up so good so far, lol, not the glass 5-speeds most of them had. With my high stall(can be power braked up to 3400-3600rpm) i can launch at close to full boost, with the 30r it should be full boost off the line.

too low for rally cross, lol. I could raise the coil overs to i guess, but meh.. lol I have autocrossed it a few times, it has full upgraded suspension too, lol. Strut bars, sways bars, end links, camber bolts, KYB 4 way struts, GC coilovers, upgraded 13.4 inch slotted Stoptech rotors up front, drill and slotted brembo rear rotors, SS Goodrich brake lines, etc... There is more done to that car then there are factory parts still on it, lol.. Even the front end is a Chargespeed Widebody front end...
