you will have to contact an admin on that one...all i did was stay in touch and do my best to figure it out. my powers as a Mod are limited...but i did not forget about you. ;)
 
Is that the N/A version or turbo? I notice you got the fancy rims that hint towards it being the turbo version but lacks the other visual cues. Either way, its def. a nice car... err, was/will be lol

Its the N/A 2.5... with ported and milled heads, reground cams, intake and exhaust, megan coilovers, 235/40ZR18 nitto 555's and about 500 pounds of weight reduction... she's not a drag racer... she's built for canyon carving... I like keeping a "sleeper" look... keeps "the man" at bay =D

I'm always good in car wrecks... wether I'm driving or a passenger I never get hurt beyond bumps and bruises and such... invariably people at the crash scene always tell me I'm lucky to be alive yet I always walk away essentially unscathed... this is about the 8th time (3rd with me at the wheel)... albeit in my opinion this one was pretty minor as far as "hard wrecks" go...

Fuck CI...that just shot my PTSD into over drive. I'll have to scan the photos of my near fatal car accident. It's fucked up. I can't believe I didn't die...or get arrested for screaming at the very nice off duty officer trying to help me. I was sandwiched in and he kept saying"it's ok,everything is fine,but I need you to calm down."
to which I replied"NO!!! What I need to do is get the fuck up out of here!!!" I think he was shocked bc I was a chick,I was sober,and my ass was not only alive but ripping my shattered knee from the dash board trying to get out of that fucker. Almost 6 years and I still have panic attacks. Let it be a lesson to you all-NEVER text and drive. In fact,don't do anything but drive when driving.
fuckin sure you're ok??? i had no idea the shit you could fuck up internally from a car wreck. how is the cat??? you are so sweet to swerve for a kitty. I would do the same-if I ever get behind the wheel of a car again. Glad you are here to tell us about it. If you have any fucked up feelings or non drug related symptoms-take your ass to the ER. I'm seriously!!!
Love your guts-especially since they are still inside you...............skillz <3
 
Damn CI - that is no way to treat a subie. Shoulda got on the gas after you started sliding... it's the only way to recover.

I hope you are buying at least a WRX with the insurance money.

I gotta get a clutch, so I'm just going to drop an ACT lightweight flywheel in it when it's apart... probably a new y-pipe for the intercooler, and I'm going to strip either one or both of the catalytic converters out of my down-pipe (my car is registered somewhere you don't need emissions). Also, my buddy just got a COBB thingy for his car, so I am going to take his old piggyback chip. Also have a MBC and boost gauge waiting to go in.

Those are sick rims, what brand are those?
 
I just saw my baby again today.... she's being transported as I'm typing this to a repair shop that I used to work for....

Believe me I drive race cars and know how to drive very well... this was just one of those times.... had just got up and was groggy and hungry on the way home with a breakfast burrito and coffee and soda that I just picked up and yea....

When I'm out rippin around I get loose all the time its fun.... but this was just a big compilation of inattention... I wasn't driving fast or anything else....

It was kinda like this.... in my head in a split second..

"the car behind me is following me.... are they gonna hit me? No.. just my neighbor in their new car gonna go the same place as me... FUCKING CAT... oh this isn't gonna be good... were in the gravel, no steering or brakes anymore...were gonna miss the telephone pole I think but were mowing down some trees... hands to the chest chin down and were gonna ride it out..."

I was knocked out when I hit the trees and stopped
 
Do you know what the 2.5RS is putting down in terms of whp?

I'm at 205, it should be going up after the lightweight flywheel, exhaust work, and chip. Oh, not to mention the extra 5 psi of boost.

Does the 2.5RS have the same MOMO interior as the WRX?

next car... 22B. I wish.
 
man, I fuckin love Discount Tire. A friend of mine is the manager, and I got these for COST. which is rediculous.

/Enkei wheels.

I don't have my car yet lmao but when I do my car is gonna be a Subaru Outback. Not bad I suppose, for a first car, pretty spacious, good mileage, good for highventures.
 
I will probably drive this car till the day I die... welll not this rental turd... but my baby impreza... she was never a wrx... she didn't wanna be... she didn't care... she's taught many lessons to wrx's... she doesn't start fights or anything she just wants to get everybody up and dancing....
 
Those cars are sick, are they in any sort of affordable range for a high schooler?
 
We just picked up a black '11 WRX hatch this last April. All I got to say is that it is balls. We wanted the Sti but couldnt justify the extra $10k when all you get is 30 extra ponies, some suspension goodies and a turn dial to set what kind of surface your on. If I was 18 again in this situation, I would do it but now we got some real stuff to worry about. Like real bills and things. Im not saying they are bad cars by any means, we drove both cars, but we just couldnt justify it. The Sti to the WRX is like Coke is to Crack. It gets ya high, it just gets ya there a bit differently. Maybe thats a bad analogy.

I used to love modifying cars. Dont know jack really. But, me + haynes manual +other how-to manuals + beer/tools = weekend of fun

We almost built a turbo Aveo (hence screen name) and we were going to show it at HIN Chicago but we couldn't finish in time and we worked on it until an hour before the show. We were fully prepared to limp it down to the show once it was built but we ran in to too many hang ups being that it was an all custom build. Finally said fuck it and bought an Eagle Talon TSI but it was more work than it was worth. Then sold that for money to buy a Jeep. Jeep got totaled and then we used the insurance money for a downpayment on the Scooby. Cool thing is, before we bought the Scooby, we came out ahead on the whole situation $4500 thanks to the Jeep getting totaled. :D
 
Mine is just a 2002 impreza wagon not a wrx... keep it close to stock and treat her right and they are awesome... they are amazing cars in stock trim.... if you cant go out and humiliate corvettes and beemers and porches that think they wanna go fast in the twisties in a bone stock impreza with sticky tires... you need driving school, not horsepower....
 
Nissan Silvia FTW. I had an S13. Affordable, cheap parts and fuck me are they quick. Although mine was constantly sideways rather than going straight :P Kaaz 2 way diff didn't help that hahaha.
