Your car = THE BUSINESS :grin:

FanTASTic Legacy. Thanks for posting!

[Zac]

really clean looking :)

Love it!

[Cervantes]

i'm really digging that car. not a fan of white cars, but that came out great.

[Yamazaki]

Nice indeed. Any interior pics?

['Buru in the Burgh]

holy shit I'm in love

[predent]

Wow thanks for all the compliments everyone!

Cervantes, I wasn't really a fan of white either until I found this car. I just love the pearl when the light hits it right.

Yamazaki, I don't currently have any interior photos. Nothing too fancy inside, but I will take some pics soon. That's a good idea.

Meanwhile here's another pic I took earlier this year... Snow should be here soon.

[Zac]

just curious why you went UEL

You will actually lose power compared to your stock EL's

[predent]

The stock 05 n/a header is unequal from the factory and is routed differently than 06+.... I had a garbage bag melt onto the factory header and it stunk every time it got up to temp. I couldn't remove all the plastic and I wanted some rumble. I didn't notice any performance difference between the two.

Call me a ricer, but there's not much real power to be made from these engines.

But here's how she sounds...

[lord flashheart]

You forgot to blurr one of your license plates.
Are u planning on coming to the wintercross on Feb 12?

[predent]

The plates that aren't blurred are photoshopped.... I really don't have 666 666 plates, lol.

I am planning on making it out to wintercross that day, it's actually my birthday. It'll be my first time on a track, any suggestions?

['Buru in the Burgh]

Meh, wish you would have kept the dark tint, I was loving the black and white look you had going. Also not a fan of the window stickers either, but to each his own!

Now you gotta drop a turbo in it!

[rougeben83]

I like it better without. Tints are meant for windows, no where else.

[predent]

I got a ticket the tail light tint so I had to remove it. It's annoying getting pulled over for stupid things like that all the time so I've had to live with the changes. I didn't like to see it go at first, but I'm not unhappy with the new look.

The stickers are for my buddy's new restaurant. They'll be coming off soon though. I don't get involved in serious relationships with decals.

If the changes you see now aren't doing it for you.... You won't like what I have in store for the car. Lol.

Sorry my bad forget the EL exhaust was introduced in 2006 :oops:

And yes you can make good power with these engines, some cams and TWE exhaust manifold and you'll be hanging with WRX's!

[lord flashheart]

Just to clarify i think he was refering to the 2.0L WRXs.

[STIdarkside]

Are you planning on keeping it N/A?

[ouch1011]

Pretty, me likey!

I'm looking at blacking out the headlight housings tomorrow. The 06 chrome housings are too bright (not light output-wise, just appearance)

[predent]

Are you planning on keeping it N/A?

Yeah, most likely. Seems silly to me to boost a car that is readily available in a turbo version from the factory. And I'm kinda-sorta in the market for a 2.5RS coupe as a new project.

Thank you. Take your time with it, especially prying the lenses off, and I'm sure they'll turn out well. Good luck.

[predent]

Made a custom shift knob. Pretty cool, eh?

omg 4eat ftl

['Buru in the Burgh]

haha the picture isnt working for me

[Airgne]

looks nice, but could you read the rules about thread titles.

[predent]

^ Yes sir. Fixed.

And 'buru in the burgh, I don't know why that image wasn't working, but it's back. btw go penguins.

['Buru in the Burgh]

still can't see the image lol

and yes go Pens!

[predent]

Strange. I couldn't see it earlier but now it's working fine for me.

Well, it's the handle of a hockey stick for those who can't see it or don't know what it is. lol.

Today I've been playing with romraider and my new vagcom cable. Just starting to data log, it's pretty fun learning what the engine is doing. Also considering a k&n panel filter, worth it? Will be getting a tune soon.

[ElbryanWolf]

Predent,

Do you have pics of your hybrid cold intake set-up. I'm running a N/A '06 limited and I'd like to get some insite from someone that has done it.

Thanks
