Over the summer I was on my way to work and saw a modded WRX and an RS sitting at the local Subaru dealership owner's house. I talked it over with my parents (seeing how I already had a GT sedan and an L wagon sitting at my house) and we agreed to buy a newer car with less miles to use for college. Went to the dealership the next day to find out the WRX was automatic and ended up convincing the owner to sell the RS.

The car already had 5% rear tint and 20% front tint, professionally done, as well as a full sound system (headunit, speakers, tweeters, all amped). Upon getting it home I immediately installed a front strut bar, Hella Supertones, Blue interrior lights, moved my possesions into the car, and gave it a good wash. Modding stopped there until recently. I purchased some Hella foglights, Rally Armor mudflaps, JDM blue I badge, Kartboy shift knob, JDM side markers, JDM front spats, WRX sway bar, dual tip stromung catback, and 8000k Hid kit.

Currently the foglights, shift knob, I badge, and HID kit is installed and this weekend we'll be installing the side markers, spats, and sway bar. Waiting on the stromung to come in the mail and going to pick up the headers in about 2 weeks or so. The mudflaps scraped the pavement too much so it was best to part with them.

The RS is one of my favorite Subies, and if they weren't so rare I would have one right now. I looked for one for about 6 months before I decided to get a Legacy.
But yours is looking clean, :smt023 awesome car.

sorry Chuck, had it in my head that it was for subarus in general and other brands in members rides II

On another topic, ended up wrecking the RS on the way home. Tire came off the bead and thus I spun around, slid backwards at about 60 mph across the highway, then had the front end swing around and contact a rock hill. Only damage I saw was the tire off of the rim and some slight scratches in the bumper. Still got it out being on an incline in 3 inches of snow and with 3 tires..Gotta love good old Subaru. I'll post up pictures on sunday along with an update.

[chuckthefuk]

What the shit!!!!!! Go after the dealership mechanic! How can they safety a car and the damn tire fly off!!!!!!

I looked for forever as well, sometimes if your lucky a guy will drive up to WA from some weird state and offer it up for only 6k because they don't know how rare they are. I Love the 2.5 RS

I bought the car in June without a warranty. Just got home from the garage and they said that the tire is perfectly fine, it just slipped off the bead. $12.72 later I drove home.

definitely was lucky on this one

[GTDrifter]

So today we installed a wrx rear sway bar and clear side markers. unfortunately the spats didnt line up right?? so we traded them for a rallitek rear diff skid plate. I probably wont install it so once I snap a pic it'll show up in the classifieds. I also ended up buying a driver wrx seat from 2002-2003 for $25 that will have to get installed.

Where did you find that!

[csweston]

Wow, i love it. As well i am jealous too! I would of much rather had one of these.

On a side note, ditch the HID kit until you can actually retrofit projectors. Simply putting in an HID kit into the stock housing actually makes the lighting worse and blinds oncoming traffic.

The seat?..my friend had it in his garage and didnt want it..anybody know where to find a passenger wrx seat around pa?

In my opinion they increased the ability to see at night but havent seen if they bother people or not. I do have projectors but no spare crystal headlights to retrofit.

[Cervantes]

i'm really digging the car...more so w/out all the extra lights though. sorry about your accident, came out pretty lucky.

[peter]

Love the looks of those, theres a guy not too far from me selling a silver one just like yours for 5800. I have cash to buy it and could even keep my Legacy, or sell to recoup some money. But Im passing this up, Ill probably regret it later.

And I agree about ditching the hids till you retrofit the headlights, especially with 8000k. I refuse to get hids until i do that, and a friend on mine thinks Im crazy. Iv explained several times how much better you can see with and that they dont blind other drivers but he still argues against them

[GTDrifter]

I'm not saying that projectors with HID lights wont increase visability and not blind other drivers, I'm simply just saying that HIDs without projectors helps me see at night and probably blinds other drivers. I don't face that much traffic so its not so much of a problem. I'll retrofit as soon as I get a spare set of headlights to do so

just got an offer on the rest of the wrx seat setup. $125 for the passenger and rear seats so I'm going to pick them up Friday and they should be installed by Friday night. I'll post pics once that's completed

[rallywagon]

Do something about that exhaust man haha

[GTDrifter]

I did lol...its in the first post...I bought a stromung dual tip catback and gotta wait for it to come in the mail and I'm looking at getting headers but have to wait til the owner gets them off his car.

[rallywagon]

ok cool dude

[b5a4]

Nice a fellow PA RS owner, check out mine in the members ride 2 section.... Mine is still a work in progress so not nearly as nice as yours. So how do you like the WRX rear sway bar??

[GTDrifter]

the wrx sway bar was definitely a noticeable upgrade. the car sticks to corners alot better now

[GTDrifter]

Miner update: I got a passenger wrx seat and rear wrx seats installed today but need to modify some old rails so i can install the driver seat. That won't get done til wednesday so for now I have to look at my nice new seats without the chance at using them lol. Stromung catback is sitting at my college which will be picked up monday and installed wednesday

[GTDrifter]

UPDATE: All WRX seats are now installed. Just got whiteline solid endlinks and the Stromung dual tip and those are going to be installed thursday night. making plans to get rear bracing welded in for autocross but no plans on when thatll be done yet.

[rallywagon]

nice dude

[GTDrifter]

another update: We realized that the stromung exhaust was modded for a turbo exhaust and wouldnt match up right so we needed to get an extension to weld up the flange from my stock midpipe which were planning on completing sunday night. while under the car my friend noticed that i had single port heads so thatll effect future mods. I'll post pics after I remember where I put my camera.

[GTDrifter]

update for you haters...foglights have been removed for the summer
also we werent able to weld the exhaust today so its gonna have to wait for another time. car looks pretty sweet with a dual tip though. cant wait for the install.

[GTDrifter]

Currently looking at an sti block with wrx heads, je pistons, and everything needed to swap except a turbo. Seller said he'll include alot of mods and parts and open his garage in which case I may have anything I want. He just sold his Impreza and wants to get rid of anything. Got half of the amount saved up in 2 weeks and I have about a month to get the rest before the summer and I move. Hopefully I can get the engine before the summer and if it turns out as planned then there will be a for sale thread of extra parts to get money together for a 6 speed so i can fun the engine full power.

[GTDrifter]

So I'm ditching the sti block and looking at getting a jdm ej20t from a fellow member. The sti block costs too much and would just bee too expensive in the long run with 2 tunes and a 6 speed. so close to affording the new engine and am starting tossing around the idea of doing a minor part out to get the money quicker. Got diagrams from a well known company on merging the harnesses and a buddy of mine is a subaru mechanic (cant beat that right?). Decided I'm staying in PA this summer rather than moving so well be parking my rs for the swap and doing the swap over the week while I drive my wagon.

[GTDrifter]

Got blue neon tube lights from a friend for free so they will be going into the trunk. You may call it ricey but I don't care cause it'll be nice to have a trunk light. Still have to weld a new flange on my stromung dual tip catback. Went to install the axleback portion for the time being but the flanges on my stock exhaust are chipping away and the bolts are too rusted to budge. Tried pb blaster but more of the flange disappeared. Can't weld the flange on because a friend and i are working on swapping his auto impreza to a manual with a new engine and lack of parts and time is making it take longer than it should. The swap isn't as big of a deal as people make it out to be, just as long as you have a donor car like we did and remember where plugs go and where parts got moved to.

[GTDrifter]

Update: FINALLY put the Stromung catback on-before you comment about it yes I know it looks like shit painted black, I didn't do it
Also installed JDM clear corners

[GTDrifter]

Also don't ask why the pics are all weird...its unexplainable.

[GTDrifter]

Tail lights are tinted so the rear end aint stock anymore and i replaced the stromung midpipe with my stock one and now there are no leaks (had to cut rusty bolts off to separate midpipe from axleback)

I'll get pics and a sound clip later tonight or tomorrow

[GTDrifter]

Attempting to find a video of a friend on facebook of the Fackville Autocross last fall and found someones profile who took a picture of my RS in midrace

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/05/60027_439820633777_507258777_5225208_643-1.jpg

[GTDrifter]

So since I last updated, I added a Duralast Gold Top Battery, VIS Carbon Fiber Hood (a huge thanks to b5a4 ), tinted my tail lights, and took out the unwelded, leaking stromung midpipe and put the stock midpipe back on so I'm running a stromung axleback.

For the hood, the previous owner primered it (which is good cause it would have gotten painted anyway). Today I removed the vents and scoop and painted all the mesh back to flat black instead of primer gray and am now waiting to start working again to get money to paint the hood.

I recently bought a JDM v2/v3 bumper with JDM fog covers and clear bumper signals which I'm slowly sanding to paint. Pics of those are provided as well

I'm in the process of uploading pics to photobucket and will post them as they are uploaded.

Nice. Real nice. Love the hood. You gonna darken it up at all?

[GTDrifter]

darken what up?

[geckoboy86]

Sorry about that. LOL
Darken up the hood or are you gonna paint it silver?

How goes the sanding of the bumper?

[GTDrifter]

yeah lol...i got transferred to a better department at work which I start monday and it'll be about 3 weeks until I get paid and save enough to get paint

As for the bumper, its slow, tedious work that takes hours to do lol so far I have roughly 10 hours into it with repairing tabs and sanding each fin on the bumper down to the plastic because the primer and paint one of the POs used chips and peels. I'm estimating another 4 hours of sanding and then I gotta primer/paint/clear coat it. then its off to my friends house to use his L beam and sawzall for installation

[b5a4]

Hood looks good man, painting the mesh black made it look a lot better for the time being.. yeah I had the same issue with my bumper it was a white bump painted cheaply black and chipped and peeled all the paint off. It's a huge time investment but it'll look great when its done

[GTDrifter]

yeah...the hood shakes a little at 70 mph but I'm thinking if I get a shorter latch on the hood than itll tighten it all up.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

shes looking pretty good.

[GTDrifter]

^^ Thanks

Yesterday I changed oil. Finally located Royal Purple locally and threw 10w30 in

Also I didn't inform you guys that a few weeks ago my girlfriend was going to work. We said our goodbyes and I was walking back in my house and heard a loud bang. I turned around to see my girlfriends car pressed against mine with the back end of my car in the air. She had the look of utter fear in her eyes as she knows how much I care about the car. When she pulled forward I inspected both cars for damage. My car had some light scratches on the rear bumper and scratches on her rear bumper as well so it wasn't such a big deal and I just shrugged it off.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Damn dude! When my dad toldme that he drove back into my car I ran outside and almost cried. Hahaha

[rallywagon]

Niceeee

[GTDrifter]

An update...
Got paint for the hood, paint didn't match at all, then clear coat made it look much worse.
Got new paint for the bumper, tested it on a spare fender and it matches better than the hood, started priming the bumper until I ran out of primer. Picking more primer up tomorrow to finish and then painting the bumper, might as well repaint the hood while I'm at it.

[GTDrifter]

went to install my jdm bumper today, started cutting an L beam with a hacksaw and got fed up when i got to the mounting points, then went to get a cheap reciprocating saw form harbor freight and the ******s closed as soon as i got out the car, went to sears and got a $60 saw for $30 (on sale). got home and went to use the saw til i realized the included blade was for wood, luckily my dad had a metal blade laying around. then it got dark so i have to finish it tomorrow.

[GTDrifter]

finished installing my jdm bumper yesterday. love it alot more than my rs bumper, just gotta work on getting my license plate back on. heres some pics:

GTDrifter... Looking very good. I might be heading up your way soon (within a month), Ill send ya a text to see what you're up to when I do.

[Huffer]

You know what's really funny - the guys in NZ fight over the V5/6 bumper (your previous RS bumper) because they're all driving WRX's older than 99 and have your JDM bumper (V3/4). Personally I prefered the other bumper - it looks more aggressive to me. Might be because I had a GF impreza and did an upconvert to the V5/6 bumper.

[GTDrifter]

^^that is pretty funny...not alot of people in my area have the v3/v4 bumper so its more unique

minor update: installed 2 10" dual subwoofers and a 1,200 watt amp

[GTDrifter]

went with a friend (and local sl-i member) to get him rs sideskirts and bought jdm rear spats which were installed about an hour after getting back, didn't take good pics yet and will have to wait til morning to do so

[httrdd]

Those cars are so agressive looking. They should of turboed these from the start!

found a short shifter at the junkyard the other day. the threads were cut off so i got a die to recut the threads. installed it yesturday and couldn't be happier.

[GTDrifter]

some recent changes:
got the rest of my new brake setup (2003 wrx front brakes with 2k on the pads and rotors), Version 3 STI rear brakes and Hawk brakepads for those, and a short ram intake (might be ebay)

intake is installed, started sanding the paint/primer off the hood (hoodscoop almost finished and it looks amazing)

also going to pick up STI blue carpet and Konig subzero 17" wheels on Monday (the ones from RS25)


Also got pulled over in Monroe Township, NJ when I went to visit the girlfriends grandparents. We were 5 minutes away from their house when the cop pulled up behind me, followed me for 1/4-1/5 a mile and pulled us over stating that we were "speeding". Then told me my registration was expired (which is because my mom shredded the application thinking it was for my wagon and didn't tell me it came in the mail) so Tuesday I'll be back in NJ to fight both tickets. Wish me luck.

[GTDrifter]

Got the Konigs, painted them Storm Gray Mettalic. Had to get aftermarket lugnuts to install them. They will be going on Friday so I'll post pics when it's all done.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

can I buy your 6 spokes? haha

[GTDrifter]

Pending with one of my friends lol

nm I might be getting some snowflakes! lol

[geckoboy86]

I wanna see these new rims on it.

[GTDrifter]

you'll see them tomorrow...weather depending

[GTDrifter]

rolled the rear fenders with the baseball bat technique...had to jack up the car to fit the bat between the tire and the fender.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/09/IMAG0276-1.jpg

[GTDrifter]

just got dual port headers which is getting modded to single port headers today, Got low grit sandpaper to hopefully get my hood back to carbon fiber, got fiberglass and resin to fix my hood to sell it. Got 22b replica vents for when I get a new hood and just bougth a vent scoop for the passenger side. My cousin car puts me in a "stop being lazy and make the car nicer" mood.

[redlegacygt]

thats awesome that shaun is your cousin. I've went to a couple meets and rallies with him an some other people in the "wilpo" group. His car is definitely sick!

[GTDrifter]

Yeah...if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have known about Subaru forums

Also he has jdm tiger stripe front and rear seats ftw lol

[GTDrifter]

so it's now set in stone...This Friday I'm going to pick up a stock RS hood the same color as my car!!!! So Friday I'll install the vent and vent scoop and post pics when it is completed. Also I get to keep the carbon fiber hood scoop so that'll also be installed

[GTDrifter]

Got the stock RS hood in my color on Friday, installed my 22b vents and carbon fiber hood...just got the hood vent scoop in the mail today so after my classes it's getting painted to match the 22b vent...pics will be up by the end of the week.

[GTDrifter]

paint finally dried

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/10/IMAG0348-1.jpg

install tomorrow and pics tomorrow night

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/10/IMAG0355-1.jpg

Finally decided (with the help of chad (xoSubieLegacyxo)) that it would look beter if I painted the carbon fiber hood scoop the same color as the vent and vent scoop than if I just sanded it and cleared it so I did that. Dark pics until tomorrow

God I love your car.

Also, I like the Hellas that your friend has on there. My neighbor has a blue impreza with black magics on the front, and that thing looks intense. Definitely a good look for the impreza.

This is probably my favorite body style, Hellas or not.

[GTDrifter]

thanks! the gm rs (2 door) is getting harder to find...especially ones that aren't dented and such

the hellas are a nice touch too

[GTDrifter]

did a little work with black paint over the weekend
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/10/IMAG0365-1.jpg

[Danny-G]

I see what you did there.

[GTDrifter]

So today I installed an ebay oil catch can. pulled off the stock hose and a ton of black came out from the hose...like a mixture of old ass oil and dirt.
well see how good this catch can works

[GTDrifter]

over this weekend I installed an eBay rear strut bar to compliment the front strut bar and this weekend coming up I'll be making a trip to Maryland to pick up gold 6 spokes and new tires, also I will then be adding my red locking lugnuts and will take pics of the new parts.

[GTDrifter]

Wheels and locking lugs on

haha he has a few sets at a time usually and trades like crazy for new stuff. He also paints them a lot of different colors to switch it up to. One of his last cars he only had for about 2 or 3 weeks and had at least 3 different sets on there during that time.

[geckoboy86]

Looks good. Are you going to keep the hood items (scoop, inlet, vent) black?

[GTDrifter]

no...they're on the "to be painted" list...vents, scoops, side skirts, and spats...all colormatched

[geckoboy86]

Ok...Then that will be BADASS!

[04Legacy]

The RS is looking really good Harry!! Keep up the good work

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

"IS THAT AN STi???? I love those models and I can never find one with an automatic!" bwahaha! Looks good.

[GTDrifter]

So after 6 f***ing hours the eibachs are finally in...would have been quicker if:
1. I didn't have to use the jack out of the trunk
2. I had some help rather than doing it by myself
3. the rear seat cooperated (took an hour and a half to finally get it bolted in with all the anchors connected)

car gets aligned tomorrow but it does drive quite nice

[GTDrifter]

So it looks like an 05 wrx swap is a great possibility in the near future.

[GTDrifter]

painted the hood scoops and vent...not a perfect match but you cant tell from a few feet away

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/01/404692_2721116759097_1592413928_2465635_-1.jpg

[GTDrifter]

so I decided to walk away from the wrx engine. Don't wanna get into a repair with an unknown estimate to repair so instead I'm gonna save up for an ej20k from an engine dealer not too far away. Not only is the engine guaranteed to run and has a 30 day warranty but it's located only 45 minutes from my friends house who just got done swapping an ej20k into his stm rs and so he knows exactly what I'll need and agreed to do the install for a very low price. Said he'll have it done in one weekend.

Meh! It's your fault for buying a harbor freight kit!

[GTDrifter]

It's your fault for being a noob at using a plastic welder lol

[amgarrety]

Just bolt it on!!

Just don't go to harbor freight for the parts :lol:



Actually.... I like the zip ties.

[GTDrifter]

It's a repair job that I need the plastic welder and zip ties is lighter and easier

[amgarrety]

Its a lip, right? Which one?

[GTDrifter]

I was told its a genuine v-limited but I couldn't find any proof so I'm just gonna call it an ebay lip
Just gotta finish shifting some parts back into place and plastic weld the halves together
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/01/IMAG0529-1.jpg

[amgarrety]

Awesome! I love how lips look. I can't wait to see it on the car.

[GTDrifter]

Yeah...need to get the signals and fog covers and then its installation time

[nikolaus.conrad]

You need pink zip ties lol

[GTDrifter]

Their ultra jdm

[GTDrifter]

Morette rep headlights are in transit to me via ups =]

[chrish8r]

cant believe i havent commented on this thread yet..... but its coming together real nice. and hope the swap goes smooth whenever it goes down.

[GTDrifter]

Holding off on the swap until I'm done college cause you always have a breakdown and I can't deal with that right now

[nikolaus.conrad]

2.2s never breakdown, wish I had one...

[GTDrifter]

Don't say that...I've broken down once because my alternator bolt snapped, dropped the alt and I lost all power

[nikolaus.conrad]

That sucks dude, I'm glad you got it fixed!

[GTDrifter]

Yeah...that was about a year ago, simple fix

[nikolaus.conrad]

Zip ties? :smt040

[GTDrifter]

No, tied a rope around the alt, lifted it up and secured it to my strut bar...horray for mods!!!

[nikolaus.conrad]

That's awesome!

[GTDrifter]

You going to dennys Wednesday?

[nikolaus.conrad]

I'm working sadly, next next Wednesday maybe! And I'll be on time this time.

[GTDrifter]

Good lol

[GTDrifter]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/01/IMAG0548-1.jpg

[geckoboy86]

To me, looks kinda weird. I think you need some darker turns lenses.

[GTDrifter]

or colormatch the black as xoSubieLegacyxo suggested

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

since your not using your HIDS, can I buy them from you?

[GTDrifter]

i just gotta buy new bulbs lol

[chrish8r]

chad, get them from ddmtuning. they are only like 45 bucks and have quality reviews

[GTDrifter]

chad, I'm looking on ebay for the kit I have...it was only $30

[nikolaus.conrad]

I agree with darkening the turn signal lens

[GTDrifter]

fine...I already have one stocker that's tinted...I'll do the other one and throw them on in a week when I go home...haters lol

[nikolaus.conrad]

Hahahaa I just think it looks weird when the turn signals are on lol

[GTDrifter]

would it make things better if I put my blue bulbs back in my corner lights? (my turn signals are in the bumper and side of fender lol)

UPDATE:
Still waiting for one of my friends to get out to New Jersey to pick up the JDM grill I bought off him. The RS bumper will be finished by next Sunday at the latest and am just waiting on fund to get bumper signals and fog lights or covers. Once the battery tie down come in it'll get installed. As for my headers and stromung midpipe I'm giving up on them for a while because my friend that was supposed to weld them months ago still didnt finish his car and keeps getting more parts so I doubt he'll weld it together anytime soon. This weekend I'll be installing tinted corners to make the new headlights look less out of place.

[GTDrifter]

Corners have been tinted
bumper and lip is finished, not perfect but finished
tomorrow I get turn signals and foglights for the bumper so I plan to install it tomorrow

[nikolaus.conrad]

I demand pics!

[GTDrifter]

its dark...you'll have to wait til its all installed...plus I'll be metalcasting my fogs yellow

Isn't this the same bumper you had when you got the car?

What's up with the corner light hanging over the edge of the bumper? It doesn't look like it fits right.

[GTDrifter]

It's not the same exact bumper but basically yes it's the same bumper. The corner light wasn't installed right when I took the pic but it's fixed now.

[GTDrifter]

So I just ordered Hella 500FFs. They should be here thursday but I have a feeling they won't be here til friday. I hope to get them mounted on the bar this weekend and might wire them in as well. Also my tie down is in transit. I know there was an issue with the paint so it's getting powdercoated by my roommate. I'll keep updating.

[GTDrifter]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/02/IMAG0599-1.jpg
Here's what happened, sold my old books to amazon, they got wet in transit and were in unacceptable condition at amazon. I complained that they should have insurance on their packages and they technically cost me money for not having the insurance (plus I had a shipping center package them so it should have been done properly) so they gave me the money anyway.
Long story short, here are my $1.70 Hella 500FFs :smt023

yeah, my mother hasn't stopped saying "well if you didn't lower the car you wouldn't have hit the road" all weekend. It wasn't so much the car being too low as it was me driving too fast to make it past the dip.

Went too install and the push rivets were too small, went and got the next size up and those were too big so tomorrow I'll get yet another set and hope they work. Test fitted them on and they will sit LOOOOOOOOW.

Don't scrape them off :wink:

Installed them. fronts are held in with clips so I drove on some harsh roads to see if they would scrap off and they're good. then drove at 90mph on the highway to make sure higher speed wont pull them off and they're still good. the fronts are about an inch off the ground

a little update...after saying "I'm done with exterior mods" and "I need money for rent" I've decided to make my hoodscoop bigger. Why? Cause it'll help compliment the WRC wing and modding is like a disease. I got a stock RS scoop of a friend (same car that my bumper, fogs, hood, and wing came off of) for free and have to repaint it anyway. I just made the markings for where I'm gonna cut it so I'll probably start that next week.

[nikolaus.conrad]

All you needed was another hood scoop, but I can't wait to see it when it's finished!

[GTDrifter]

The hoodscoop I want is $175...I can get fiberglass for $3 for a 1'x3' sheet

If I could sell both scoops before I start cutting I'll get the one I want of bakemono still sells them

EDIT: I might just use a heat gun to round out the top of the RS scoop for now depending on if I feel like fiberglassing or not.

[GTDrifter]

So I started making the scoop bigger. I have to make it even bigger and warp the sides back into alignment. Here's some pics (sorry for the dark installed pic, I was talking on the phone while taking them so my flash wasn't allowed to work)

Fixed the scoop and screwed my thumb up doing so but its freshly painted and looking pretty good. Also I got a good deal on coilovers so I'll be picking them up thursday. Then I think I'm really done with buying pricier mods so I can pay rent lol

[GTDrifter]

granted its not a great pic but this is what the seller sent me. I'll get better pics tomorrow after I pick them up.

[GTDrifter]

well the deal on the coilovers fell through but he said he got a set of bilstein coilovers he'll sell me instead so we'll see what goes down with those

[GTDrifter]

UPDATE: Got a new amp thanks to Chad so once I get my subs from my parents house I'll be pissing off the old guy downstairs. Also, MOAR PICS!!!
