This one is since its the Limited model which means climate control, leather, heated seats, etc. It also has Homelink, an auto-dimming mirror, and an in-dash 6 CD changer so it's pretty well equipped. She has an STI short-shifter in it which feels great; I also really like how the clutch feels compared to the Evo.

You've done more work than I have! I'll remember this when we're installing your exhaust and get to the "time to bust some knuckles and get bloody" part :)

Just wait until I install it myself, with no gloves, and end up with no cuts! I will prove it can be done!!!!

"Could" is the key word there ;)

I think Scheides and I will sit inside and whine about how hungry we are while Janelle and Anna install the exhaust. Ahh sweet sweet revenge :D

I don't care if you soak the bolts in PB Blaster for a week and use cheater bars on the wrenches or air tools, you will get dinged up!

lol i have a buddy that has one thats one his 3rd transmission, granted he drives like an idiot and deserves it ;) Third gear was always the first to go.

Thank you! Too bad that pic was taken before I got my new shift knob... The stock one is kind of ugly.

I doubt a brand new car will have that problem... :P

Nice mods so far!

When Dave Buschur was removing the stock exhaust from his 800-mile WRX he had to torch some of the bolts off :(

Wow thats nuts! After I do exhaust work I always grease the bolts and nuts so they come off easy if they ever need to again.
