Looks Good how much boost does that thing make stock? and those things sound nasty with launch control... you should get it and launch it under full boost. ;) ;)

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

That is launching under full boost. 14psi.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Got my road tune today, this is what it put down on the road dyno program that the tuner had on his laptop, he said the torque is probably quite a bit off, I don't remember why though.

Here it is:

I'll post up comparisons of my DB Dyno sheet tomorow after the Dyno Day.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

well, I have looked absolutely everywhere and connot find a green wideband gauge to match my stock gauges. Stupid prosport doesn't make one that is green/white, only the premium and ugly LCD ones. So, does anybody know of a analog wideband that is white, then changes to green while the lights are on? I really like the way the G3/LC-1 looks, but it doesn't change colors. If I could get one like that it would be sweet.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

PLX makes a ton of gauge options, check them out.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

The auto in your WRX is sucking up a lot of power.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Good way to combat that... big turbo!!!

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

What springs are those?

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

I believe they are Tien. Something like a 2" drop in front a 1" in back.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

I vaguely recall him saying Tein H.Tech.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

H-Techs typically drop it only 1 inch and are quite stocklike in ride. I had them on the M3, not bad. S-Techs are usually red..

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

S.Techs are green and I think the H.Techs are yellowish right? I miss my green springs :(

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Huh weird, I think mine were dark yellow or gold, like in the pic above. Ive only seen red S techs. hmm

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

They are the H series. I'm not too sure on the drop but it looks pretty nice how it sits now. Got it all wrapped up a little while ago. Hopefully, Mike can get it in for an alignment and then he should be ready to put some miles on it!

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Yup, they are Tein H-Techs, they drop it 1.8 front and .8 rear, I love the way the car sits now!! I'll be going to Tires Plus in the morning for an alignment, then I will post pics after that.


PLX is all digital, I am really looking for an analog, needle style gauge.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Ok, after my alignment I took some shots of the car. Here is some before and after pics of it.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Wow, looks a lot better!

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

I like it!

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Looks good, I'll have to do that to mine.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

How does the ride compare to Janelle's Prokits?

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Lookin good!

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

^^A little tiny bit bouncier I think. I'll have to get some STi shocks, and finish the combo here for a real nice ride. It seems right now though that its a smoother ride than it was before, not really a bad thing I guess, considering 6 months from now I'll be hauling my baby around iun the back seat.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Tinted my tails this last weekend, I used the VHT Niteshades spray tint.

As you can see, even though they are tinted pretty dark, the light still comes through really well.


Here is some more pics in the daylight as requested.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Oooo sexy! How does it look in the daylight? Moar pics!

Id like to tint mine but its not really reversible.. so im iffy on it.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

If you're looking for a more reversible option to tail light tainting, you should look into these.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Thanks for the link! Yea I was thinking about getting overlays for the headlights, just havent checked them out yet.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

OK, I added MOAR pics to the previous post as requested.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

How well can you see the brakes in the daylight I think Peter was asking about. Looks good though.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Been a while since I've done anything to this pile, lol.

This last week or so I have picked up a few things for it though.

- ERZ Downpipe
- Ebay Up-pipe
- This carbon fiber exhaust sheild that Jannelle needs:

- And this Saweeet deal on this Seibon CF grille for $100 ( retails for over $200)
http://mnsubaru.com/forums/attachmen...1&d=1257210628


I'll update as I get some of this crap installed.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Painted the ugly silver mesh black today:

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Hows the car feel with that up/downpipe combo? Are you planning on getting it tuned?

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Haven't gotten any of it on yet, still waiting on shipping :(

Only thing to show up so far is the downpipe

Still waiting on a whole slew of stuff to show up that I ordered last week:

-Uppipe
-Tein badge for grille
-CF exhaust thing
-Domo doll :D





And yes I will be getting it tuned by Nate (Bullwinkle)from MNSubaru again, he is one of the few non-douche members over there and know shis shit.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Why a Tein badge?

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Cause I'm a ricer and have Tein springs...

Seriously though, it should look pretty nice, if not then it'll come off, it was only 8 bucks so I figured what the hell.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

LOL ok.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Got my uppipe and downpipe this weekend, also installed my little carbon fiber exhaust sheild.


Up-pipe:

Downpipe:

Also had to re-adjust my front bumper a bit because it just didn't seem to fit right for some reason. We took the bumper off Saturday night and discovered a little damage, and this car was obviously in some sort of wreck in the past, here are some pics. Nothing too major, but it explained the bumper not fitting quite right.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...t/IMG00273.jpg

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...t/IMG00272.jpg

Like I said nothing too major, now it looks much better than it did before and will also allow this new grill to look even nicer.


This also showed up on Friday, took about 10 minutes to install and I think it looks pretty nice and will actually be funtional once my new exhaust parts get installed.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

I would sand a spray those welds, had the same deal on one of my cars, and the weld rusted out and broke. Rustoleum and a new weld fixed the issue.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

Does anyone make one of those exhaust heatshields w/o all the pre-drilled screw holes?

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
 

No idea, I guess to me it didn't really matter having the rivets there cause my car is already silver and it matched good
