    Zack's '12 OBP STi Hatch, Da Money Pit

    Torque Solutions pitch stop came yesterday..really nice piece. Well made out of billet aluminum, nice bushings...I'm really impressed with the quality, especially for the price! GS TMIC should be delivered today and my Zeitronix ECA kit is coming Friday. Only thing left is my Crawford AOS...

    Bone stock 05 wrx/sti

    Good stuff dude, those numbers may never be beat!!! :lol: But in all seriousness, how's the car running? Everything good to go and all broken in?

    Zack's '12 OBP STi Hatch, Da Money Pit

    Just paid the guy for the GS unit so I have a shiny (BNIB even) I/C on the way...this write-up sold it for me: http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticles/ID/3265/Tested-GrimmSpeed-Subaru-Top-Mount-Intercooler.aspx Again, I know it's not as good as the ETS but for half the price I'm willing to give...

    (WV) FS: RCE Yellow springs 2008-2014 STi BNIB

    Really good price on these and if my driveway wasn't so steep I'd be all over it. Definitely can't afford to lower my car otherwise I'll scrape backing or pulling in unfortunately. GLWS, btw I'm originally from WV, born/raised near Buckhannon.

    So I may be able to swing a GS TMIC, I may have just found a slightly used one that I think I can afford. I know it's not as good as the ETS/Spearco but it's still an upgrade over stock and it should help me squeeze a few extra ponies until I go rotated. We'll see if the dude responds and...

    Thanks Spamby, I was getting ready to ask you what tester to get. I'll go around and test ethanol in the next couple weeks and see what station has the best and report back. Hopefully I'll have good news... Edit: Just ordered the E-85 tester, should be here next week. Anxious to see what...

    Will do, thanks for the pointers. There's supposedly one station here that sells true E-85 year round according to my friend...but I have my doubts. He has been running a E-85 tune for 20k miles with no issues though, can't remember what time of year he got tuned though...I'll chat with him...

    Zack's '12 OBP STi Hatch, Da Money Pit

    Yeah I'd love to upgrade the TMIC now too but I really just don't want to because I think I'm going to go rotated in a year or so...so it'd be a waste of money. I know I could re-sell it but I won't get what I paid and I just am having a hard time wanting to do it for the extra 10-20 ponies...

    Zack's '12 OBP STi Hatch, Da Money Pit

    So had an interesting trip to Lowe's this evening, I was sitting at a traffic light on a busy road and a dude in a Dodge Dakota pulled up next to me (I had my windows down) and stopped to ask me if my exhaust was stock. I said no, it's a full 3" Magnaflow and he commented on how awesome it...

    What is the purpose of an EWG muffler?

    That's about what mine sounds like, I'll see if I can get a video at some point so you guys can hear it. Suprised I haven't had the 5-0 attention yet...just a matter of time though, they check me out all the time, I just shift into neutral and roll...lol :D

    GR Hiimaninja's GVB Jon Snow Build

    Good stuff and I hear ya on the cold part. Finally warming up here in MD, was able to get out fishing today and actually catch a few...felt good! Sounds like you have a good plan laid out, just make sure you have the money put aside to build the motor when it goes. I'm sure you know that but...

    GR Hiimaninja's GVB Jon Snow Build

    Sweet ride dude, can't wait to see the pics with the new wheels installed. As far as your upgrade plans on the first page, I'd definitely add injectors/fuel pump to your list when you do your headers...that's what is going to limit you power wise and it certainly makes the power increase much...

    New to the site true lover of the sti

    Welcome, definitely stick with the stock valve. If you want to hear the stocker, switch out the intake. AEM and Cobb make the best (IMO) for the car...if you get the Cobb make sure you get the airbox as well. Oh and you'll need a tune as well so it's definitely not a cheap mod. One thing...

    Why would they sell this car for so little if they actually invested so much?

    Bang pretty much nailed it...though you can sometimes find the right suitor for a heavily modified car and recoup some of what you put into it. If I remember correctly there's a site out there just for selling modded cars and people have some success there. But to be honest, I wouldn't buy my...

    Loading Issues

    Site loads super quick for me but I have a huge pipe both at home and at work. It does seem to be loading faster on my phone now (I don't like Tapatalk) so I'd say whatever you've done has helped some.

    Thank you for the outpouring of support (No longer an issue)

    My family will definitely keep you in our thoughts and prayers buddy. Sounds like things are on the mend but keep your chin up, everything happens for a reason and you'll end up better off in the end. If you need anything just give me a shout bud!

    20G or Dom 1.5?

    Thanks for confirming my though path on the Dom, pretty sure that's what I'll go with but I'm in no rush...I know once I go this path it speeds up me building my engine so I think I'll likely wait until the fall or early next year. As far as the Dom 3, I really don't want that big of a turbo...

    20G or Dom 1.5?

    So while I'm getting ready to do suspension upgrades, I figured I'd pose the question on the turbo upgrade path in case I go that route next year. So I've pretty much narrowed it down to a stock location replacement and either the 20G or the Dom 1.5. All my research is pushing me towards the...
