Greetings from Western NY.
Bought my '04 in September of '10 from the Ford dealership I work at. It was a trade in on a '10 GT500, so I decided that after months of having the owner of the dealership look at trying to find me a decent WRX at auctions, (and having it not pan out) we struck up a deal on the STi. Lucky for me he had no interest in the car nor did he really have a clue as to what he had, just what he had into it after putting it through the shop.......see, this is when keeping your mouth shut really comes in handy :wink: I stole this car (figuratively speaking of course).
Details:
Car is PSM, and has as of right now.....54,xxx miles on it. No real mods to speak of outside a set of Epic Engineering lowering springs, an APS Short Ram intake, and a cheap ass cat-back exhaust from PalPerformance (cheap Chinese ebay garbage) that's starting to rust up real nice. Sigh....you get what you pay for, amirite? Anyway.....uh, no tune as of yet.....I know, I know, you NEED to tune that thing is all I keep hearing, but life sucks, and I have a son and a broken wife and a house that I have to take care of. I have a small pile of parts that I have yet to install such as a couple of Prosport gauges (oil psi, boost), a Walbro 255, and COBB shifter bushings. I've also got a couple of MSBS parts for when I finally find someone to swap trunks with me so I can go wingless. Future plans are to get a good catless DP, and finally get that t00n and that will be pretty much it......until the really poor ride qualty gets to me and I send the struts off to FEAL for a rebuild and a revalve to work with the springs. Questions? Comments? Concerns? Ask away. I'll try and give as much info as I can (or as much as my brain will allow me access to).
Let me try to find some decent pics.....
The car currently does not have the STi V-limited lip on it as an afternoon snow drifting session has since removed it for me.
