[Quadsbc]

wow quite the mod list, I cant wait to see where this car is in 6months

[CTATV]

wow. you have more stuff on your list than me and ive had mine for a few years

[shtbxr22]

I thank my white car for some of the stuff. :lol:

[mdungelman]

Would you do me a favor and bring that thing to at least one of the SCCNH autocross events in the coming months? I'd love to see how it makes it around the course with those mods. Put it to the test.

[adam]

I like it... you're goin Adam style

[CTATV]

I like it... you're goin Adam style

wouldn't he have to spend exorbitant amounts of money on a cosmetic upgrade (such as a JDM front bumper) to "go Adam"

[jwebsta32]

once you go adam you dont go back

[boxxer joe]

spec b's FTW ever since adam had his done I have fallen in love and want one of these down the road. sick car man keep up the good work :up:

[CTATV]

once you go adam you dont go back

or it never stops itching...

[Aczwild]

its unfortunate though that he cant do a JDM swap unless he really wants to go broke.

Nice list, suspension and handling mods are the way to go on these cars if you really want to have fun. Powers second and I'm glad you learned that with your old Legacy as I did with mine

[shtbxr22]

[DHGurs]

[The Internet]

[Seraphinwolf]

Lookin good Mike :)

[adam]

Hi Mike :lol:

[shtbxr22]

Hi Jack. ;)

[CTATV]

25mm Front Sway Bar

:lol: nice...

Ive been thinking about doing sways some day on my car....

I did coilovers on it that tightened up the steering and body roll a hell of a lot already so i havent been in a rush to throw on sways

[shtbxr22]

coilovers would be nice. :)

[CTATV]

coilovers would be nice. :)

yeah they made it feel like a completely different car... lowering it a little bit was an added bonus. the BC coilovers (BR series) can be had for 10000 or a little bit less. Josh at Import Image sold me my set. I also did the Perrin LCA bushings as well

[squeethebee]

$10,000 coils, they must be good!

ed

[shtbxr22]

what a bargain!!! :lol:

[itsmy04wrx]

Wow nice mod list!

[shtbxr22]

Thanks!! just got back from stage 2 tuning. jesus christ this thing is fast!! preliminary road dyno numbers puts it at 284 whp. waiting on further calculations from bren.

[jmb1983]

You want fast? I'll give you fast if, you lick me where I pee!

[RCKSTR]

you wanna go drag racing friday night :hide:

[Seraphinwolf]

Says the man who said "I hate the STi suspension cause it's too stiff."
You will have to do a lot of shopping to find a soft enough Coilover set up or make your own to match something soft enough for you. But I doubt you didn't already know that.

[shtbxr22]

fine. :unamused: is that us in your avatar?:rofl:

[shtbxr22]

The only reason I would run coilovers is to jam some 275's under the car. if i could find them, then i'd suffer the back pain. ;) My bilsteins feel so good anyways. i'll suffice with my skinny ass 245's :lol:

[jmb1983]

fine. :unamused: is that us in your avatar?:rofl:

yeah you are the brown one

Yeah sounds good. Only reason I went with coilovers on the SVX was I didn't have many other options that would cut out as much body roll as possible. Though there are finally a few more options and I may rebuild and follow more the setup i'm building in the wagon.

[shtbxr22]

yeah you are the brown one

yeah, i figured that. :spin:

[shtbxr22]

And bren tuned to 309whp/357wtq. will be quite a bit more stout with the BNR Billet 18g/injectors combo that is in the near future. :D

[hiprsha666]

Nice. I've only seen a couple guys do the bnr 18g. I look forward to the results.

[Subyspeed]

I :wub: this car

[shtbxr22]

[Nrw]

I love tilt shift photos

[hiprsha666]

clean off your lense man... its all blurry :lol:

[shtbxr22]

This was my inspiration. looks way cooler than mine. almost like a sooper detailed model.

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m194/star91281/wm_normal_od0084_777198.jpg

[hiprsha666]

i like yours better to be honest

[shtbxr22]

I meant the photo quality, not the car. ;)

[shtbxr22]

and thank you. :)

[hiprsha666]

oh, well then..... :lol:

subway... :unamused:

ruins the pic.

I think if you made the blur less obvious it would look better. Right now it is kind of just a line and it looks to purposeful. I like the idea though

[DHGurs]

You were right by Espresso's too, that automatically makes your picture 10,000 times better.

[jmb1983]

Bob's is better. Nuff said.

[boxer3maine]

I love tilt shift photos

my car in photos does that with no tricks.
not sure what it is yet. never quite adult.
:lol:

using gimp and a proper backgrounded photo, blend a blur.

I used to play around with that stuff.

[98Wagoon]

a friend asked me today "do people do much to legacies, like mod-wise?"



my reply was "apparently you've never seen shtbxr's car....."

[toomanytoyz]

Man Eric, your car is the balls! Hope I get to see it sometime. If only you lived closer! lol

[shtbxr22]

I live in Hudson. :lol:

[arcadia25]

Thats pretty close, lol

I like the shots personally

[Bu11dogg2]

I live in Hudson. :lol:


OMG I SAW YOU IN PUBLIC!!! hi :)
