etaks99rs' 05 "STiid"

[My Name]

why are you selling it? are you going to come down to the cruise around the lake?

[apkarian100]

+1 are you going to come down to the cruise around the lake?

[etaks99rs]

Wait, your selling it but you bought a bunch of parts for it?

I bought the parts before I considered selling it.

sad... :(

I know, but I will be replacing it with an 08 Aspen White STi... or a 2010 AW SE if I can find one

why are you selling it? are you going to come down to the cruise around the lake?

I should be able to make it to the lake cruise. I def will be on for a Kanc cruise since I live right here.

I am selling because I need a car that is a little more practical for my habits. After driving my wife's 09 WRX for the last 47 days, it makes so much more sense to have seats that fold down, room to put surfboards/snowboards etc.

[Robk0000]

or room for Rob to sit shotgun when his car is fubar and you have a fully loaded sti with no folding seats.

Glad we think alike Tom!

you must of picked it up to today because i seen it drive by my work.

maybe keep the car and pick up a daily driver works great for me.

[Nonlinear Bump]

Yeah, that'd work, but it's expensive.

[etaks99rs]

I picked the car up yesterday and drove it directly to Bren to get my car retuned. RE-DICULOUS!!!

[AllWheelsDriven]

Torque was surprising but the weather was really good last night so I'm sure that helped. I've hit 400wtq on a dynapack with a header/tmic 07 STi before.

20psi peak in 4th gear tapering to 15.0 at redline.

[etaks99rs]

cleared out the garage enough to fit the car in! :D

[Seraphinwolf]

Congrats on getting her home!

[etaks99rs]

yeah she needs some clay action on some overspray but all in all, she came out better than expected. I have to bring her back in for a small touch up, other than that, you can't tell I even flipped her over.

[etaks99rs]

put the thrust bearings on the front coilovers and it is a whole new car! no spring noises and no pull! AWESOME!

[Seraphinwolf]

So when you gonna get the GR?

[etaks99rs]

^ not this month. hopefully sometime this winter. I want to do it before march though so I don't have to register this car then register a newer car. I would rather not spend extra $ if I don't have to.

[etaks99rs]

Took the car in yesterday to get my rear coilover replaced. Now they are both new. I am also trying to get the lighting guru to make my radio blue to complete my interior finally. After that, I'm going for Dec ROTM and then up on the market.

[Berge56]

awesome dude! We need some updated pics!

[etaks99rs]

for reals! I will be doing a photo shoot in time for dec ROTM. Actually, Berge... you want to take some sweet photos? I know you do some sweet time lapse...

[etaks99rs]

[DHGurs]

It's that time of year. The blue looks great on the radio, it looks like it matches perfectly.

[etaks99rs]

Since I didn't win ROTM, she is going up for sale. Now, I'll have to start over... Thanks a lot guys...

This is why you don't get rid of things! Just get new ones and have a stable. :P

[Air_Jordan99]

Stables are always nice

[Seraphinwolf]

When you have the space and funds... :-/ I need to reduce my stable...

[etaks99rs]

I did not have the funds...
