    wait, are you sticking that whole monitor in there? Isn't that going to kind of take out your HVAC?

    Ill refuse from any dirty comments, but yes, its the size of the double din...so no problems with fitmet at all. But there is always some room for extended modifications ;)

    ah yeah, forgot about that bit.

    Well it would be cool if it was touch screen and then figuring out a way to have on screen HVAC controls. I thought about doing it once, but the amount of effort turned me away :wiggle:

    Well it is touch screen, but I will not be doing that ;)

    Basically a gift, thought I'd hang on to it as it is light years beyond what the factory boost solenoid is capable of doing.

    The other goodies I picked up as well, however, everything but the avcr is going up for sale. Be sure to let me know if you are interested in the BOV or the SAFCII

    Wheels should be in the country, specifically at the shop in Miami on Monday ;)

    Also, thanks to Salmonsalad, I'll be picking up a WRX wing later this week. I figured it couldnt hurt to have some partial spec-c ness before I make the plunge into an actual spec-c / s202 / s203 wing :D
     
  11. Greg

    Greg Active Member

    Ah... S202
     
  12. Alex

    Alex Community Founder Staff Member

    S203 is more appropriate, and would you look at that, someone makes a replica ;)

    Its dissambled on the kitchen table currently. Whomever Salmonsalad picked it up from before did some janky work on it. He had a TR, and from the holes and such in the trunk, had the WRX wing put on. Its fine except there is 1 full stud, 1 3/4 full stud, 1 1/2 full stud and 1 broken stud. It looks like the body shop or whomever used JB weld to hold the stud in and eventually it just broke off. I dont see it as a big deal, the wing still seats fine. Its also apart so I can clean it up nicely and debage the subaru, remains of the WRX emblem and the impreza deal. If you're interested in the lettering let me know.

    The main reason I went after a 06 trunk was for that badge. Unlike the rest of you, I actually like it. Its definately different when placed on a 04-05. Also, its nice to have another wing should I stumble across the s203 replica I want sometime in the near future :D

    Sweet man! I also like the center badge on the 06+'s.

    Get all your GT information worked out dude?
     
  18. jonnyboy0150

    jonnyboy0150 Member

    Actually, yeah. There happened to be a college fair at Gainesville that following week. I talked with the GT guy and I found out that I meet all of the requirements except Physics. So basically, I won't be able to transfer early like I had hoped. But its all good.
     
  19. WHAT!!!!!thats terrible. I'm so sorry. Please tell me at least the trunk is still useable. I should have inspected it more before shooting off with my mouth and telling you that it was mint. That stud damage is way worse than I initialy thought. Let me know if it becomes a big deal. again sorry.

    Hey "Salmonfacesalad", I'll buy that front lip from you ;) Also... I have to know where you got that name...
    I'm done thread jacking now :)
     
  21. Believe it or not the lip is on SubiNoobi's 2.5i sport wagon as we speak. as far as salmonfacesalad goes...it's a dish I came up with whilst in culinary school, AIA.:drool:

    Its no problem dude, I'm still enjoying fishing out the bolt inside the wing. Its like when you drop a pick into an acoustic guitar.

    I HATE that! Seems when I was having a good day, I'd turn it over and shake once..viola. If I was having a shitty day, I'd have to shake it for about 30 seconds:rofl:

    (I'm speaking in past tense because my guitar was stolen from my home in a break-in a couple weeks ago)

    Turn over, shake shake shake...argh. Hate that. I've had a few stuck in there, for weeks. :D

    wrxin8or Mullitt Staff Member

    haha yeah when WJM and I swapped trunks, we lost the backing that holds the lock on....yeah when i took off out of SoG I definitely heard it clanking around...I found it about 3 weeks later haha
     
  26. Lay the guitar flat on its back and shake it around until you can see the pick is opposite the strings on the bottom of the body, then swing the guitar in an arc until upside down - using the force of the swing to keep the pick in place on the back of the body - then stop with it right above your head, strings facing down. The pick usually falls right on top of the strings. sometimes it falls on my head... :rofl:

    pEd This ain't no Piccadilly!

    Looks good alex. Would've liked to see you keep it wingless though.

    Makes quite a difference not having that wing floating around in your rear view mirror doesn't it.

    I like it. Now you can have a track trunk and a street trunk.

    spec-c badging is next perhaps? This is off an 04 spec-c, fairly straight forward. Here are some shots of an actual rally delivery model 04 spec-c (16 in wheels, non Brembos, manual DCCD, no ABS).

    Here's the rear end of a genuine RA, I love that wing mmmm

    ^^^ Except I know that you'd swap that nasty amber turn signal bulb out with a chrome one if that was your car. Did spec Cs come without locks?

    Spec C trunks are full "Lightweight" aluminum and reuse old locks

    Thats impossible. You can never win, and even if you do, no one will ever see your posts about it ;) The spec c trunk weighs around 11lbs :D

    On the right car yes, on 99% of cars they just look like a dated design from 1999.

    white wheels would be SO hard to keep nice...I'd have to wipe them down every day...I think they can be pulled of on a white car though IMO
