    Those wheels look like the crazy JDM Compomotive wheels. Nice choice on a rare rim!

    welcome to the boards.

    Nice looking car and good choice on mods.

    I think Troncalli **still** has your old Spec-V sitting out there for sale.

    Thanks for the compliments. Just installed rear sway bar and red lugs. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. If anyone has had any experience with perrin, cobb, or really any endlinks, let me know thru PM.

    Just whether you have a set you like and would recommend to people. I'm thinking about the Agency Power ones.

    AR97STU, your car and mine are like twins except mine is CGM color. I also have that same Invidia cat DP, Cusco sways, and flex coilovers. However, you're ahead on me on the wheels and tires. I need to get some but I'm gonna save up.

    Yeah, CWS so I can help WRXAtl wax the other clubs. :keke:

    If your running Sunday, put WRXAtlanta as your sponsor and CWS as your car model. That way your STU times will count for both classes.....if you want. :D

    Is your Dad driving too?

    Oh if you need help or anything with the Flex's, LMK.

    Yeah, I talked to him today. He said he was traveling and would have to miss it. Just let me know when you guys want to work on the car and if I'm in Atlanta, I'll be happy to help out.

    No problem man. You really did help. Hopefully we'll be in the same run group next time.

    I can't, maybe Trey can. It's just deep and throaty. Awesome is the only way I can think to describe it.(Maybe an excuse to make another sound clip;-) )

    I call it jekell and hyde. It's nice a quiet poot'n around but sounds like a beast when you rip on the gas.

    I hate the normal fart can exhausts that most suby owners have and this one is the exact opposite IMO. No need for the added attention. The wing alone is enough rice for me. :D

    Nice Joey! Congrats on the coilovers. I'm sure you can't wait until the 12th to put them to the test. :D
