RSutton's 2011 SSM WRX Hatch Progress

I wouldn't think he would want wheels that match Shiring's hair.

 

I'm with Hawk on this...BBS CX would look sweet.

Or even something from Modulare Wheels

 

The pic above are actually ForgeStar F14's.

 

nice. congrats on the new purchase.

 

I designed these last week.

 

be sure to get it in 22"

 

20x9 +38mm front 275 PSS 20x11 +51mm rear 305 PSS

 

a 275 will fit onto a 20X9? Wouldnt a 20X10 be optimal?

 

Great taste!!!

 

Typo. Should have been 255. The same width I am running right now on my 9.5's.

 

Audio is set for the V.

LPG aluminum dome tweeters
Scan-Speak Discovery 4" Mid Range in factory dash location
JL Audio ZR800-CW 8" Mid Bass driver in the factory front door location
Hertz and PPI Amps
Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.3 Processor

 

JL Audio 12w6v3

 

Stripping apart a car sucks. I found a Mater under my passenger seat. I hope Daniel doesn't lose it when he sees the car in pieces. He really loves it and we have had a lot of great memories in there.

This on the other hand was fun. 6 hours of mountain runs over the past two days because I had to travel for work.

considered the "black chrome" grille?

How does the big girl do? Is the magnaride as functional as they say?

 

All of the chrome is getting redone in black chrome. The calipers are going to be ZR1 blue. The interior is getting blue stitching curtsey of JPM Coachworks...and some other stuff planned.

 

No way we are on the cheap end of the hobby....we are middle ground.

 

Go check NASIOC these days. Most of those cars might as well be modded like old Civics. Everything is cheap knock off parts now. Like any car...you can spend a lot on quality parts if you want to but it seems the knock off stuff is "cool" now. IWSTI is a different story though.

 

Seems like a LOT has changed over the last 4 years.

 

A lot has changed even since I started.

 

So what's involved with 700hp CTS-V? Tune/Exhaust/Pulley/Intake?

 

Oh and if I may I would recommend a new thread just for that sexy CTS-V.

 

Cam, head work, ported snout, injectors, headers, x-pipe, upper and lower pulley, 160 degree stat, heat exchanger, e85, flex fuel sensor...and a couple other misc. things.

 

I thought about cams. Head work is so easy on these cars. It's an amazing engine.

 

Sounds like its going to be insane once its done!

 

I have addiction issues.

 

I think you should start a new build page on here for your CTS-v

 

+1 on a build thread for the cts v

 

alex going to hand re-stitch the stock seats with blue?
lol

 

Yep seats are in the plan. Build thread for this car on a Subaru forum?

 

yes absolutely start a separate thread. We're all auto enthusiasts here and appreciate a nice build.

 

Yes you do. The finery that JPM produces is very addicting. That being said I too have JPM addiction issues :rofl:

 

how you know you're slacking off at work -- Read the first 58 pages of this build LOL...

Great story behind this car. Sad it couldn't stay in its finished state.

 

Off to All Pro to get buttoned up and ready for a new owner. Everything is back to stock except for the bushings and motor. I am having All Pro swap the intake manifolds back and go over everything and make sure it's all good for sale.

 

I saw it there today looking so lonely…but soon it will have a new home.

 

Kind of a sad day. I watched the WRX roll out of the parking lot to a new home. I don't think I have ever had a car that impacted our lives as much as that one did.

- It was the car we had Daniel in and introduced him to speed and motorsports. He has his own Subaru's in the house.
- It was the car my wife would do pulls with and then roll down the window to show the guy next to us that they just got beat by a girl.
- It was the car allowed me to meet friends all over the country that I wouldn't have otherwise.
- It was the car that got me interested in automotive photography.

It was just a really cool car that was a lot of fun to own. It was more than a car...it was a book of memories that I will never forget. Onto the next chapter...

 

Good stuff man, an inspiration to us all for sure.
My STI is helping me make a lot of those same memories as well as we speak.

 

Just be careful. Kids have the "butt dyno" issue too. Apparently the V isn't really fast anymore...it is just fast. Kids... :rofl:

 

I know the feeling. Memories, oh memories. Good and bad. I miss my car every dang day.
