    I bought this bad boy a couple months ago. It came with 116,000 miles, up to date with all service records.
    Last owner installed:
    Cobb AP stage 1 tune
    Sedan rear sway bar
    Stainless steel brake lines, hawk pads
    Nav Unit
    Subaru "Premium" door speakers
    12'' sub hidden over the spare tire.
    STI short throw shifter
    Blitz Turbo Timer
    Quick release oil drain plug
    Rear Diff skidplate

    And after a short time of owning it, here is how it sits now!

    I installed:
    Rally Armor Mud Flaps
    New OEM shocks and struts (thanks allpro!)
    1/2 inch saggy butt spacers
    Rubber floor mats
    Kuat Vagabond Basket/ Bike rack
    Rockford Fosgate t400-4 amplifier for the door speakers
    Hella Supertone Horn
    And just today I bought a set of Rota Action 17in wheels and tires off a member here. They are in rough shape(rattle canned and worn tires), but will do for now.

    Im loving the car. It does its jobs well, which are hauling my mountain bikes to trails, flying around gravel roads, and avoiding the cops in the burbs of Sandy Springs/Marietta.

    In the future, Id like to
    re-powdercoat the wheels flat black
    Nicer tires
    Turboback exhaust
    intake for sound
    Stage 2 tune
    Stiffer sways and endlinks
    Maybe another 1/2 inch lift in the back. I want the car to be completely level and extra off road clearance would be a major plus.

    Thanks for looking! And look forward to meeting yall next Sunday at Caffeine and Octane!

    That would be sick. I saw the recent thread on here. I would drive the piss out of this car on dirt.

    However, Im on road 95% of the time, so a solid compromise between street/dirt is what I am after.

    Im not gonna lie, I wish I could slam the shit out of it and create a street cornering beast.
