Western's '13 WRX STi "Sammie"

Love the blue

 

Thanks!

 

I got another mod to add to the current pile of the Anti-Lift Kit and Endlinks: Color-Changing LED Turn Signals for the front. They're white as parking/running lights and then change to amber when you turn on the turn signals or hazards. Hopefully I'll get those installed this week.

Now that I have most of the major suspension components, I think I'm going to turn my attention to the inside and a few things on the outside:
-Full LED interior
-JPM Goodies
-SMY Alcantara Cluster Hood Dual Gauge Pod with STi Logo
-JDM Armrest Extension
-Pioneer AppRadio 4
And Later:
-Prova D-Shaped Alcantara Steering Wheel.

 

I got the 30K service done a few days ago. While I was at AllPro, I had them install anti-lift kit and my end links while they were at it. Man, it's a completely different car! I love it. All the rattling doesn't bother me because I've had nothing but stiff riding cars. If you're used to smooth-ish and your STi is your daily, I definitely don't recommend this mod.

Next, I found a killer deal on one of these that I just couldn't pass up.


I selected the Stage 1 93 Oct. Map, and it's been great. I haven't ragged on it toooo much . It should have come stock like that. Stupid CA and their emissions

Lastly, I bought front LED switchback turn signals, and had a hell of a time getting them in because I ended up dropping one in the headlight bucket :/ Anyway... Here they are:


Unfortunately, with my clear projectors, they don't match up in color with my headlights. I'll look into finding some that do, but I don't know how much variation is out there with a product like that.

Another picture:


Definitely a fun couple of weeks with my car. I'm looking forward to spring mountain runs even more!

Thanks for checking out my Touge-spec build, as always!

She'll be back at AllPro on Tuesday for a certain mod that is way past due! Pictures to come!

 

And the wheels are on! It turned out EXACTLY how I thought/wanted it to look. Now I just have to complete the look with coilovers and finish the lip all the way around (Sides and Rear)

 

Finally fixed the first post and brought the mod list up to date. Not much is new right now due to work and trying to learn how to maintain the new house. The stuff in the garage should go on sometime soon, as well as new pads and rotors all around.

 

Congrats man!!! Glad to see it all coming together

 

Thanks! I feel like she's already come a good distance from stock. Still soo much I want to do!

 

Its been a while since I updated this thread, so here's a few changes since the last time.

The Mods continue to pile up in my garage. They include:
Invidia Catted Downpipe
Cobb Heat Shield
Turbo Blanket
Galvez Customs Canards
JDM Third Brake Light
GT-Spec D-Shaped Steering Wheel
WRB Painted to match Roof Spoiler
CF Rear Bumper Spats
Process West Cold Air Intake
Hawk HP+ Pads
DBA Rotors
Rally Armor Mudflaps.

And a Daily Happened:
01 Honda Prelude. 1 Owner. 146K Miles. 5 Speed.

 

Nice purchase and find on the prelude

 

Thanks! Its a really fun little car and should be a great daily for me. I have a few mods planned for it like wheels, tint, some decent speakers and a head unit, but other than that nothing. I'm hosting an install day next Saturday at my house, so stay tuned for updates from that!

 

Sorry it's again been so long since I updated this! I got an Invidia SS N1 Exhaust, Invidia catted DP, and GT Spec steering wheel installed! Getting a Tune on Wednesday, but till then I am on the AP Stage 2 OTS 93 Map.

Any suspension work done?
I will need to tires soon and am trying to figure out what to put on my 18x9.5 +38

 

Like I told you at the meet, I don't have coilovers yet. I will.... But not yet. AOS, Coilovers, and other things that are still in my garage are next.

Trying to stay active here. A couple of new things to report. 1: Sammie is in the shop getting some repairs done. I'm not going to go into much detail, but she's at PC of Alpharetta. I should have her back in a couple of weeks, and I absolutely can't wait. I
2: I recently upgraded my daily driver to a 15 Forester XT because I found myself needing a lot more space than my Prelude offered. So here she is! I haven't quite nailed down a name yet, but I have ordered my first mod
