    Well some of you might have seen my newbie thread about two months ago or so. I had just gotten back from Iraq and bought this 2002. Here are some pics from what it did look like and now. When I got it, it was pretty much stock except for a cut grill, stainless braided brake lines, Prodrive wing, uppipe and downpipe. Since then I have installed:

    JIC Fully Adjustable Coilovers
    17" BBS Gold Wheels
    3" Turbo Back Exhaust
    STI Top Mount Intercooler
    STI VF39 Turbo
    Perrin Intercooler Kit
    Perrin Turbo Inlet
    Burschur Racing Intake
    STI Pink Injectors
    Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
    ATI Gauge Cluster
    Boost/Oil Pressure Gauges
    WINGLESS!
    And Had Scott at Topspeed tune the car with ECUTEK and 19lbs...

    It is def. a nice car. I enjoy driving it far better than my civic. Well.. dont comment on that last one. Traction is nice! Enough said. I am def. addicted to the madness now. The car is where i want it for power right now because I want to get it as close to cosmetic perfection before i drop money on a block and turbo upgrade.

    Future Plans:
    Larger Hood Scoop
    Sway Bars
    Hella Horns
    Shave the trunk lid and spray the front bumper and side skirts.

    Other than that I appreciate all who looked! Thanks again to those of you who have helped so far with this build and purchasing some of my old parts!

    I have more pics from start to finish but for some reason I cannot upload them. If there is a moderator who can send me there email address I will be more than happy to send them some pics so I can show all of them. Thanks!
