Well, I've been visiting the forums for about five years now so I figured it was time to start chronicling my car. I picked up a 2006 Black WRX Limited at Classic subaru in the late summer of 2006. After a few initial mods I left it pretty much alone until earlier this year. Now the mod bug has bitten again and my current end goal is a 300 whp daily driver that will still be loads of fun on the track. Current Mods: Kartboy Short shifter Cobb AP Stage II CNT Version II Downpipe ERZ Catback exhaust 24mm 3-way adjustable RSB 27mm 2-way adjustable FSB Kartboy rear endlinks Perrin front endlinks Whiteline Steering rack bushings BC BR Coilovers Prosport Halo Boost and oil pressure gauges Rota Hyper Black G-forces (17x8 with 235/40 S-Drives) Next on list: Various Bushings VF-43 Big TMIC EBCS Sound deadening Alcantara stuff from Alex Now for some pictures. Will add more as I get/take them.

They are friggin sweet. I've never been a huge fan of the gauge pods where the clock is. The only real issue with the bezel pod is that you won't see when your gas light comes on and the plastic it is made of really isn't high quality. I sanded mine down and hit it with a few layers of satin black. Looks a lot better than it did.
Today....a new (to me) AC compressor. And coilovers. Before. Mind the gap. In Progress No more gap Thanks to the guys at Allpro for all the work. New shop is going to be awesome.
Good. Like coilovers though. I'll get them dialed in to where I want them. Brandon was very patient explaining how to set them up.
They are coilovers, so not incredibly forgiving. With the sway bars set the way I have them it's very flat, I'm probably going to put the front sways on the softest setting and put my rear on the middle hole. It's a bit bouncy on the highway but I haven't adjusted the dampening at all. Getting some creaking from the rear but that is probably just rsb needing some grease. Overall good, just need to get it adjusted just right. Might have to raise it up about half an inch because of the streets in downtown.
The car looks incredible! Did they clean it for you or is it still shining from the other day when you put the product on there? Can't wait to see it in person w/ the new set up! AllPro's shop looking good? I need to get over there soon!
I wiped it down with the two in the pink earlier that morning. I really dig it. Takes like 15 minutes to wash and wax my car
Had to raise it up a small bit tonight. Was bottoming out in my parking garage. 1/2 inch in the back, 3/4 in the front. And the creaking in the back is gone after lots of lube on the RSB.
I think pretty damn good, not as slammed as before (I think there was only about 3/4's of an inch of room left to drop on the front) but definitely nice and low. I will say this, doing all of that without a lift is not fun. Especially when my jack wouldn't get under the car anymore. Had to break out the wood boards. Heading down to the beach Saturday so I'm sure I'll take some fun pictures while I'm there.
