HISTORY

In 2004, I got a 2000 Impreza OBS which was not only my first car, but also my first subaru. However, I only had that for 4-5 months until I wrecked it. Very minimal mods on it (KB short shifter, etc)

After waiting (and looking) for 6 more months, I finally came across a '99 RS coupe. I picked it up from a local Honda stealership for $9,500 in August of '05. Right after buying it, I put on an L hood and took off the rear wing. I ran it like that for a while.

And this is where everything really started to take off. I'm going to do the best I can to summarize what happened in the best detail possible between when I bought the car and now. After that, I will continue to update this thread as time goes along.

2005/2006 UPDATE

I got a set of STi wheels/tires, Prodrive P1 springs, kyb agx's, jdm V7 WRX seats then later a Corbeau forza, and a lot more. Got rear ended by a dump truck this year and got a lot of fresh paint and JDM tails out of it.

Later I traded for a set of Gold STi wheels.

Trancet · 10-04-2007, 01:01 PM

So how do you like the corbeau seats?

Danny Boy · 10-04-2007, 01:03 PM

2007 UPDATE

I got lots of new stuff. H&R springs, 4pot/2pots, spats, new prodrive P1's with RE070's (225's) along with a bunch of other things.

Danny Boy · 10-04-2007, 01:10 PM

2008 UPDATE PART I

Coilovers, wingless again, and some more.

Not so much. Great for the money, though. I just couldn't deal with how uncomfortable it was since this is my DD as well as my auto-x toy. Now I'm looking for JDM V5/6 seats.

'04 STi wheels are 5x100 and the right offset. It's the tires that won't fit. 225's will rub. I've had all 4 fenders rolled. You only need the rear two rolled to fit 225's unless you're reaaallllly low. I rolled the fronts since I'm going to run 245's next summer.

$2.15 for regular, eh? haha sounds good to me

That's a mean drop though in the one pic of just the front wheel.
