Default My baby.

I went down to NC to get my car in October of 2006 with my dad. It wasnt that bad of a drive, especially on the way home with her. We stopped by a Walmart and I got a key copied (only gave me one) and got some Stadium Arcadium to listen to. I think by April of 2007 I had gotten my Apex'i catback from a member on here. I've been doing all of the maintenance for her and have been loving her ever since I picked her up. Ill add more later.

Started life like this:



That was my 1st car in front of the suby. '92 Saturn SL. 199,8XX miles. Sold it to a friend's sister for fairly fairly cheap.

Oh I forgot I got a coupe wing around christmas before the Apex'i exhaust. hehe



And for christmas, I got some stereo jank. Kenwood Head Unit, Infiniti Speakers all around.





Heres a pic with the Apex'i exhaust and I took off the the " S U B A R U "



And black out bumper signals/ vents Clear corners too. (ebay ftw)



Got some spats from a member on here, but they came in rbp, so I painted them black.
I think they came out fairly decent.





My friend and I decided to paint my stockers gunmetal so we did that one day. What a PITA. It didnt turn out that great, so we're going to redo them eventually. But for now, they look good from farther away.





I almost forgot I put in Borla headers. They were awesome! the true subaru sound. Took em off to sell for the swap ahead..




Oh yea, I did the flat fuel door setup install, but dont have any pics of the install. Tried to get the door painted, but it came out a little off. Im colorblind as it is and I can even tell its off without the help of everybody telling me its a different color.


Got a yellow badge. For some reason I like blue and gold/yellow. And some ebay foglight covers. I keep forgetting these things!



And as she stands now..





For a little while

And the end of her life.

My car sat with the key in the ignition for about 10 months. I tied these 2 wires together and hooked up the batter and i got my key back. So thats one of the thing you can do for the auto to manual swap i guess?



Thought this was a cool pic



Plugged this bitch in



Which leads to



and left the other plug unplugged



cranked her up after that and my girl ran awesome! Been sittin for about 12 months, with old gas, old oil and a new 5 speed, she still ran awesome. I was so stoked to get her running again, even though she has no plates and a February 09 inspection sticker. Oh yea my dad got me new tires for some wrx rims i picked up a while back.

Heres a pic i took after i backed her out of the garage.
