Cliff's 99 STM L/WRX coupe

[cliffinator]

So i decided that i would start one of these things not only to whore out my car, but as a place for me to write down all my mods and the history of the car.
It all started out when i blew the second motor that i put into my MKII Supra, i had already swapped in a 7mgte from a 92 Supra turbo so when i developed a loud knock and severe loss of power i decided to get a more reliable DD that would get me around witout any lip unlike the supra was treating me.
A few of my freinds have wrx's so i decided to get a gc8 because i didnt know anyone with one, and they kick ass. After searching and checking out a few cars i decided on a MY99 Black coupe 2.5rs with black leather interior.


But coming from a 3.0 inline six with a turbo i knew i needed to spool, i started saving up for a swap. But when i got an offer i coudent refuse i traded my black coupe(Plus cashola) for a 99 STM L with a 02 WRX swap And other mods(mod list below). So instead of doing all of the swapping im just left with finishing this project, Im excited!

Well, thought i would update this since yesterday i completed the second gear delete mod. best mod to date in my opinion...=[, ..well maybe not. Tranny wont shift int any gears now except first sort of. but hey now its time for a jdm 5 speed or a 6mt.. greaaat.
Anyway, snapped a couple pictures the other day. threw some different rims on her and painted the front bumper, first time painting anything car related and it came out alright. Convince me too keep dumping all my money into my car? haha

nice car man...i really like the 2 tone interior...the best thing i ever did to my L was install painted sideskirts paint the mirrors and the door ding protectors and the door handles

[cliffinator]

Gotta get some more paint mixed up for the mouldings, door handles, and sideskirts. the black is starting to get to me, however tranny takes first priority..
