[Siper2]

I guess this is a topic that's earned repetitiveness in a few forums across the car-lovers' UBB world, but here I sit, bored to death, and writing down a "wish list" for my car.

Whose new name is "******," by the way. Long story.

So, let's see what we have, here.....

Existing mods!

- Kartboy short shifter & bushings
- Kartboy Knuckleball shift knob, silver
- Black leather/red stitch boots for shifter & e-brake from www.ricks2k.com (my i-Club group buy)

- STi/FHI Version 5 suspension (struts & springs)
- Whiteline 18-22mm adjustable rear swaybar
- Whiteline front strut tower brace
- K&N air filter
- Dunlop SP9000 tires (OEM size on OEM wheels)
- 22B knockoff hood vents
- Silver mesh grille kit from ChosenWon

Things I want badly, but may never afford! :happynow:

- Cobb Tuning. As much as I can afford. Maybe turbo, maybe N/A. Undecided. It's my dream world. Leave me alone.
- STi engine pitching stopper
- STi Group N engine/transmission mounts
- New transmission (dogbox??)
- Really nice clutch (maybe STi, or whatever can take the power)

- Recaro seats in leather and alcantara to match the rest of my interior
- Dash/center console aluminum trim
- STi steering wheel
- New stereo system (Xtant or TubeDriver amps, Dynaudio components, Boston Acoustics Pro subwoofer maybe)
- Dynamat the entire car. Floor, doors... all of it.
- New carpet. I've worn a hole in the driver's side with my heel. Cheap piece of.... :curse:

- 17" wheels. Euro. WRX OEM or Euro. Legacy B4 OEM..... Or Volk TE37.... Or Prodrive PFF7 (gorgeous!!!). Silver or anthracite. No gold.
- Big brake kit. Including stainless lines, new master cylinder and single-stage booster.
- Exhaust. Nothing too loud.

- 22B front grille.
- Real 22B hood vents.
- Ver. 5 underlip spoiler, side sills and rear 22B bumper spats, painted Aspen White to match
- HIDs. Maybe Morette?? Or a JDM HID, if there ever was one for the old cars...
- Smoked foglight covers with white borders (no STi label)
- OEM coupe wing

- Differentials. How many more can we squeeze in there? Heh.

- Moderate window tint (rear passengers and rear window)


That's it, I think. To be Edited later, perhaps.
That was fun.

I'll wake up, now....
-S2-
Broke and hatin' it...

EDIT! Thought of some things...

- STi aluminum control arms for the rear...
- The tires I'd want would probably be Pirelli P-Zero Rosso or Toyo T1-S (215/45-17)
- Up my rear swaybar from 18 to 20mm, though I think I'll be swapping for a 20mm STi bar soon anyway (Whiteline clunks too much)
- Kartboy exhaust hangars, probably in black

 

[edkwon]

To follow up on this my wishlist includes:

Drivetrain:
-Borla 3rd or 4th gen headers
-Apex-i N1 or 5Zigen fireball catback exhaust *or* Stromung SS dual tip exhaust with SS midpipe (much classier looking)
-Sti motor/tranny mounts
-ProECM chip

Suspension
-DMS Gold or Tien HA coilover suspension in the next couple years
-whiteline adjustable rear sway bar

Interior
-Sti Euro fronts

Exterior
-Sti foglamp covers
-17" Rota Tarmacs with Falken Azenis tires

...and somewhere down the line a WRX engine/drivetrain transplant

Nice. Though I'd prefer to keep the EJ25, just do the hardened 2.2L block so it can handle turbo (due to the 2.5 engine's turbo-hating notoriety). I think it's the short block that you switch out.... Hmm, dunno. The added torque that the 2.5 offers makes it sound sweeter to me--like a bunch of quality mods would allow it to beat the crap out of even an STi!!!

I forgot to mention suspension stuff I'd change. I mean I like my Ver.5 setup, but... hmm... I bet Prodrive coilovers would be sweeter...

Lower, though, and that I don't like. Maybe I'll just upgrade to the new STi struts/springs. :biggest:

Ok, here I go, it's a pretty general list right now...

[Impretzel]

:stupid: lil mistakes i see alex?

 

[Impretzel]

hmmm alex, i didn't know you live in ontario... liar :biggest:

 

[Siper2]

Jeez ImprezaMan, and I thought *my* list was extensive!

Damn. :biggest:

Paint. I forgot about the paint, too. Yep, I'd definitely get a new paint job. Might keep it white, or a really bright silver.

And the fender flares sound good, too. Hmm....!

I've thought about the power, and I think I'd like to keep it N/A ... a Cobb Stage II power kit (the Stage III is for Turbo I think), but maybe upgrade some of the specifics to Stage III specs, just because, y'know, I can.

May as well do the brakes while I'm at Cobb, with their kit.
Ah yes, and the new Kartboy endlinks for the rear (and the front ones when they develop them), along with the inserts.

Might do some leatherwork on the interior stuff, like the dashboard, just to make the "touchables" nicer.

Being hypothetically rich is hard work.

Keep your posts related to the topic Impretzel

 

[Impretzel]

no

 

[RaceCarRiot]

wow, mine's pretty small...

first off, i just need my left rear strut to get here, so i can finish my suspension...

then will come many months of debt reduction.

THEN...

- purchase a nice 99-01 stock RS daily driver.
- project mayhem can re-commence. :devil:

 

[Siper2]

Sounds good.


Next!!!
