Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

a special shout out to a ms. kent who decided to help my fund my purchase of my awesome tein basics when she decided to rear end me. easiest 800 i ever made. im already over the nicks, and i figure when i go home to ny it'll probably get worse anyway.

cobb cylinder heads.

i checked out cobbtuning.com and I thought that they stopped making parts for N/A cars and focused more on turbo.

What I found was that they have cylinder heads availiable for purchase for our year model.

Its expensive though for a pair...

looks like the Eibach Pro-Kits are the best option from what I've read. The Whitelines only give a 1" drop.
Does anyone have pics of the Eibach Pro Kit on their car?
From what I hear the Eibach's are one of the best choices.

How deep is the chip? If it's deep enough use some touchup paint, that'll stop it from rusting. I'm definitely interested in a writeup on painting brake calipers. I've seen our cars with it and it looks awesome.

J-chow, i feel for you man. what did you back up into? and im still using the osrams silverstars. i love em. i think the pic is a little misleading because of all the yellow light from the lamps. the silverstars arent that white, but they are damn bright. hey that rhymes.

Guess no one here has them on yet?

There are many different springs you could try.

Tein: H or S techs
Eibach Pro
Sti Pinks
Prodrive

Those are the ones I can think of now . . . probably more out there.

a question..

i was looking for parking and i was going to parallel park and while i was parking, i heard a grinding sound and when i checked what it was, there was like a narrow rock on a pole grinding on my left sideskirt.

now i'm left off with a 3+ft long scratch deep into the enamel. well, not too deep, but deep enough to show the white powdery thing.

I have crystal gray metallic touch up paint at home for my future project of painting my side mirrors..

Would it be a wise decision to just touch up the 'scar' or bring it to the shop and have it professionally done?

I'd say you try and touch it up, if you dont like how it turned out then take it to a shop.
