updateee..

so, the car is in stock mode right now(as far as the motor is concerned).. i'm awaiting the arrival of a bosal uppipe, after a long wait for an sti uppipe that never came i have a sard r2d2 bov waiting to be installed along with (hopefully) a maddad stealthback. i'm going to try and keep the car as stock looking as possible with just a couple knacks for me to enjoy while driving (hence the blow off valve).

i've been talking to a friend lately and he's been pushing the idea of getting me a complete standalone system for a VERY GOOD price.. so i might be saving up for an 18g soon

i've also been contemplating what to do with the front bumper! keep the stocker or swap out for a newer style rs bumper or go for the ver4 classic look.. what do you guys think?

i would say go for the classic v4 look.. but ONLY if money allows... otherwise stealthy (stock) is fine too

Sometime next week, my car should sit as follows:
