The new bucket....'05 STi
First off, the wagon isn't going anywhere. I'm the Don of the Wagon Mafia, after all. After 250k miles, it was time to switch it to DD status and stop the major mods (the main reason it stayed NA) and get a new toy. I rewarded myself after ending my last year of 160 mile/day commuting (down to 4 miles now, lol) with something I've been planning for a very long time, thanks to an old friend.
So, here it is.
2005 STi, aspen white.
Current mods:
Under the hood:
Cobb catback
Invidia DP
Injen wrinkle red CAI
S^2 Ecutek reflash, ~265hp/280tq
Beatrush radiator plate
HKS 710 cap
Kartboy battery tiedown
Tein hood dampers
Stick and stop:
Work Emotion CR Kai's, 18x8.5, ET42 with 245/40/18 Pzero Neros
Rota Boosts, 17x8, with 225/45/17Yokohama Icegard winters
Tein Mono Flex inverted coils w/ EDFC
Brembo slotted fronts, Hawk Ceramics.
Carbing front strut brace with MCS.
Whiteline ALK
Whiteline subframe lock bolts
Interior:
Tint, 5% back and 70% front
WC Lathe Works white poly shift ****
Extended armrest
Autospeed dead pedal
Black STi floormats (stockers slid around everywhere)
Electronics:
Pioneer 9800BT HU with Ipod integration
Legacy DIN pocket
Phoenix Gold 10" in Duffman trunk enclosure
Rockford Fosgate Punch 300.1 amp
Hardwired and hardmounted V1
Exterior:
WRX sideskirts (still have the stockers)
Debadged wingless trunk (still have the stocker)
RallyArmor mudflaps
Rally Innovations skidguard
JDM Amber sidemarkers
Pink "stars" badge
Autospeed license plate trim
Offset plate mount
Prodrive diff guard
Tint, 5% back 5, 70% front (yay for CA tint laws)
Other stuff:
Yakima racks w/ fairing
Full Clearbra kit
Hella Supertones
Pic from day 1:
So far the thing is fun as hell. Last time we dynoed it on a Mustang a few years ago, we were at ~265hp/280tq, so it moves a ittle faster than the wagon.

Now with more hot suspension lovin'. Take a wild guess who did my work. Paul is the man.
I know it's dirty, I'm enjoying driving it too much.
Tein Mono Flex's w/ EDFC
Brembo slotted rotors with Hawk ceramic pads up front (rears were taken care of by PO under warranty, lol)
I also got popped for front tint within 3 days of owning the car and ripped off the 15% front tint and replaced it with CA legal 70% in front. Not as pimp, but easier to see out of, and one less thing to get pulled over for.

Better pics from tonight. Anyone who sees who started this thread knows it isn't 56k safe anyways, this is the first time I busted out the good camera, even though the car is a dirty *****.
WC Lathe Works pimpness; custom poly sphere. I have an aluminum one from him as well. Buy one. Buy one now.
