i love your bro's GC. The IX is bad ass too. Great thing about GC's... They're cheap and easily modded lol.

As far as my wheels go, I love advan's but Im not baller enough, and I kind of... abuse my car. I live on a dirt road, I take dirt roads (or no roads, whatever lol) and I'm broke.

Im honestly looking at getting some custom bronze 15inch Diamond Racing wheels with cheap snow tires.

[KrazyS13]

I love Subaru's!! Here's my first... A 2000 Impreza RS swapped with a 05 USDM STi motor, Cobb stage 2 EM, Invidia TBE, Fujita intake. This car was a beast....http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k256/crazygc8/DSC00271.jpg
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k256/crazygc8/DSC00285.jpg

2nd one is a 04 STi with a fully built motor, big turbo, coilovers, yada, yada.....

Sadly, I've sold both but I will get another one. They are the best driving cars!!

[ZX88]

i want a forester, coilovers, and sti swap.... that would be a bad ass winter car.

[SexPanda]

that'd be pretty dope. Im wanting to trade out my s-tech's for a set of g-tech's, koni's and some misc. chassis stiffining.

Then skidplates. Everywhere lol.

But once again, we got the shaft in america. Japan has a Forester GT STi... fucky lucks.

all 4 wheels DO get power. I suppose I can change this to an AWD/4WD thread. Kinda seems like the fair thing to do. My buddy's 1500 is fun as hell in the mud.

lol ah yes, the infamous 4g63(t). Nice GSX. My brother's had... 7 or 8 DSM's, counting the 2 2nd gens and Galant VR4. He's 18 lol. Im actually going to pic one up eventually, if I can't find the right GC. And hey, wheel's fall off sometimes lol. I have a buddy with a STI down at fort wood. Brought his car to Big O tires to have some tires changed. They, one way or another, snapped 13 wheel studs on that vehicle.

Thankfully he found it before the tire COMPLETELY fell off. Also had a wheel fall off an LS1 swapped 97 camaro. That wasnt nice to look at.

[Bubbles]

These still give me bonerzz

Oh, this completely fell off. Luckily Jeeps sit pretty high off the ground.

I have been thinking for the past year about trading in my S13 for a 05-07 WRX. What do you guys have to say about the idea?

[ronmcdon]

here's my 08' evo gsr.
stock save for dunlop Z1 tires, & ferodo 2500 pads.


http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/3521/evo2r.jpg

[SexPanda]

I absolutely love mine. I got 28mpg on the way up here from my old house (130 miles, about 4 gallons. A quarter tank.) Easy to work on, fun, and the parts are out there. Only real weak point is the transmission, but the newer WRX's had much better ones than the 02-03.

Just be careful buying a used one. get one unmodded, don't be afraid to really check the car over at the dealership. If they wont let you really get on it and check it out, don't get it. I bought mine with an intake, untuned. I was on my way to pic up a stock intake when piston 4 decided to explode. I can tell you how it feels to drop 10 grand on a car and then have to pull the engine and rebuild it 2 weeks later because some idiot didn't know what the fuck he was doing.

But I'm partly to blame. I really jumped the gun with the one I bought.

[randomxzero]

ya the car ran well but was a PITA as soon as i would fix one problem another one occured right after.... stupid DSM but one day i'll have another one haha

[ronmcdon]

lol, hence 'the new dsm' title.

idk about GC's being cheap though.
maybe the regular trims are affordable, but the RS' command quite a premium.
seems like most models w/ 100k mi and under are demanding at least $10k and up.

[SexPanda]

Yeah regular GC is what I'm after. Drop in a salvaged EJ205, which I unfortunately have much experience with, inside and out. Coilovers, wheels, call it a day lol.

All for less than an RS lol.

PERFECTA MUNDO

[randomxzero]

before i bought the GSX there was a 94 Impreza going for 3000 i should have gotten that instead, it was really clean and stock!

[SexPanda]

3000 bucks for a 94?

DAYUM SON! Thats like, a rally tax or some shit. You can find 02 WRX's here with hail damage (golf ball status, not like, little dents and dings) for like 5 grand.

[JVD]

I just got this last month. I live in Canada, so it seemed like the right thing to do. It came with some terrible Canadian Tire rims/tires but a nice set of winter tires. I'm going to start gathering parts for the STI hub/brake conversion and some KW V3's for summer. Then it's just a matter of picking which 5 x 114.3 wheels I want! Oh, and it's kinda slow, so I want to put a turbo and supporting mods eventually.

but those have the tranny problems no?
idk thats what he had on the craigslist ad probably could have talked him down some

[SexPanda]

bad tranny, good engine. Get a used STI tranny for 1500. Thats what im going to do actually lol. Eventually.

Or get a 90's impreza for a grand, wrecked Sti for 5, swap everything over, tada!

[randomxzero]

Some guy i met did that a 90's impreza with the sti motor damn that car just rips through the canyon

^^You sold your MS3?

SexPanda my uncle has a saabaru, sweet wagons.

[VROOOM]

yup, it was fun but i got a really really good deal on the Evo X. so i traded it in. i still kinda miss the sleeper look of the MS3. everyone knows what an Evo is.

[SexPanda]

I just like the more streamlined profile of the saab. The current owner of my previous s13 owns one... And its scary. Granted its a subaru with saab badging and what not, when you sit in one or drive on, you are reminded that the company makes fighter jets and rocket launchers lol. Its just that little bit different than an STI (his has the ej25)

[ronmcdon]

I'd also think the Saabaru would have considerably lower insurance.
but really, the 06-07's wrx were the most desirable, since they got the EJ25's.
I am also a bit biased since I drove a 06 STi for a while.
I'll see if I can find pics.
jesus, i miss that car!

[cgtdream]

Nice thread Op. Wow, lotsa subarus and evo's on here. We need diversity on this thread, lols....

Anywho, this is my GT4 and i my simple plans run along the lines of a nice rally setup with the car pushing no more than 380hp. Im almost there and after this deployment i plan on beefing up the suspension a bit to help improve some of my driving. Of course getting out there in the mud and dirt is what will help me the most but that happens over time!!

I've always LOVED those cars. Yours looks great, keep up the good work!!

[SexPanda]

yeah thats a prett sweet toyota man. What all do you have done to it?

[cgtdream]

So far the car mostly has what came with it. TRD adjustable dampners,TRD slotted rotors, TRD brake pads, HKS blow offf valve/intake/turbo timer/cam gears. and some never seen before speedlines. What ive done to it thus far, is an Apexi AVCR boost controller, N/A 3sge cams.

Future plans are solid engine/tranny mounts, front and rear adjustable sway bars, New clutch and lightweight flywheel, water injection, a nice upgrade for my WTA intercooler and alot of maintenance ^_^ Might need to pick out some new wheels and tires as well since my current ones are gonna be in some bad shape here in a bit!

WTF is with germans and their windows?

My old bmw was the same way. Sometimes the sunroof would work. Sometimes it wouldnt. It was the comfort relay switch, which will go out. Not a matter of if, its a matter of when. Thankfully it didnt affect my windows... That would have pissed me off
