I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

Very nice man. I was beginning to wonder when you'd post a build thread. :P

Car looks nice, but needs more low.

Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille

Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

Yeah, I know. Saving up for coilovers, but doubt they'll be in before the HV cruise.. but who knows. Maybe some of my ebay stuff will sell :P

I'm sure you will man. That's all it comes down to, being able to afford all those nice new bits.

It was an awesome score. It's normally an $800 muffler. Expensive German quality!

Nice man.

Needs less stickers and more low though.

Why did you cover the new seat with a seat cover?!?!?

Some are going. Coilovers are in the works.

To protect it, really. Don't wanna get stains or rips on the new one.

When I get the GoPro accessories off Aek tonight, I'll do an exhaust video soon. Really need some nice headers, but it's not a bad sound at the moment :)

Nice nice.... will be good to hear that... I just want mine to be quieter... but it still should sound nice with the TBE I have on my car :)

It's a $20 product. Prevents short circuiting when jumping and current spikes and whatnot. Figured since I bought a new battery, should install it.

Just for that extra bit of 'better safe than sorry'. I might look into it. Where'd you get it from? Supercheap Auto?

eBay, actually. Just search "antizap"

They're recommended when you relocated batteries into the boot, which I originally planned (bought most of the stuff needed), but scraped that idea.

Very nice! hows it feel?

I have the sway bar but need to do the endlinks.

As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;
 
"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"

I should just convert to single, right?
