Forgot to mention its got a nifty little Intercooler spray tank in the trunk, Fill it with water.

Its got alot of nice factory goodies. 1 thing I really enjoy is the headlights, You can adjust them up or down, A thumb scroll type button on the dash has 4-5 different settings to adjust the lights.. factory HIDs in the projector headlights and projector fog lights as well.

Sad to see your truck go, but having your car vandalized is always cause for paranoia, when it happened to my camaro I was worried every night when I went to sleep.

I agree, subarus and and evos I dont think of as rice, they actually mean business and look good. As long as you dont stick a huge fartcan, or a tall non-functionial spoiler, or any other stupid crap on it you should be fine.

Nice car Derek! I see no reason to bash on buying that car. I've thought once or twice of buying one of those as well! Very sweet little cars!!

I've got a buddy of mine that has a WRX that's basically been converted - motor wise into a STI... the thing sure is a hell of a fun/nice ride. You still gonna drop by now and then?

Yep its an M6 and they have 3.90 gears, So MPGs could be better, but still much much better than the truck. It gets about 16-17 City and about 25 hwy

We ran a couple times and yes from 35-45 rolls best it could pull on me was maybe a truck length, Truck slightly spinning still of course. These cars run great, and sound awesome. You cant beat the sound of the Purrr of a Subaru..

The engine compartment is very tight, But luckily I am not doing anything to intense to get involved in there. Just exhaust stuff which is easy. I mean ****, for a cams swap the engine has to be pulled lol..

I figured you didnt care I was gone..
Yes we all have our own lives outside the forums, Its hard to keep track of everyone..

I was.
And no, I didn't care.
j/k

Kiddin aside, I really liked what u had goin w/. your truck.

That lil intercooler spray tank is the ****.

I didn't know they had those; so are u gonna keep it full. Say, just in case u run up against Parker?!?

No doubt WRX's & Evos actually mean business. A huge fartcan kinda makes me think it's leaning toward rice, but everyone likes more power or a diff. sound, so I wouldn't fault ya there. Unless it extends out a foot past the bumper edge.

But a tall spoiler outside the factory offering just screams F&F.

And yes, u better hop on the site now & again to see whats going on. I've got some changes planned myself. Should be by end of month, Oct. at latest.

Like Scott said, post em up, the speedo & exhaust vids!!!

I have heard some modded out STI's that at idle put some peoples trucks exhaust to shame. As long as it isn't sticking out a foot past the bumper like mentioned above you are golden
