Ok so here is my 02 WRX that I drive everyday. It has an 05 STi motor and will soon be converted to drive-by-wire so it actually runs properly! (As soon as I find an STi throttle pedal assembly, that is, so if you know someone who is selling one send them my way!) Before the motor swap I went 13.5 @ something like 103mph (i think, i forget the actual mph) at Lebanon Valley Dragway. And, yes, I do realize my car is 4-wheeling right now haha, I need to get some coilovers sooooon!

Ok, next is my hill climb car (which I havent actually gotten to use yet thanks to a thief who decided to steal my fuel rail, injectors, brand new aeromotive afpr, ecu, vpc/gcc, mbc, and more... havent gotten around to replacing everything yet). It's a 91 Galant VR-4 (#300/2000). After the break-in I've down-graded to a T28 turbo (had a brand new 6262, I WAS going to use it as a drag car and wanted to run 10s... oh well, hill climb should be fun!). Running 550cc injectors, simple S-AFC I for tuning. Has EVO MR suspension (bilstein coilovers, tein tops). It started out with noooo interior (was completely raced out when I bought it, I wanted it semi-street). So I took the entire interior out of a parts car I had and swapped it in... leather seats, headliner, carpet and all! The car had been crashed before I bought it so I had the body work done and had the car painted.

Here is a before and some afters! (Still missing a few various pieces such as grill and trim)

Crazy... The bf and I had a vr4 that we were gonna use as a track car. That thing was nasty!!! Took the weirdo 4-wheel steering out... Best sleeper car ever. Autocrossed it a few times but decided to sell it and get a 2.5 RS instead. Ours was like #305 or something... Very fond memories of it.
