I figured I would post some pics and a bit of my story. I have had my car since the very beginning of '07 and it has pretty much been stage 2 since. When my stock turbo blew last summer I decided to just go ahead with the vf52. I'm trying to keep the outside clean and simple. No real big power plans....the 52 will be perfect for what I want when I'm done. I don't have this turbo maxed out to it's full potential yet. From my DP back my exhaust is still 2.5 inches and I don't have bigger injectors. Once I get those I can't wait to see the numbers....considering I am already at 325wtq without those modifications I also plan on doing some suspension upgrades as well. Since I have no plans to really track this car (autox or road course) I am not going to go too crazy. I would really like to get some sways at the least. I am completely fine with the H&Rs so why spend more on coilovers. I probably will also invest in a Perrin positive steering response kit too....Perrin says that that matched with the upgraded sways will take care of a lot of the squat issues.
Mods I have so far:
Perrin Short Ram Intake Perrin TMIC
Perrin VTA BOV Cobb AP Tuned by Agile Auto (278whp/325wtq, 19psi)
Vibrant Performance custom exhaust
Converted dual mufflers to single straight pipe from the DP back
Invidia Catless Downpipe
H&R Springs
VF52
'08 STI FP
V-limited Front Lip
Debadged
Cleared and Blacked out '05 Headlights with 6,000k HIDS
Painted the grille black
20% Tint All Around
Red Calipers with Subaru Decals
Painted stock wheels Duplicolor Graphite
On to the pics!
Installing the '05 headlights and the HIDs

A few days after installing the new headlights and painting the grille black this happened. (We were both supposed to be turning left, but he decided to make a uturn into me from the right lane) :mad:

A week and a half later I had my car back in better condition than it was before the accident. Except I had to bake the passenger light because they only replaced that one. I baked it, cleared it, the next day I brought it to the body shop for them to paint the inside.....then I had to pick it up and rebake it to put it back together. I thought we used enough stuff to seal it again but I guess not, so every once in a blue moon it will get condensation in it :mad:
First day I picked it up from the body shop

Nice cars, but how's the whole "living in Virginia" thing? I hear they're rather strict out there.

Thanks y'all ;)
VA is extremely strict....but I don't really mind it I guess. As far as equipment goes.....I have been here since Sep '06 and have gotten 2 tint tickets and an illegal exhaust ticket. Some peopl can be here for 20 years with 5% tint, no exhaust and never get a ticket :lol: Just each person's luck I guess.

Did you get all of those tickets in VA Beach?

Exhaust and tint were in Henricho on the way to Mach V....state cop on 95. And the other tint was in Hampton on my way to base in the morning.
