SubieChik's '06 SpecB.....And A Few Pics With The Hubby's STI

[SubieChik]

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!

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
