like the title of the topic says, im bored.

so here goes,

this is the oldest pic i have of my WRX. it was taken by the dealer and used for their online ad, which is how i found the car. she had 2700 miles on her.



and this is what she looks like now



















i am thinking about painting the side skirts. i also plan on getting HID for all my lights(hi, low and fog ) as well as getting black housing headlights from an 05 wrx. a blue STI scoop is also in the plans

other than that, the car is done on the outside.

the wheels are BBS wheels that subaru offers for the WRX. they are normally the same color as the stock WRX wheels but when i got them there were chipped up because they were used on one of ESX's cars. i had them sandblasted and powdercoated a semi glossy black to keep with the whole black and blue theme

mods that u cant see:

FMIC
full exhuast
water injection
UTEC
STI 6spd
one piece driveshaft
hks bov

comming soon

engine swap(jdm 2.0 or usdm 2.5)

I wouldnt swap an EJ25 into that. the 2.0 was put there for a reason, its lighter and faster. I have two subarus at my house, EJ22 and EJ25, both slow and crappy.. but when I drove a WRX, it was like sex. They have a squishy, truck-like shifter, but if you get a Kartboy it gets better.

i have a perrin short shifter, going to get bushings for it eventually. as for the 2.0 being better than a 2.5, the STI 2.0 from japan is better, but the usdm STI 2.5 is a much better engine than the 2.0 that wrx's were given in the US. it has a stronger block, better cams, better heads, bigger valves and several have gotten to 500whp on a completely stock STI motor. the 2.0 in my car cant come close to that, and even if i build it, the block is still the weak point being that its open deck design

go drive an STI, im sure it will change your opinions on the EJ25 engine

There are few things you WRX is still in need But it looks awesome....

As for the first thing i would do - is get lose of the orange lenses in your headlights......

im working on that
