Indeed! keep the car together. I am surprised you stuck with the car through all the tough times. I have a set of kyb gr2's with stocker springs if you dont put those stocker sti's in.

Keep up the good work!

since i haven't updated this in over a year, i figured it was worth posting some new pictures of Jade.







currently the only mod/maintenance i have planned for this week would be an oil change, i believe 10k is slightly excessive, however. i will be sending it out for testing because i'm curious.

this coming spring/summer Jade will be getting the following;

-GTspec UEL header
-GTspec 3bolt up pipe
-38mm Tial EWG
-Blouch BIG 16g Turbo
-STi pink injectors
-PNP intake manifold
-TGV Deletes
-Plenum spacers
-Sunny re-tune

and a few others i have missed, i am currently piecing together a hybrid 2.5L setup that may be installed this summer if i finish my other projects that i currently have on the go.

i will update as the car progressed!

another quick update for you fine folks! firstly, a quick sound clip.


Sound Check!! HKS up pipe, down pipe and hi power exhaust.


Jade has some new shoes for the summer, undecided on what color to paint them, any ideas? i was thinking white. also, i'm thinking i may lower the car another 1/4 to 1/2 inch.


this is the look i'm going for, i warmed up to the V2 lip and bought one, and have the exact rims. :)

White on white looks good, but only as long as the shades match exactly.
I used to drive Subaru's.
