Anyways, Assunta, what's next on the list of mods?

The next big thing is to bolt the suspension parts in. I would like to have that done before I install the intake and headers and have to rush off for another tune. I'd like to think I can have everything done in spring.

I'll need to invest in new winters before next season rolls around as I feel like I've baked the current ones. I can cope with them until I swap them out for summers.

I had my hands on Zaider's knob, erm, shift knob, and feel like I ~~need~~ want to get myself some more weight on my stick.

Seats. uckfay you guys who expose me to your nice parts. Jeff.

Gauges/roof pod. All wants.

race wars? You may have to elaborate.

It may be sitting in the parking lot, posing until I grow some balls. According to another, apparently I don't have any. I might put some more miles on it before I track it... or buy a designated track car.

You're doing all these mods just for spirited driving??

You make too much money

Bring down to Edmonton for AutoX at least, would love to see this car in person

Love the rims. Timeless color combo but still unique from the OG gc's & gd's.

Good man, buy a designated track car, if we ever get a sizable track close to Calgary.

I picked up 6 boxes today... I know in my build thread I previously crapped on about function before form, well I lied and here's proof.

Boxes 1-3 went straight into the fridge.

Here we have some black and blue Ermahgerd

New Cobb pretty bit, along with FastWRX version... keeping one only, rather than bolting one a-top the other. Going to have to pound the plate with a mallet to get it to form to the bumper curve. I'd kill myself before living with that gap at the ends

Black side badges for stealth mode

Expensive engine bay bling tape

More engine bay bling. Proper hose clamps pending

I have no idea what came over me

Some blue Cusco uckfay-yeahs. I've seen better welding come out of the Philippines. Shame Japan, shame.

I left these until last. My wife came home from work while I was reverently unwrapping these babies. I was sweating and she found that rather disturbing. I'm sure she would have used the adverb "feverishly".

Nice part's indeed,,,,what did she say this time to the boxes? Probably the same as mine, lol,, Just do what I do, don't tell her how much and take her out shopping

Jessy403 · « **Reply #63 on:** February 01, 2013, 07:40:06 pm »

I did not read the thread because I'm lazy. I only looked at the pictures lol. Are you installing these yourself?

... not so bad this time. I broke the news to her early. We avoided conflict and spoke jokingly about interventions/obsessions/therapy. I found that if I commit to rebuilding, or designing and commissioning someone to rebuild the rear deck I'm okay to hide my mastercard statements and indiscretions in the basement until they get bolted in.

Oh, and you should be following this thread http://www.westernsubaruclub.com/smf/index.php?topic=1598.msg418724#msg418724
Snackers or GrantC will nail you for commas vs dots and unnecessary apostrophes (part's)

Phuck no, not all of it. Most will go to VEX, provided they don't burn my old bushings out.

That Cobb SF intake will require a different map (Cobb has several). You probably already know that but, just in case.

Yep, I was hoping you'd be paying attention. Let's make another play date. Should I also be looking at an EBCS?

i just picked up a cobb shift knob today, it makes shifting feel so much more "solid" i guess. i would definitely recommend one

from my understanding you don't NEED the EBCS on a stock turbo. Even if it has stage 2 power.

Ambystom01 · « **Reply #73 on:** February 01, 2013, 08:30:33 pm »

I think EBCS makes boost more consistent, but it's not necessary.

exactly. I PM'd Sunny a while back about getting one. After talking with him I decided not to get the EBCS I was looking at.
