btw this is totally different but has anyone have problems with cold starts with either a 2010 or 2011 2.5i? My '11 didnt start the other day for some reason

i always pump the brake once and hold it down while i start it. you'll never have that problem if you do that

If anyone has some info on removing the mirror cards I would appreciate the help because I don't want to risk breaking them. If this works out well I will do a DIY write up for anyone else that is interested in the information.

I'm guessing you have an 08? Think your gna have to pull out the mirror first (then again I really don't know). Your gna have to pull out the gusset to gain access to the bolts that hold the mirror in place. I saw a thread somewhere here a Guy put STI mirror signals on his WRX. He showed how to remove the cards. Ill try to find it somewhere around here.

I'll definitely be buying my "princess" a new part or 2 for Christmas it's only fair to spoil her a little :P and the fact i'm kinda sad that i'm not going to get my sways on til after Christmas.

As for the cold starts i haven't had a problem with mine as of yet i sit in it turn the keys and its catches smooth every time.

awdorgtfo · 11-30-2011, 11:47 PM

Im probably buying some rota gravels

daigledangle8 · 12-01-2011, 03:29 PM

So the painting was somewhat a success. The color matched up great but I believe I needed to sand a little more to remove some of the imperfections in the cap. For now, I am happy with the results for the winter but will most likely re-sand and repaint it in the spring time with the door handles.

Here is a cell phone pic that I took:

Yay or nay on the silver grille vs the black?

apkarian100 · 12-02-2011, 05:24 PM

Silver grill hands down. Paint matching is always nice.

daigledangle8 · 12-02-2011, 05:30 PM

^ thanks, next step is painting the black door handles!

The silver one looks pretty good but looks like the fitment is even better, however I like the black one but you already have the silver hella horns so why not keep going with that trend? I have the same color/car and your giving some great ideas to me

I like the silver grill above. ^^ Come spring time I'm going to finally get a sport-mesh grill.
