Washed, dried, clay bared, 3 step wax, detailed wheels, engine clean and full shampoo inside. Sorry for potato pics, also lowered another 10mm in front
3 step wax? Sounds like an epic waste of time haha.

Sorry to bust in here but I actually went to look at this car! I'm in Charleston and just waiting till tax season to pick one up. Looked great. FYI its not on autotrader anymore so they may have sold it. Used to have a 05 sti stage 2 and I bought upgrades instead of car notes lol I feel like I'm ready for another shot though! Ill be back around February with pics of my new one!

I'm 6.2 and at the lowest height the stock seat was a little bit to high for me. I had maybe 3 inches of head space with the stock seat. Besides that on long drives my right shin would get sore because of the angle of my foot to calf. Now with the Recaro seat I have about 8 inches or so of head space and the angle of my foot and calf has been reduced making it a bit more comfortable to drive the car. My Recaro is a full bucket seat so it definitely holds me a lot better under hard cornering.

The seat is a Recaro Pole Position and I'm using Buddy Club rails if you're wondering. Hope this answers your question.

I dont think so. Its a polish and sealant. Removes all the little swirl marks and scratches.

I just used the Mothers Brand. Clay bar kit and 3 step wax/polish and a electric buffer. I also use Autoglym. Find those both good and not to pricey at all.

Well I finally went ahead and pulled the trigger with something I've always wanted to do with the car. now I know a lot of you aren't into it and think it's stupid and prefer this over that, but for my car, air ride was the best option for me and am so happy about the decision I made! I went with Airlift Performance Struts and V2 Autopilot Management w/ 2 compressors.

I know I didn't have the best of the best coils on the car previously, but going from the BC's to the air setup is like night and day. For every day driving, the car drives so much smoother. For taking corners and long turns, I couldn't believe how much better the car handles. Obviously a good coil over would have gave me the same impression as far as performance goes, but having the option to air up when need be (say for deep driveways or speed bumps) as well as airing out and stancing the car a bit, I can't see there being anything more functional or practical. I basically have the best of both worlds. So enough with the talking, here's some pics. Enjoy?

Interesting interpretation. How did you infer a negative connotation towards RPF1s from my comments above or the linked thread?

Most wheels are either light or strong or neither. Rarely will you find bother qualities in a wheel. If you do, you're gonna really pay for them. Nothing negative, just the facts.

Exactly. How could you go wrong with the best of both worlds?

I will be incorporating my air ride setup and my subwoofer setup into my trunk leaving a still semi functional trunk so that I have space to store stuff. Should be done in the next two weeks. I'll post pictures of it.

Yep, we'll have similar trunk setups ahahah, except my air setup will be setup on the top row of the trunk area. My subs will be incorporated into the floor of the bottom area and I'll have a cover that goes over them if I need to put something in the trunk. Still having a functional trunk is big for me!

Got your pm, responded bud.

I just got done reading some interesting stuff in the last several pages.
I may not like SportSharpMode's wing style, but I do love to see variety. The resulting "wing & rotas" argument was an incredibly useless thing we call "first world problems".

Last time I checked this was a gallery thread, not a whining one.
I appreciate all the picture contributions, thanks guys.
