jono · 08-19-2006, 02:40 AM

Here is what she looked like originally:

Nothing spectacular...but thrashing under that '97 OBS skin was something special (courtesy of LIC Motorsports):

254 AWHP
222 AWTQ
Performance Mods:
2003 EJ20
Vishnu Stage 2:
- custom dyno tune
- 3" turbo-back exhaust (Signature series)
- VF30 (~16 psi)(this is a famous turbo...anyone read Sport Compact Car?)
- Power Pulley kit
- Vishnu top-mount intercooler
FBR radiator
2003 WRX 5-speed transmission
WRX wagon suspension
WRX wagon brakes (axxis pads)
A lot of other stuff...if you want a complete mod list just ask

Can we say sleeper? Yeah, I thought so...but that was a few years ago...now scroll down...

Now it looks as good as it goes.
Exterior mods:
- WRB paint (Earl Scheib...not the greatest job, but cheap)
- Grillcraft top and lower grills
- 1999 Impreza headlights (Koji style, HID kit)
- 1999 Impreza front bumper, side skirts, and rear spats
- tinted corners, sidemarkers, and taillights
- removed roof rails
- 17x7.5 Prodrive P1 wheels
- Yokohama AVS ES100 tires (performance?? whatever)
I'm sure there's other stuff I can't remember...again, if you want a complete list just ask

jono · 08-19-2006, 02:54 AM

Finally, I thought I'd throw these in here...
I live in Monterey, CA, and right now the Concourse d'Elegance is in full swing. The city is infested with every exotic under the sun. I've seen more Ferrari 360 Modenas today than Civics (I'm not joking). SO, i saw this guy cleaning his car, and thought I'd snap a few photos for comparison...

And finally, in Carmel, I saw this driving on public streets:

Yeah. Wow. Anyways, I followed the guy back onto the highway, and the driver of this rolling piece of art STALLED THE CAR a total of 10 times. I counted.

OK, well that's it...what do you guys think of my blue wagon? Yay or nay??

jono · 08-19-2006, 02:59 AM

SORRY I meant to post this in the Members Car Gallery...can someone please move it???? Thanks.
And if anyone wants more pics of any of those things I posted, ask and ye shall recieve

simplebirdy · 08-19-2006, 04:20 AM

all that and no suspension?

Phatron · 08-19-2006, 05:58 AM

drop it
tint it
put a window spoiler or roof spoiler on the back. looks weird to me.

and the tinted out light right behind the front tire looks like a 3rd door handle.

VSB XT · 08-19-2006, 07:22 AM

Looks good.

SQC120 · 08-19-2006, 08:17 AM

nice man!

scoobydrew06 · 08-19-2006, 08:20 AM

i think i remember road and track stating that the porsche gt was very hard to get moving in first gear, and that every single one of the testers stalled it the first time they tried to get going.

piker28 · 08-19-2006, 08:20 AM

that is sweet!!

RICEREX · 08-19-2006, 08:22 AM

looks good

disaster999 · 08-19-2006, 10:00 AM

take off all those light tint put a spoiler on the car, lower it take off those grill things in the front and find yourself some older STi body kit for the car...done

clawdnb · 08-19-2006, 10:10 AM

lowered...and take off the tinted light covers, those are bit too lowrider/hick for a car for like that

rsracer2005 · 08-19-2006, 10:13 AM

I like the sleeper better.

Xcasinonightzone · 08-19-2006, 11:26 AM

definitely take off anything that you have "blacked out" and also get rid of those hideous grill covers
