Mine too, but I think it's the first in closer to two months.

Finally got off the brake dust from the Packwood trip!

lilblue619 · 08-17-2012, 08:51 PM

I did the same thing with the same result.
I finally got my car running, washed it, now it's raining and my idle is crappy.

Spoolinva · 08-18-2012, 02:19 PM

Want to know what $300 looks like?

That sucks man.

Just curious, what was the % of those tints?

ppayer38 · 08-18-2012, 02:37 PM

Just got done swapping my 05 WRX interior for 05 STi interior... All I have to say is wow what a difference!

The seats sit lower, the padding in the seat bottom is softer, and the lumbar(lower back if seat) is better or atleast to me it is

ImNOrobo · 08-18-2012, 02:43 PM

It's just a placebo

. Now come out to the race tomorrow.

I rotated the tires and wiped the car down to get the base dirt off. Ready to rock tomorrow.

sjs0433 · 08-18-2012, 03:01 PM

Speaking of tint, is VA legal still 50 front, 35 rear? I thought for a while I saw something about them possibly passing a law that would change legal to 35 up front too.

I know when I had the last STI it had 35 all around because it was bought in PA where 35 is legal all around. I ended up getting a ticket and had to pull it off. Imagine how dumb the car looked with nothing on the front windows and 35 on the rear?

It was 15% so I was asking for it. But I have to say that I was beside state & county cops before and they didn't pay it any mind. This last ticket I got was kinda my fault I think I made the cop nervous when I went by him and so he came after me.

And as far as I know its 50% front and 35% rear. But when I get it done again here in a few months I'll have him wrap it in 35%

Lurch33 · 08-18-2012, 04:37 PM

Drove it to work. Stared at it.

silmarilion · 08-18-2012, 05:53 PM

Installed a GFB Stealth FX bypass valve on the Sti. It can go from full recirc to 100% vta. It was a tight fit and a bit of a pita. But looks good once it's on.

sjs0433 · 08-18-2012, 06:59 PM

I watched an old guy back right into my car

Looks to be just cosmetic damage as it was bumper on bumper. I'll be taking it a few places for estimates this week. Might try to pull the bumper off myself and see if anything underneath is messed up.

infinite012 · 08-18-2012, 07:46 PM

Jesus. Didn't you just get your car a few weeks ago?

EvileyeZ88 · 08-18-2012, 09:00 PM

Other inconsiderate drivers make me so mad

sjs0433 · 08-18-2012, 09:51 PM

Yeah, I got it 3 weeks ago

mhoerath · 08-19-2012, 07:57 AM

2 layers of fiberglass on the inside of the front fascia where it's cracked. nasty mess but does the job. started glazing/sanding on the outside.

ppayer38 · 08-19-2012, 03:06 PM

My new wheels/tires

time to get my coilovers put on

CamaroFS34 · 08-19-2012, 03:29 PM

Autocrossed it at FedEx Field and had me some Mustang-burgers for lunch....

ImNOrobo · 08-19-2012, 05:58 PM

I also did some autocross today.

If you use the youtube link right over here you can see todays event. I was in the second heat and it was starting to rain the whole heat, the last run was pretty wet.

HinshawWRX · 08-19-2012, 06:04 PM

Cleaned the inside of the windshield, dusted inside, and threw a protective coat of wax on the gauge cluster and rear view mirror for easier future cleaning.
