Hey Ryan. Where are you sourcing that EJ20 through? Are you doing the swap? I am thinking of doing an EJ20 swap, too, so if you need an extra set of hands, let me know. It would be great to get a little insider info before I do it to my car. Lemme know.

Ethan · 11-20-2001, 05:27 PM

Here is SubeDonC's - His was actually the first black one I saw that had some visual mods on it:

SubyObsessive · 11-20-2001, 06:52 PM

thanks for that pic ethan, i knew i had it somewhere on my comp but i couldnt find it.
Both of your cars are really nice
*someday mine will look like that....ahhhh*

Ethan · 11-20-2001, 07:07 PM

This is my other fav.

SubyObsessive · 11-20-2001, 09:16 PM

ethan, one of those roof scoops would look so hot on your car man....

any info on how much that black RS u posted was lowered? the one with the gold wheels....cause that looks like a perfect height, or maybe it was the pic angle
thanks alot

Ethan · 11-20-2001, 10:08 PM

His user name is Bobalouy...his mod list says he's got V5 struts and Eibach springs.

garface · 11-21-2001, 01:18 AM

How bout Michael's car? I liked it better with the Ver. 6 lip and without the red, but it's still pretty good looking. Not sure about performance though.

Ethan · 11-21-2001, 01:23 AM

Micheal....do you have a user name?

garface · 11-21-2001, 01:25 AM

"Michael" is his user name. He has a black RS with the new WRX lip, 22B replica, stock 99 wheels painted black with red ring around it, and spats think. Looks pretty sweet, but I liked it better before.

Ethan · 11-21-2001, 01:43 AM

garface! Thanks, I was actually looking for this guys RS, but I couldn't find it and didn't know his hame

I guess that's the old picture?

DustinR · 11-21-2001, 02:23 AM

MMmmmm.... black loooks so shiny for the first 10 min after you wash it.

Ripper · 11-21-2001, 02:52 AM

yeah my last car was black and i decided to go blue this time for just that reson... the car wash only lasts until you get out of the driveway.... than its all dusty again

SubyObsessive · 11-21-2001, 06:41 AM

once again, does anyone know how much micheals car is lowered?
damn i wish i could see a dropped RS in person so i can make up my damn mind

closure · 11-21-2001, 08:11 AM

That last one looks kind of like what the A team or Mr T. would roll around in if they drove an RS.

Ethan · 11-21-2001, 05:27 PM

Subyobsessive, is obsessing over the drop

Anyway I would say anywhere from 1"-1.5" since its the V5 setup I wouldn't be that much.

Michael · 12-09-2001, 02:01 AM

wow... i didn't even notice that my cars pic was in here...
thanks garface for mentioning me...
yup that is the old pic here is a new pics of the car
front view

back view

i have the tein ha coilover and its dropped about 230 cm or mm (i forgot which is which) from the the middle of the wheel well to the ground.
this was one of the setups for the coilovers in the impreza magazine.
i had ralliespec corner weight them so i would have a even weight distribution during turns. so the four corner is around 230cm area.
as for other mods
i have a full custom exhuast from the y-pipe to the apexi n1 muffler, including one high flow cat and a CEL.

cold air intake, using weapon r intake tube and a blitz SUS filter that is sitting behind the brake duct.
here is pic of it taken and photochoped by jon (25RS)

suspension: rear sway and strut bar from cusco, Tein coilovers HA
Brake: subaru 4 pots with slotted rotors
Aero/exterior: wrx front lip,22b front grill, rear spats, MRT 22b adjustable spoiler
clear corners, side markers and bumper signals, red and clear tail lights. car was repainted ppd black with a lot of red metalic pearl, dupont clear coat finish. paint code is still the same except there is more of the red pearl. side moldings are removed. this was done after the car was badly keyed on one side. (if that didn't happen i wouldn't have reapint the whole damn car

)
interior: sti momo steering wheel, c's short throw shifter (360 degree adjustable) sti door sills, alpine stero with mb quartz speakers, clarion amp and a tube.
and a super afc that is not installed yet.
i guess that is pretty much it.
the only upgrade that i need now is the in the power dept.
hope this answer some of the questions.
let me know if there are anymore
thanks
michael

SubaFastR · 12-13-2001, 01:07 AM

I really just need piping and a BOV to finish the turbo on this thing. Nitrous by Venom, Suspension is a custom one off by Eibach designed with track use in mind. It is very stiff, and very nuetral, kinda took the fun out of drifting though.
Hoods will be copied in carbon soon.http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthr...5&pagenumber=1
