Subaru luv...some of my old rides too.

Post by JayGold »

Phoring out some of my past rides.

Oldest was a 1995 Honda Civic EX which had the best sound system to date installed, unfortunately I only have Polaroids of it not scanned yet.

Moved onto a 1997 Honda Prelude with subtle bolt on mods, the most memorable were the 18" Advan Model 6 hollow spoke wheels which took me 1 year from down payment to have shipped from JDM land. This was back in 1998 when importing these items was not as easy as today.

Also had a 1999 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS which I rebuilt after being oil starved and ended up with a spun rod bearing. The only salvageable engine component were the heads, everything else around it was fresh due to the 100,000+ miles already on it. Only down fall was it had been totaled out by the insurance company shortly after the pic was taken due to a drunk driver slamming into it in front of my place at 3am on a Sunday morning.

Sold the lude and went for Subaru which I still rock today. It's a 2002 WRX with essentially a TurboXS Stage 4 kit utilizing a rare Power Enterprise of Japan PE1818F turbocharger. All other supporting mods are on it along with a full tune good for low 12's and 150 mph pulls in 4th gear with the stock glass 5-speed.

Enjoy the pics!

I do, but they are of an older tune and with smaller injectors...not really too impressive.

Thanks, I currently rock a 2000 Impreza Sedan for daily driving duties, not much in the performance category though with this AT one. :(

You should add paddle shifters like I did to my 4EAT 8) One of the best upgrades I did! I added a DCCD knob as well. It's good stuff :)

That's sick! I wish I had the money for an STI, especially one with 400hp! They are sweet cars. Maybe later on in life I will pick one up, but one can only hope...

I wouldn't drop a teaser like that if I did already have a write up :lol: It might not work with your car because your 4EAT is a phase II design and uses ODBII, which incorporates a bunch more stuff, but nonetheless...

That's my build thread. Has all the info I used and what not. If you have any questions just ask, I will help where I can!

Damn, that was pretty involved...I'll stick with the 4EAT as is and pick up another MT one of these days.

:lol: That's usually what everyone does, but I like to be different, and I get bored :)

Now let's see a 6MT in your WRX and make that bad boy fly! :D

Subaru are so nice cars! But i personally prefer the look of the older models, seems more agressive to me... But still this is a crazy ride!
