    Hey guys, bought the car back in Sept. '07 right before moving out to Colorado. Anyways, I still come back to MN to visit family and in town currently. Car was acting up a bit when I got back down to sea level with boost spiking up to 15-16psi and is now topping at 14. Was hesitating at 4k rpms in second gear. How ever I think the ECU is now adapting to the 9000ft drop. Here are a couple pictures of the car right before I drove back into town! Enjoy

    Very nice looking WRX, I agree with 03subyR, does need a STI wing. But looks great regardless.

    Thanks for the welcoming. I plan on getting a Seibon CF Wing at one point or another and I'm thinking after the next rim that explodes on me I'll go ahead with a new set. White was a mistake due to the fact that Colorado's harsh winters mixed with Minnesota's buggy summers is hard to keep clean. Car has been through a lot also but don't feel like explaining right now :p

    Even though I told you suby on 3g...

    I may be here till August. All depending on work since in Colorado currently I wasn't able to find any around Breck since its just locals there and well financial hurts when there are no tourists. May try and find a couple jobs here in MN until I move else where in August. If any one has any ideas please do let me know :D

    Sweet deal, I almost.. just almost went with a sedan but realized the hatch was more practical for me.

    Nice ride! Welcome to the forums.

    I used to live in Breck, back in '95/'96. That was a fun season.

    ^^^ I also like them in white! I usually don't like different color hoods but I do enjoy it very much on your WRX! Also, welcome to the site!

    Thanks for the good words! I'm not sure if I want to keep it CF or paint it yet. May just keep the CF and have Hood/Roof/Spoiler/Hatch all CF and rest SWP. Not sure though, that won't be till later on since I keep having to fix the car instead of putting stuff that matters on. As long as work is steady I'll be going stage 2 before my birthday in July. Getting tactrix cable prolly week after next. Car is still running funky, it sucks. Turbo kicks in at 3,000 then kicks in agan at 4,000from time to time...

    It should be peaking at 3,800 but it has a whole second pull to it at 4,000... also when idling it sounds like a boat when under 950rpms.

    If it were up to me id leave the CF hood as is. I think it looks sexy with the 08's clean hood lines, from the front it almost looks as if it is smiling
