    Noooo, where'd the Impreza go?!!? Dealership or a person?? I LOVED that paintjob!

    The TurboXS RFL is the loudest one I've ever heard. If you want to hear it, we can meet up and I'll blow mine off for ya a few times. ( :oops: )

    Either that or you can just cut your stock airbox resonator and you'll hear the recirc valve without any issues. It's free too :)

    congrats on the car! i like the sound of the blitz super sound... try listening to one of those.

    learning to drive it shouldn't be a prob. If you can get the car to go from a stop to moving. You'll be set, you can always gas it abit inbetween shifts to keep it smoother while letting off the clutch.

    congrats on teh car! what did happen to the GC?

    any way for the BOVs, there is a post about these in teh mods section i think by jason, you wont get any performance gains by adding a BOV. in fact they may make your car run worse. the stock vavle is good to 20psi i belive, and is a recirc valve. most after market valves are atmospheric. so instead of recirculating your air they just dump it out. this cuases issues w/ the stock computer. since i thinks it should have more air then it does, you will run RICH in between shifts.

    the RFL is the loudest. my friends hinda had one. you could hear it 2 blocks away at 2psi. the HKS SS is supposed to have a nice sound, or there is always the duck call.

    awesome mo...nice car, love the color. i thought you had left us.

    as for the shifting, you must just give yourself practice. you will need to learn the basics before you can start double clutching, heel-toeing, and left foot braking. as for bov's...we all know they are bad.blah blah. i have the regular turboxs bov which is loud enough, which usually yo ucan get on the cheap. as for the hks ssq, awesome sound, but quite pricey.

    anyways, see you at firestone.

    Cool, so can u give me exact dirctions on how to do it....

    And thanks alot everyone...My gc went to the dealer, I am so happy that I did not sell it to a person, to tell u the truth it was in very very bad condition with the pully system...but anyways that behind me now...

    Oh yeah I do understand that a blow valve is not the best thing for a wrx but I in love with the sound so again i am looking for the loudest so...sounds like it's either going to be the HKS SSQ or the TURBO XS

    You could've at least traded your RS wheels to me. Unless you had an L, I can't remember. I've been wanting a set of those for forever. Seems like no one has any....

    If you get a chance, come on in and I can show you. Hell, if you come in after we close (unless it's on a Friday) I can put your car on a hoist and help you do it. It only takes about 20 min and it's a decent free mod in that it won't really harm the car and you can hear the recirc valve much better. PM me and we can set up a time.

    Congrats on the new but used WRX. I hope to see you with it sometime. Looks like you already hate it stock. ;)

    Just remember, although you may be invincible to most Hondas and Acuras, you are not invincible to trees, light posts, street lights, cops, pedestrians, etc.
