I love the car to death, the best part is when you feel the turbo kick in and that it has 4 doors.

im voting for stooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
because gc>all

 

x2 for stooo x 5679

GC's stick together!

 

Oooh, I'd vote for Stoooo as well. That car sure is purdy, has some good add ons and looks like it's put to good use.

 

very nice looking car. I was wondering do the rear diff bushings help with that bang when you shift at higher rpms. Sorry if thats a really noob question.

 

They are alleged to, yes. I'm fairly gentle with my shifting, so even though I'd never heard the bang myself, I had heard of it. So, I went looking for it, and was able to hear the bang before we installed these. When I went looking for it again, I couldn't make it happen. However, we installed a *lot* of stuff that day, so how much of an effect these would have on their own, I really can't say.

But since they only take 10mins to install, you might want to try them out for yourself. Whiteline, Super Pro Poly and Kartboy all make them, and the choice seems to come down to your colour preference. You seem to like blue, so you might want to get yourself a set of the Super Pro Poly ones.

Stuart.

 

Cool, thanks for the write up. I looked them up and they are only $40. How about engine mounts, will they make the car feel more solid under acceleration? Thanks, Taras
P.S should probably take this to PM's.

 

Rubbish ! Just go start a new thread. Or perhaps we could take this to the Tech Tips forum that somebody reminded us of just the other day.

Stuart.

 

Gotta love action pics.

 

Check out Dan's site, it's all action pics. The one I posted is from the 2007 MOWOG III collection.

dr00l @ teh tbonemobile

 

fantastic mod.... ha ha ha with all the mods you have you had to add that.. that is funny

 

Is nothing wrong with that....I'm part RICER...it's in my blood.....lol

 

my vote it for tbone...:+1:

 

added dyno vids from clark's tuning

 

ok, no chance for me to win this one.

 

Tbone, what kind of numbers are you putting down?

 

Sorry Boys but Tbone gets my vote, no point for me to enter anymore even caus i would vote for his car over mine. lol

 

my vote goes to Tbone also

 

tbone FTW!!! Pure HOTNESS!

 

Tbone....

 

Tbone!! got my vote... sorry taras.. not a fan of the ebay grill!

 

sounds like Tbone is the winner

 

well, I guess you guys made my job just a bit easier this month.

 

Geez guys....Thanks to all....
I will posted my dyno graph soon scuba steve

 

While I agree that T-bones bugeye is ever sooo sexy... My Vote would be to Stooo or Josh, as while they arent as modified as some others, THEY DID their mods.. (most of them...) so STOOOOOOO would get my vote...





sorry Tbone... your car is sicker then ever....

 

Cheers, Nate. But in all honesty, I *have* had a good deal of help with some of my mods. Many thanks in particular to speedyham and Jeff the Alignment Guy. But I do make a solid effort to be as involved as I can be with each new mod, that's for sure.

I'm also very interested to see tbone's dyno chart. My 112WHP will be as naught by comparison, I'm sure.

Stuart.

 

I wish i could kept my RS. I bought her completely bone stock at the dealership. Then i met this guy who also drive a RS and he also refer to me the MNSUBARU. Few knew me back how I starting some dumb noob questions. hahahaha NO BS but Good times.
Then I'm starting modified in piece by piece. By that time being i realise that there was so much money and time into it the way i wanted. 3 years later I came across to da shadowz which it was already modified from its owner. It was pretty prisewise for me so I bought it.
Few things it was done by me and mostly PGT. Turbo oil leak, blew the rear diff, shot the whole clutch assembly. True story
My rs was a 2dr and i wanted a 4 door, just because it's an easy access to put a car seat back for little tbone.

it's cool nate, nothing to apologizing!!!!!
Vielen Dank

 

yeah... your car is very very very nice... I was drooling at the cruise... I agree if the price is right it does save time....


I know you will win this months anyways....

 

when is your car entering?

 

probably never.... I dont think it is that great (other than being a good clean car), but it isnt anything too fancy so maybe a year or so when the big dogs have all won and cant enter ha ha haha
