    Damn those things are expensive! Pretty cool little boost gauge, but I learned I drive like a sissy now. I had to read up a bit on the gauge before I understood it, but it's the inHG/PSI boost gauge. It sits right at 20 inHG at idle, and most of my driving hits about 4 PSI before I shift - and I thought I was "spirited" lol.
    I realized I have to get pretty close to WOT to see the gauge hit 14 PSI in 3rd and 4th gears (which makes sense), which I very rarely do. But considering the warranty I have on this damn car I should drive WOT all the time!

    Also finally decided on my winter tires, so I need to post up some pics soon. Settled on the Nitto SN2 snow tire on some 06-07 newly painted black rims - looks pretty sweet on a white WRX sedan, but I need some snow to really test those things. Still in the process of putting on my RokBlokz mud flaps too - those plastic push pins suck!

    Next on the list is some sway bars for next summer...

    Those tires are squishy!! I never got to test them on snow because I rolled my car within 5 minutes of paul walker dying. Nice choice with rokblokz I love mine and im not too sure why you are having trouble installing them, they took me 15 minutes per corner both times I've installed them..

    Well it's not like it's rocket science to install some mud flaps but I can't get the plastic screw to actually unscrew from the bottom side skirts - hence the reason they suck. I'm sure they're different then what you have on your car.
