    Good evening all! I recently purchased my first STI, it is an Silver 04 with 50k miles that I purchased from the original owner (a 50 year old woman). I picked up the car about a month ago in Arizona. It is in really good shape and actually has quite a few mods.

    MODS: INTERIOR
    Extended armrest and dimming mirror (that’s the list of options on this car for 2004)
    Short Throw Shifter w/Titanium Shift Knob
    Kenwood Excelon DDX 7015 with remote control
    Sirius Satellite Radio, DVD, MP3, Navigation
    Alpine Speakers (all six separate speakers)
    Rockford Fosgate Series 1 “10” Bandpass bass tube (in trunk)
    Kenwood 2 channel amplifier (for the bass)
    Kenwood 4 Channel Amplifier # KAC-6401 (rest of speakers)
    Scytek Vectra X 55 Security System with Remote Start, Turbo Timer, pager.
    Dynamat on floorboards, in trunk, all doors
    Boost Gauge
    EGT Gauge
    Gauge Bezal

    Engine Mods:
    FP Red Turbo
    APS blowoff valve
    Injen TBE with Downpipe
    ACT SB4HDSS Street Clutch an ACT lightweight
    Walbro 255
    STI 740 Injectors
    ECUTEK Tuned and dynoed
    Perrin Turbo Inlet/CAI
    Large ESX Top Mount Intercooler

    The car runs well and there are still a couple of small items that I am working through. It made 328whp on a 91oct tune out in California. The suspension is completely stock and I am going to set it up with some RCE yellows along with some larger sway bars. I would like to do a coilover setup but it is just to damn much money. I also purchased a Tactrix cable and have been trying to get that setup so I can do some data logging and after some additional time and research tune it for E-85. I have some pics at work that I will grab tomorrow and post up.

    I am a GM guy that has done a lot quite a bit of LS tuning on some pretty quick cars so this is quite a move for me. Needless to say I have been getting a lot of S**T from my friends but I have to say I LOVE THIS CAR! I look forward to getting more involved with this community.

    You have to divide by zero.

    Welcome to the site! I'm with Ofspunk. That's a pretty kick-ass over-the-hill lady if she had all that installed herself.

    Pics are still on the way, I am at work and slammed. I will try to get something going tonight.

    Story about the owner and the car. She is a 52 year old retired LA cop that moved to AZ two years ago. The car was her toy and all "the guys" had cool fast cars. Three years ago she went to the local dragstrip, got mopped up and given **** for months to follow. At that point she brought the car to a shop out there where they went to town on it. Now that she is living in the middle of no-where and lives on a dirt road she can't stand seeing the car dirty and decides to part with it. Thats where I step in ;)

    Dont forget to carry the one!

    I live on the edge of CG and SPP about three blocks from Park Grove Bowl at the corner of Lincoln and 10th. I know there are a couple of WRX/STI guys that live next to my co-worker off of Jensen I believe. Is that you?

    Did not do any of the install herself but did a great job of keeping the car VERY clean!

    Here is a pic from the car when we picked it up from AZ. I only have cell phone picks of it since it made it home.

    In case anyone is wondering it takes 31 hours to drive back from Phoenix area straight through PITA!
