I got rid of the audi and got this....2006 STI. So far so good, car handles great! I test drove an 05 and compared to the 06, i'd say the 06 handles better. Still breaking it in, but miles are coming on fast.

OOOOooo, see if you can find a set of 04-05 tails...the 06 tails are too ricey for my tastes but the 06's look hot with the 04-05 tails!

$hit Andy, with all the other stuff you have been buying lately, you being the big business owner and all, you should be able to buy two of those...

not yet.... the equipement has paid for itself.... now its time for it to start paying me.

People pay for quailty... gotta have the right stuff. I know it seems like I am loaded. But everything I'm making has been going right back into the business.

Nice choice. The 06 does handle better then the 05's stock for stock.

Another option besides replacing the tails would be to paint them. Alot of people do that to the headlights. I did not paint my headlights, but I did clear the orange reflectors out of them. Very easy to do, and would be only $10 or so to do.

First things to do would be to take out the intake silencer. Easy thing to do, and lets you hear the turbo and intake a bit, no power, but hey...it sounds nice.

Where did you buy it from?

And I am sure there are a ton of people around here that know subarus, but if you have any questions feel free to ask me.

Don Jacobs took my money. I had a good experience with my sales guy, he wasn't pushy at all and waited for me the next day on his day off even though I didn't promise I would come in. Turned out good 'cause I bought it. hehe.

I'll take a look into that intake silencer, i'd love to hear the turbo more, one of my favorite automotive sounds. I have a friend that has one of first couple WRX's when they came out. Helped him work on his car a couple times, that includes a clutch, not too bad at all. Never ran into a problem with installing mods, except for when you go to do a clutch and find out that you forgot the "alignment tool". hehe But, i'll definately hit you up if anything arrises.

Nice car, love the color, but hate the giant rear wing.

You guys are weak. There is nothing that should be changed about that car. The tail lights look fine, the wing is sexy.

Take a picture about 4 carlengths directly behind the car.
