Thanks guys

@Matt, the brant alarm actually works in this one, and I'm not sure what disabling it will do with my insurance which is already on thin ice? I plan on replacing it with a Viper system in the next month.

@Simon, the Kreutzers have been sold
As much as I loved them, no way was I keeping an 8" wide set of wheels when this can fit 9.5's comfortably

So, hows the rexy?

[Kody.B]

Oops, been a bit busy and haven't had time to check the forums.

The WRX is amazing. My exemption arrived 3 days ago so I've finally be able to drive it. It's a bit of an adjustment in the fact that now everyone immediately presumes I'm a dick head because of the car XD
That being said, I don't care. The car is so much more involved to drive, it doesn't rattle, handling is even better stock than my Lib on coilovers, it's just a very nice car to drive.

That being said, between the insurance costs and the fact that this car is somewhat... Conflicted as a daily (too loud, too obnoxious etc) I probably won't keep it after I'm off my p's. I think once that is done a 335i or the likes would be a solid upgrade

do it

that engine (135i or 335i either way same same) once tuned is pretty much all you will really ever need in a street car

[Kody.B]

For sure!

How's your 135i going Ed?

[Jack_Keaka]

For sure!

How's your 135i going Ed?

[Jack_Keaka]

[Da4sti3]

Very nice Kody I love that shape too !!
Congrats you should stay on the forums still although alot of people stay on and give advice etc to other newbies so hang around !

[cooki_monsta]

I'm selling mine too. I just bought a 350Z.

[Kody.B]

Yeah daniel I'll be staying and hopefully helping out, I might even keep this build thread for the WRX.

Nice choice Allister, I was also looking at 350's

*too poor

moved to city so couldnt justify keeping it when used one day a week at most

[Kody.B]

That's sad to hear Ed, it was a beautiful car.

Well the Liberty has sold now and I will miss the car, such a great first car and was such a learning experience even though it was very lightly modified.

Now the plans for the WRX start, I already have my new HU in and have dynamatted the car. Have a new air filter and have blast pipes on the back now to replace the canon.

I have just ordered a gauge pod and I am getting Prosport Halo Gauges (Air/Fuel Wideband, Boost & Oil pressure or temp - I'm not sure yet, can anyone advise?) to keep an eye on things. Matt will be tuning it when he's in Brisbane next hopefully.
I will be ordering an STI wing, and am about to put four Bridgestone Potenza 235/40/18's on the CS9 rims to make it stick to the road better

Im in the process of deciding what to do with mine

which Evo are you getting? I've only recently started to not hate them. however their owners are still questionable
