VERY nice!!! :) i want one. ;) peter

well . . . an apexi S-AFC would be installed, too. :D peter

i've had my P5 for about a month now. 2600 miles. paid $16,200 with NO options (they're kinda pointless, IMO), and got 4.9% financing for 60 months. i did get a 6-disc changer in the car, but i think that was a mistake on the dealer's part, as i didn't request it or get charged for it. :D...

yeah, it's like that, but it all depends on the driver, really . . . personally, i like the high-strung (i.e., honda's B-series VTECs) feeling. i plan on the mazdaspeed 10.7:1 pistons and a thinner head gasket for my P5. i've had some high-compression cars (last one was an integra type R . . ...

actually, it's quite the contrary, depending on how your state of tune is (for N/A). a well-tuned N/A engine will actually get better gas mileage than stock, provided your foot isn't on the floor the whole time. :D peter

heh, right on... :) an LSD would seriously be needed . . . hell, it's needed on the stock P5... i get your point, though. funny, though, how subaru gives you an SCCA membership when you buy a WRX, but if you actually use it, heh, guess what? :bs: SOA is a bunch of idiots anyway. let's...

LOL! good call... :p personally if i do anything with the car, it'll be N/A. too much power in a FWD car is ridiculous....IMO. if i want a turbo, i'll buy a car that comes with one from the factory....i.e., WRX. :D peter

had i not jumped directly to the 2nd page of the thread, i would've seen the link. my, you are a snotty one! :rolleyes: peter

does anyone know what the stock plugs are? i haven't yanked one out yet... my old impreza 2.5RS came from the factory with champion plugs, for some godforsaken reason (champions only run well in lawnmowers!).....i replaced them with some NGK coppers and the ******* car not only started better...

jsgolfer, where are the pics? :confused: peter

SCC is very picky, and they dig the progress coilovers, a lot. my theory is...don't judge unless you have first-hand experience. seriously. ground control makes a great product, i've had 3 sets. but they get a horrible rap on the subaru boards (i-club is particular), and the few people...

eric, do you have any pics of your car with the progress springs? thanks! peter

(rofl) good luck! glad to help out (especially because i called tom @ kartboy about the damned snap ring when i was installing mine... :D). peter

there's two white plastic rings . . . one goes below the ball on the shifter, one goes above. then the snap ring goes in to secure everything in there. also, just to voice again, the snapring doesn't look like it's seated properly in the back there. FYI, i used a very small flathead...

$13,970? :eek: that's nearly $2K under dealer invoice! how the hell did you manage that? peter
