[i like speed]

Need a different battery that doesn't clash so bad... or just relocate it.

Yah, no doubt. The previous owner put that hiddious oversized batterie in there. Going to get a light weight battery when I can. (rockon)

4/29/09 UPDATE:

I cut out the cross bars in my bumper to get ready for some fogs:

I installed my TWM shifter bushings. Much cleaner and solid shift. Anables me to shift quicker. Here they are compaired to the stock shifter bushing after I got it out:

Headers are going in on friday, and hopefully getting my fogs installed tomorrow so be bringing you another update soon

5/3/09 UPDATE:

Got a couple good updates for you guys and galls. First one is I got my fogs installed. It turns out the HID fogs I bought for the car did not fit in the car since they are so deep(unless I wanted to cut up the bumper beam) so I exchanged them for some Hella 500's. A big thanks and props go's out to obsnw for doing about 90% of the work:

Next up is I got my headers installed thanks to Rei_Akira who did most of the work as well. Went to his awsome shop at his house where we used his lift.

Stock vs Aftermarket

Installed:

BEFORE & AFTER SOUND CLIPS!:

BEFORE(with just hybred intake and performance drop in filter):



AFTER:



Next updates coming in the future will be getting my doors and wrx wing painted and installed so the should be next in the near future. Till next time, Dan

Thanks man. Yah I got lots of Suby frends that help me with the car so that helps. Although I have still done most of the work on this car

[mazdaspeed777]

LOL. dude, bury that pic.

lol no way. It shows me all the progress I have made on this car. (2thumbs)

 

[Wagonbacker9]

some things are better left in the past! lol

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

lol. where as that does hold some truth. i agree with keeping them.. mine's come along way. and without the before pictures, some people might not be able to see the difference.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Yuck!

Agreed, keep the old pics

 

[Wagonbacker9]

dub, you should just dump your "middle" pics. lol. no one needs to see what you tried to do before coming to your senses.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

If I just show a stock white lx and then mine, the effect is there but not that strong so I gotta show the BC-2 in between the lx and msp. muahahaha

 

[Wagonbacker9]

[mazdaspeed777]

Decided to make a modlist to better keep track of all the stuff I have done to the car and to make it easier on new comers to see what I have done. I posted it on post #3 on the first page

Looky what I just got! 02/03 Rear WRX complete brakes for a disc brake conversion from my drum brakes:

I think all I need are ebrake lines and I am good to go. The ebrake shoes are all taken apart though so I have to figure out how all that go's back together. Anyone have a diagram for that?
