The 12 second project (Sneak Peek)

[protegeV]

mother of GOD< that must be over 5grand in parts...Ive never seen all that crap at once(shocked)

 

[WShade]

are you gonna upgrade the intercoller? Sorry for noobness.... Oh and DAMN nice car....

Yes, a larger top mount. A front mount would hint at the power (sssh) . Thanks.

Which one do you plan on going with?

 

[WShade]

APS or Perrin. I need to do a little more research.

I've heard the Helix is pretty efficient also. Im planning on going with the Jspec STI TMIC, Im keeping it simple

 

[WShade]

True, true. What'cha got?

 

[RODSCALIP5]

True, true. What'cha got?

05 WRX, stock for now, except for a few exterior mods(greddy front, STI rears). Im saving up for the STI Pinks, D-specs, Cusco front and rear swaybars/strut bars, Work wheels, how is the ride with the suspension setup you have?

 

[WShade]

Good choices. You will notice a serious improvement. The new suspension is tight and smooth. Under normal driving you really don't notice the difference that much. But, dive into a corner and instant excitement.

very nice....im at the borderline of going to a new car also...go with a wrx now or wait a yr when I have more money and the evo9 is out....or maybe by that time Ill be able to afford an VIII MR.....

Love the way the prodrives fit with your suspension work, great wheels.

why did you go with seperate springs/struts as opposed to coilovers?

 

[LinuxRacr]

Damn Will, I can't believe that I just caught this thread! What's Corey saying now about your econobox? You can do 12's easily soon. I'm gonna have to make a road trip to San Antonio soon. Talking to you in the begining got me into this boost game.

Had JIC FLT-A2 on the P5. Too much for the street, perfect for the track.

 

[Rogue]

what about TEINs? I have those now, and I've gotten used to the ride. I know they're not as stiff as the JICs. Though, if I could do it over again, I would have gone with seperate struts/springs just because of the cost.

He loves it. I am not really worried about the 12's, too many other guys doing it with the same set up. My problem is being satisfied with my 12 sec baby carrier and not wanting 11's. Like I told you before, as soon as my daughter is old enough to ride without a booster seat, S/C Vette here I come. When you are ready to make the trip let me know.

It crossed my mind, just did not want to deal with it. I have plenty for the streets.

i've thought about getting a WRX....once I get out of debt and pay off the Pro5.

Your car just looks so sweet!!

btw, is it just me or does it look like the front sits higher than the rear (referring to the sideveiw picture)

Thanks. I had the old suspension and two wheels in the car. I guess I was a little anxious about taking the picture. I will make sure they are better next time. (sad2)

hehe the Viii mr is dope, and the evo9 will be nice as well, but overall there isn't a whole lot of difference between any of them. The MR has the 6th gear and a 10.5 hotside piece which increases spool a bit. Either way you can't lose going with a WRX or evo!!!

You'll get 12's without a doubt. hehe It'll be hard not to want 11's

nice man...im going to be in the same boat soon i think despite not wanting to mod. first thing is some gold rota subzeros and a drop with the pro springs, and a kartboy shifter/busings/knob (hate stock shifter).

what do you suggest for turbo back exhaust setup? i see that subydude seems to have a complete system for like 600 shipped...
