I installed my Forge BPV today! I'm so glad I got silver!

 

[UHATEIT]

that forge looks very nice, resembles stock valve very well. I would be affraid of the silver getting scratched up a bunch. Black looks almost identical to stock. Is there any mario coin pin clash sound while recirculated?

 

[DaleNixon]

It sounds slightly like Mario getting a coin. I'd say it's more along the lines of swords clashing together. I LOVE IT!

When I get on the throttle I hear the WHOOOOOOSHH of the intake, then I push in the clutch and it goes SSSHHHHPINGG CLINK!

I took it for a spin with a friend of mine who owns a highly modded BMW 330ci. I started getting into boost hard then shifting. The look on his face was priceless. He let out a few WOW's and whatnot due to the crazy sound and crazy acceleration. I'm about 99.9% sure my stock valve was leaking like a son-of-a-b****.

 

[Zimmer]

someone tell santa I want one dammit and i want one now!

 

[Babyface13]

Installed my CPE TBE last night!

 

[speed3guy]

If I have time before work Im gonna go get 2 new front tires for it. The 2 I have now are pretty bald and since it decided to snow like 6" last night. It was pretty fun driving in the snow last night!

well i finally installed my short shifter, bushings, and new shift knob this weekend (theyve been sitting in my room almost a year). Working on the car in the winter really sucks cuz I want to drive it with the fun new goodies, but weather doesnt always allow it. So far so good this week though, driving with the new shifter is fun and very solid, only thing i dont like is how cold the new knob is when i get in the car in the morning!

 

[TheRealDefman]

What have I done today??? Washed it. Over the weekend? Started stereo installation. Coming soon? Finish stereo, install Injen CAI.

 

[PCspeed3]

Took this pic today. I saw this Sti in front of sports authority so I parked behind him and took a comparison photo on my cell phone ( sorry for bad quality) He told me he has some $2,300 springs under it which seemed a tad pricey. But anyways, enjoy.

 

[RADAR THIS]

maybe he meant coils...

 

[bykeryder4life]

ha yeah thats alot for springs it must be coils, good ones too for $2k I bet

true story, i guess i'll have to just suck it up

 

[PCspeed3]

Yeah, I remembered what they were, Tein Mono flex coil's.

 

[MikeHTally]

Installed my rear cargo area tray. Got some "Zoom-Zoom" labels, too, but it'll be too cold for several days to put one on the back window.

 

[Kain]

Installed my HKS SSQV. Had to do it VTA until I figure out which way I want to recirc it.

 

[DaleNixon]

Kain are you experiencing any backfires between shifts running VTA?

 

[jeffjett]

Installed a set of Kumho Ecsta ASX tires 235-40-18 on my RX-8 wheels. Also installed mud flaps. I really like the Kumho's
