CBRD in the snow!!!
it seems everyone in the northeast can only pick up their X's if its snowing lol!

Anyway, car smells like its on fire, only 14 miles on it lol...

installed the boost gauge in the lower cubby opening... spikes to 24.5 psi, immediately drops to 20, then nosedives to 12...

we will probably pop a larger turbo on it i n a week or two, inside of the stock turbo housing...

here are the pics..

last night,



and today..





and our 08 sti, on snow wheels/tires







I like them both, they are both softer than previous versions, and slower.... but we havent tuned them yet...

we are working on exhaust systems, lowerings springs, etc for both...

cheers

i prefer the evo over the sti at this point....

they are both softer, more comfortable, more refined, i think it was a good decision marketing/demographic wise for both companies...

there are plenty of companies out there, like us, ready to raise the bar on these cars...

great things to come..

our technician also has an 08 sti coming... so we will have a little bit of both.

Wow up until that last shot of the sti I never really thought it looked good at all. That last shot though makes it look awesome.

Car looks great. I hope they bring an X RS here, with ABS/EBD this time though.
