Possibly coming over to the darkside???

Just wanted to introduce myself. I had a big HP 2002 WRX. I sold that last year and picked up a '06 FX35. Well I miss my little turbo'd AWD car and love the way the EVO X looks and my wife wants my FX35. I will be test driving one soon and hopefully will snag one up

Out with the old...

I too came from the Scooby world. I had an 05 STi and before that a modded 03 WRX sedan. I still like Subarus, but I prefer my EVO. I'm going to start DDing my EVO once I sell my 98 2.5 RS coupe. I'm trying to talk my fiance into a new Forester XT.

Did you sell that Big HP WRX to a guy named Phillip in San Antonio? Cause it sure looks like a Subaru that frequents my driveway when he stops by. It has huge offset Works wheels now though and the reverse scoop is a delete. I think he did something with the front grill as well.

And welcome aboard.

That's him. It's a shame he is thinking of getting rid of her. He just sent me a PM on another board saying so. For a steal too. Hell of a nice guy, a shame to see her potentially get sold to a punk *** kid that might wrap her around a pole.

Anywho, thanks for the kind words everyone. Maybe Mitsubishi might keep the 0% financing around till the end of the year. I have to sell this Si sedan first.

Are those 04 Brembos on the WRX? I put the 06 4-pots on my 02. Stock brakes are horrible on those.

If I recall, the Brembos are not factory Subaru Brembos but aftermarket ones.

I don't know if it did then, but it now has an Axis Stg.4 2.35L Sleeved EJ22T block with Oliver rods, CP pistons connected to an STI 6-speed with working ACD. The axles are hybrids using a WRX end on the outer. The rear diff is a R180. It has a full STI interior, Defi's, Meth, NOS, etc. No expense spared. It is hard to start though and eats batteries. I'm not sure what it made at the wheel before but the tune on it right now is not hitting near its potential.

Actually they did come off an '04 STi. We had them painted red, hated the gold. Almost correct Brox, she has Pauter rods On a leaky head gasket she made 420 awhp on pump no alky and low boost. 500 awhp was attained w/ C16 and still no alky. Something is hindering her performance though.

I'm hoping Mitsubishi keeps the sales going, but I might have to wait a bit longer on the X. No rush, it is a buyers market right now though.
