General Vehicle Comments I purchased my 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX on June 30, 2008 at Triple S Auto Sales in Bossier City, LA. It had one previous owner and 78,900 miles on it. I bought it for $14,200. This car has served as my primary mode of transportation these 8 months and I look forward to many more years to come. |

Bulletin Board 5Aug2008- Today, I purchased a set of Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs. These will stiffen things up a little bit. It will drop the car's ride height by 1.8" in the front and 1.2" in the rear. I plan on purchasing new shocks to compliment these springs soon.
8Aug2008- I went to the Subaru dealership today and placed an order for a few Subaru Performance Tuning (SPT) items. I got the SPT Radiator Shroud, the SPT black license plate frame, and the SPT key fob. These items should arrive in about a week.
11Aug2008- Today, I bought a Cusco Front Strut Bar. I hope I get it soon.
10Sep2008- I installed my Cusco front strut bar and SPT radiator shroud today.
7Dec2008- My girl (cutietwirler) has bought me a pair of new JVC speakers for my WRX. Thank you baby! I can't wait until I get them.
14Jan2009- I've recently taken my spoiler off. Soon I plan on going badgeless. I like the clean look. Also, 2nd gear is gone. I'm researching putting in an STi six speed. It's pretty doable.
17Jan2009- I ordered a few parts for the WRX today. I ordered a STi transmission mount and purchased some new front speakers. Yay.
13Feb2009- I'm getting some new brake pads today. I'm also getting an Autometer Carbon Fiber Series Boost Gauge. Soon, I'll be getting an oil pressure gauge and an A-pillar dual gauge mount.
10Mar2009- I installed my new Brembo Sport Rotors today. They are just for the rear (for now). They also are drilled (see pictures). They are really nice and I can't wait to upgrade my brake some more in the future.
15Apr2009- I ordered my Autometer Carbon Fiber Series oil pressure guage today. When I get it, I'll be installing it and my boost guage in my car.
30June2009- Planning on driving to Dallas this weekend. Going to be looking into getting a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STi. It's black with 69,000 miles on it. The dealers price is $15000. If I can, I will own it.
3July2009- The STi was a bust. Apparently the car has a branded title because it was stolen and recovered a few years ago. I can't find anyone to finance it. Oh well. |

Future Plans I'm looking for an EJ257 with the six speed transmission. I will also need the STi differentials, driveshaft, shifter linkage.....DCCD controller...... |
