and i just started wearing gloves - way better than having to wash your hands a million times.

Oh and nick, matco makes a sick Subaru axle pin remover. I was planning on ordering it 2day. I guess I should have ordered it sooner. Haha, it's ok! It wasn't too bad once I got the right size punch | |

| Got my exhaust on finally. I don't really know for sure but I think it's a 2.5rs exhaust. I'm happy to say that pretty much my whole maintenance list has been completed at least for now. Saving some money for wheels and tires right now! Goals for the next 6 months are,
- 2.5rs or 2.5rs wheels w/ Direzza S specs or dz101s - 04 Sti shocks w/ 2.5rs springs - swaybarable lateral links - Wrx rear sway bar w/ Tribeca front sway bar

I'm 80% sure it is a 2.5rs exhaust. I'll let you know for sure tho next time I see one. Wheel funds are a must lol. Got to get my track game on! | |

| Handling is out of control, I have to be going a lot faster to get sideways. | |

| Yes, wayyyyy better. Still has a tiny bit of rumble but it's nice and smooth. I also got a little tq back. Exhaust velocity = win | |

| Ok well thanks man. Yea, eventually I'm going to need to order a Tribeca front sway bar, some brackets, and maybe lateral links. I'm going for a 100% OEM build so I'm sure I will need more
ninja edit with the godspeed lateral links haha

Funny story Haha, I was on campus dropping my gf off and a cop asked me if I was stuck cause I pulled into this giant plowed pile next to the sidewalk. I told him we would find out in a second haha these tires rock. I went out to play for a second and decided I was way to tired lol. - Undertaker4 wrote:

if i were you i would recommend contacting Kash in a different manor, he hasnt logged on in a while Yea, I doubt he wants to sell it anyways. Looks like I might be picking up some wrx shocks this week too. I'm still trying to decide if I want to hold out for inverted sti shocks or not. | |

The pinks are worth it bro. I've driven stock wrx and a wrx with pinks and the pinks are alot stiffer and seem to have better characteristics over the wrx. If that makes any sense lol! | |
