So... 2 weeks later and no pics Steve? What gives man!

He's not done detailing it yet.

2 weeks sounds about right to clean & detail it. Maybe he changed his mind & sold it?

funny funny.

I have a pic or two but they are just lame poor lighting car sitting in the garage pics. Maybe I'll make a stop on my way home from work and try to take a quick one or two. It was nice out so I drove it today.

I actually bought a bunch of parts already too just not to a point where I have everything needed to move along and get them installed.


Any of you guys planning on going to the Williamsburg C&C this weekend? I might go if weather looks good.

What did you end up replacing the S with, Steve? Or is it super secret?

It's Steve. Take a wild guess.

Here's a pic from right after I got it. Thankfully I've since removed the stupid mudflaps from the car.




Here's a pic of some of the parts I've got for it already. I'm going to be converting the front knuckles/hubs to the 05+ parts that have a much better wheel bearing and it will also let me use the 05-07 suspension which makes it much easier to find. Plus it'll be that much easier to convert to 5x114 down the road (if I keep it that long )

V9 STI Spec-C struts with JDM pink springs - slightly drop and increase in spring rate Supposedly the 05+ shocks are better than the 04 stuff anyways so that's another improvement.


Camber plates which are much needed up front on this car. I might actually get these installed sooner than later and then swap them to the new struts once I get the rest of the parts needed to change the knuckles/hubs

Very nice. Congrats!

I was going to say "Pinto"? jk

The other cool thing I didn't mention above is that the car is a 2004 and had just over 16k miles when I bought it
