Got an alignment today.. All good..
Front -1.5, 0 Toe Rear -1.75, 0 Toe It still drives amazing. Love it. also like my 'Whooosh' sound when I let off the gas.. 'The Sneeze' I call it. then followed by the spool.. Love that. BTW Factory BOV. Continuing to work on my spats..I am purposely taking my time with them so they come out correctly -AutoDim/Compass/Homelink Mirror shows up today but I will be at work.. Can't wait to install this also. Gauges in mocked up.. just have to run the Oil pressure Sensor and Water temp Sensor to the gauge.. and those should be ready to go.. Then button everything down for the gauge pod. Found out my spoiler LED for the Brake light doesn't work :/ I don't know if its the wiring or the light so I will have to get a meter/probe out to check that out. I want to install my AP but I am hesitant right now. as I a little concerned that it might have a Open Source Flash already on it. Stg1 if anything.. but I don't want to "Brick" my ECU in the process. so I need to find a 'Stock Map' before I update to the Cobb Stage 1+ ... thanks for following along. I could Insta.. but FB is more my thing I guess..

That's really cool. The old STIs are totally different than the new ones. They went from so tricked out and special to... not.

Went to my local Dealer and got some more OEM parts and to check on some more things that I am thinking about. Drove the STi ...had a nice 100mi drive round trip...thru the countryside..it was 76 degrees with a slight breeze.. Awesome.. MY FAVORITE.
-Belt moldings showed up.. just need to find time to install them. -Trunk Springs for the STi Wing.. -LF Fender liner .. needed that baaaad.. Heres a quicky pic as I got home I still think it looks amazing. ENJOY |

Got the New Belt Moldings on.. Wow What a difference.. Attention to DETAIL is what its all about. Didn't get pic yet. but the before and after is HUGE.. the old ones were in OK shape..nothing special and they had a couple of Hail dings in them.. But the NEW ones Make the car appear way more cleaner .. obviously since they are new.. 1st coat of Clear on the front Spats is done..have to wetsand and get them 100% smooth.. then I can apply a 2nd coat of clear... polish again.. and see where I am at. I will get some more pics probably tomorrow.. we have a local meet Sat.. so I will get to Debut it. Thats pretty exciting within it self. .

This is so sick. I sometimes wonder what happened to my WRX, but I don't think I'd ever want it back after what I put it through haha.
