I am a Grand Am Fanboy. When I first came to the States, I thought those 80's Grand Am's were very dandy looking cars, and I've been a fan since(I call G6s a Grand Am, too).

I prefer the 4dr though. Sorry. :P
 
Im still soo jelous of your car Roo, i'd love to own a mini, and yours looks to be in brilliant condition too :)

Thanks! You could own a Mini too - you just have to spend less money on 1:18ths :D

The red Mini to the right of mine, incidentally, has a supercharger - 0-60 in 6.5, 140mph top whack, £16,500 spent (including buying the car for £6k and supercharging it for £4k). One day, I shall own a Mini like that... :)

Looks good!

Are you doing L2B this year?

Yep. 20th May, if you happen to be nearer Brighton then than you are now :) Hoping for better weather - the rain was properly biblical last year.

I wouldnt have done that. Now everyone is going to think that your car is as fast as an sti. It may be though, I dont know what you have done to it.
 
I dont' see what you're complaining about. You've got more power than I do.


Oh, no complaints here, it's actually pretty quick in a straight line (could smoke any civic ricer out there!), and it's been a great car overall (have had it for 11 years now)... good power, good looks, good fuel economy and very reliable. But it's days are numbered with out little addition (see avatar)... something with 4 doors and a bigger trunk is in order.

well im not quite as fast as an sti, but im not stock either. let people think what they want. i dont race anyone so it doesnt matter to me
 
I'd like to see a pic of that STi you got the spoiler from, as I'm curious to see how it looks with the whale tailish spoiler from the bug eyes :P
 
who agreed to switch with you though?

Not much of a shot, but the last picture in his post sorta answers your questions ;) :

Its funny how the trunk from the newer Impreza will still fit on the older one.
The 2008 Impreza will be the first all-new Impreza since 2001. All three "styles" inbetween have been essentially the same car.

Thats cool man. Dont get me wrong, I like the way it looks with the spoiler, but I probably wouldnt have put it on...still, awesome car man!
 
Very nice car IDAFC21 👍!

thanks!

whats even more amazing was the paint was still a perfect match. a 5 year old car and a brand new car. subarus paint may be thin, but it sure doesnt fade!

thanks!
 
Can I ask you something? Is that drain pipe of an exhaust stock? Same with the STI, its rediculous looking IMO.

Just a touch smaller would be good.

haha, no its not stock. im actually not very fond of it myself, but its a great exhaust system and sounds amazing.

that sti muffler is stock tho
 
I officially hate you!
So what mods are you running on her?

lol :crazy:

stock turbo/intercooler
larger secondary injectors
3" intake/downpipe to exhaust
front and rear sway/strut bars
rtek ECU


once i finish the body, i'll be looking to go with fully adjustable coilovers, a larger turbo/intercooler and a nice port! looking to make 350RWHP... :dopey:
 
Its got an SR20 in it ;) :D

Someone around here has a bug eyes 2.5 RS with the STi spoiler... looks terrible on that. Much nicer on a WRX.

ANd thanks for the pics of the STi... kinda like it, though I spaced on the roof spoiler being there now, guess an '05 would probably work better with the WRX spoiler.

Oh well, still awesome how the colors match and all.
