  1. You can get with this...or you can get with that...
  2. With that said, it does handle extremely well. Someone who's not driven a stock WRX would not fully appreciate the bushing and bracing upgrades...but they do make a HUGE difference!
  3. I'm not sure YSR...I've never tried to duplicate Ken Block in my car. If you buy it though...I'll get some cones and we'll set up a course!!! Only AFTER you buy it though...
  4. I didn't mean to imply that the DCCD hasn't changed between the years...I was just stating its always been standard on the STi.
  5. DCCD has always been standard on the STi. You might be thinking of the I-Drive system. That was new for 2008 on the STi.
  6. 2002 was the first year for the WRX. 2004 was the first year for the STi. All have been AWD, STi has a 2.5 turbo flat four, WRX has a 2.0 turbo flat four. WRX is fixed 50/50 split w/ rear limited slip diff. STi has DCCD(driver controlled center diff) w/ front and rear limited slip diffs. WRX is 5 speed. STi is 6 speed. WRX=power. STi=more power. STi=sexy Brembo brakes. There are many more differences...but these are the main ones. There was also right around a $10k difference in MSRP...and comparing similar used WRX's to STi's, they still hold around a $10k difference. I can assure your friend he'll not find a cleaner, well cared for, properly modified WRX anywhere...and I appreciate you passing the link on to him. Thanks!
  7. SOLD!!! I wouldn't even think about selling my car...but I've found a 2007 STi that I've fallen in love with. In order for me to buy the STi, my WRX has to go! 2003 Sedona Red Pearl WRX Sedan w/ 41k miles(mileage will increase slightly, it is my DD). I am the second owner, purchased from the original owner in October of 2009 w/ 27,500 miles, and it was completely stock except for the Perrin exhaust. The original owner was a long time Subaru car salesman, he bought the car to use on the weekends...and it was hardly driven. It was a New York vehicle originally, and Carfax backs up the low miles. In the year and a half I've owned the car, I've made quite a few nice improvements. It's always ran like a top, and it's never let me down. The majority of the modifications I've done have been geared around the handling and "feel" of the car...not power. This car has NEVER had a larger turbo, injectors, or any other power adding modifications(only what's listed)...so no worries that the car has been run to death and put back to stock(like a lot of turbo Subaru's have). Everyone who knows me knows that when I do something, I do it right, no expense spared, and this vehicle shows it! Here's what all she's got: JDM Style Hood Scoop Painted Correctly(Black Uprights, same basic design as stock, just slightly taller). I have the stock scoop also. Perrin Stainless Steel Sport Tone Cat Back Exhaust(Can be replaced with stock cat abck exhaust in excellent shape if so desired). SPT Intake and Heatshield. Perrin Lightweight Crank Pulley. Drive Belts replaced w/ new Subaru items. A/C Belt Pulley replaced. NGK Platinum Spark Plugs. Ixiz Concepts Hood Struts(Stainless Steel version). Opensource Road Tune(just to make sure everything is safe). Group N Motor Mounts. Group N Transmission Mount. Group N Pitch Stop. Kartboy Short Shifter. Kartboy Front and Rear Shifter Bushings. Turn in Concepts(TiC) Shifter Pivot Bushings. MSI Tubular Lateral Links w/ Group N Bushings(all 8). Long outside lateral links bolts, washers, and nuts were replaced with new pieces covered in AntiSeize when links were replaced. Front Trailing Arm Group N Bushings. Rear Knuckle Group N Bushings(where trailing arm bolts to). Kartboy Subframe Lockdown Bolts. TiC Rear Diff Mount Bushings Race Version. Kartboy Rear Subframe Outrigger Bushings Race Version. TiC Fender Braces. TiC Master Cylinder Brace. Whiteline Steering Rack Bushings. Optima Red Top Group 35 Battery. Kartboy Battery Tie Down Bracket. WC Lathewerks Black Radiator and Alternator Shroud. FastWRX Dome and Map Light LED Lighting(not cheap replacement bulbs). 2007 17" WRX Wheels(MINT, No Curb rash at all) w/ 205/50R17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 Snow Tires(less that 2k miles on tires). Rally Armor Premium Mudflaps Front and Rear(Black w/ Grey Letters). WeatherTech Digifit Floor Liners Front and Rear. 15% Tint on Front Windows 5% Tint on Rear Windows, Back Glass, 6" Front Windshield Strip. Llumar Tint, Top of the line. Those who may not be familiar with Group N Style Bushings listed above...they are still a rubber bushing, yet have a durometer closer to that of polyurethane. Unlike polyurethane, Group N Bushings give off far less NVH. They are a factory Subaru part, designed for Group N Rally Racing, and they are maintenance free...never needing lubed such as polyurethane. For vehicle protection, I had a Viper 5901 Alarm System professionally installed w/ the following options: Remote Start, Window Automation, Glass Break Sensor, Rear Defroster Hook-up, and 2 120Db Interior Piezo Sirens(BIG $$). Oil and filter is changed every 2-3k miles with Subaru Filter and Shell Rotella 5W/40 Synthetic Oil. Car burns ZERO oil between changes. Four Wheel Alignment done roughly 5k miles ago. Car drives straight and true, no uneven tire wear. I can list alignment settings if necessary. Motul 300 Gear 75W90 in Transmission and Rear Diff. Motul Synthetic ATF in Power Steering. Peak Global Antifreeze plus Subaru Conditioner in Radiator. All service is up to date...this car literally needs nothing except a new owner!! Obviously it's a frozen tundra in Central Ohio right now...so the car is a little dirty, but here are a few pictures taken this past year. The interior is always kept very clean, and looks practically new. No rips or stains anywhere. The few pictures with the numbers on the glass were from an Autocross event I attended late last summer. This is the ONLY time the vehicle has ever been raced in any form. I'm 37, married, and drive the car responsibly. Price: $12,000 KBB Private Party Good Condition w/ low mileage add is $11,565 Seeing that I've put close to $5k in the vehicle the past year and a half...I think I'm asking a more than fair price for the car. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me, or give me a call. 614-406-8866 Thanks, Matt Rafferty

  17. Except for the drag racing videos...the videos posted here just reiterate my complete hatred for any and all Mustang owners. Every single one I've ever met thought their shit was the fastest and baddest Mustang ever built. Last summer me and some car buddies were over near Polaris at midnight taking some pictures of our cars. We weren't driving...just sitting there, taking pictures and talking. In pulls the most ragged put piece of shit 1986 Mustang with the biggest douchebag that ever got behind the wheel. He starts asking us if we knew some dude from Columbus Racing...as there was going to be a race. He says his car does 11sec quarter miles. We were like...your friends car? No, this one he says. We all start laughing...and the dude takes off, peels out, goes sideways, jumps a curb island area full of shrubbery, lands hard enough it rips his front plate off...and lord knows destroying what else... To this day we still laugh above that guy...and I've still got his plate in my garage. Idiots. BTD.
  18. I'll tell you all this... I specifically asked the Dublin cop who responded to my car break in incident the other night what would have happened if I shot the person breaking into my car. She said, and I quote, "You'd be under arrest right now". "If they were in your Condo...shoot away. In you car, nope". That's BULLSHIT!!! BTD.
  19. Viper, Clifford, or Compustar are the names I'm hearing a lot...but like I said...finding a quality installer is the most important thing to me. BTD.
  20. I agree 100%...but it would still make me feel better. I never leave anything of value in my car...no expensive stereo...and I'm not leaving my wallet in anymore... BTD.
