Flat4awd's EJ205 STM GC8

Thanks Dave, it comes in pretty handy. Will I be graced by your unicycle abilities this winter, sir?

 
hahah probably, I would like to finally recreate the Ken Block/segway stunt this winter with the unicycle but I don't think we shoud try it with your RS. I'm pretty sure that qualifies as something stupid.

Got this sexy piece of jewelry in the mail today (not the mountain dew):

I didn't attach it since I have to bleed my brakes today, and it would get in the way, or I would spill fluid on it. Rest assured, it will be installed soon though

Question & Answers with Rick:

Q: Do you think this will make your car faster?

A: No, I personally think it looks cool though.

Q: Do you think since it's carbon fiber, it weighs less and it will make you faster?

A: No, I personally think it looks cool though.

Q: Do you think this will improve your handling?

A: Coupled with all my other handling mods, it will improve 0.0000001% of turn in. So, Yes.

Q: JDM parts are so gay.

A: Uhh, okay, so don't use them?

Q: That last question wasn't a question.

A: Neither was this one.

Thanks!

 
First name JDM, last name Gary said that it was 8 out of 10 for condition! I couldn't believe the shape it was in when I pulled it out of the box, I wonder what he considers a 10/10...

 
Since my silver beauty was being stored at my Mom's, I had to shovel for a couple hours to recover her from the snow fortress/ barricade. I ended up pulling her out with the Legacy and my tow strap, it was pretty hilarious. I took her up town to stretch her legs and give her a much needed bath:

Future plans: I'm looking for someone to touch up the clear coat that is peeling on the passenger side. I'm looking for decent work, PM me if you are interested. I'm also looking at getting this thing a much needed pro tune; I'm thinking about Granite State, please PM me if you've worked with them and you are happy with their pricing/work! Other than that I'm thinking anti lift kit/ trans mounts/ urethane bushings throughout every inch of this car, maybe adjustable lateral links too, who knows. Get in touch if you have lateral links/bushings/anything to stiffen up this already harsh ride. Feel free to comment and tell me your thoughts.

 
my next mod is bushings and a less gigantic sway bar.

as for paint ive learned the hardest.....i suggest moodys

 
Trailing arm bushings. motor + trans mount (group N or aftermarket) + alk or STi arms. That will help your turn in + drivetrain slop.

I really like STi arms with the pin flip trick, but you're running a GC and the sti junk is wider so you need alu wagon arms or GC sti alu arms. The alk is good, but it feels like a bandaid vs the sti pin flip.

If you need links to what to buy let me know.
