Talking It's back! It's back! My cute lil beast is back!!!

Well, after 3 loooooooooooong weeks, I finally got my car back today. I installed SO MUCH stuff on the car that I did not exactly know what did what, but I can personally say that my car as it sits right now HAULS some serious A$$. I am going to dyno it this weekend or the next, and Brendan, you promised me some space to upload some vid? Gonna try to take some tomorrow. I will be meeting up with the owner of the fastest Impreza in Jakarta, a Euro M3 and a brand new (should be my first roadkill) STi. I am excited. We are gonna do some hush-hush freeway runs!!!!

Not gonna post pics of the engine bay, coz it's already posted on the other thread, but here's a couple from tonight:

SLeeper, yes?



Black chrome headlight lens replacement:



Enjoy!

*****NEW PICS: (Engine bay and Defi gauges)*****

LOL! I already have HKS coilovers but I blew the front 2 struts because of a mis-install. They are currently back in HKS Japan under warranty so I had to revert back to my old shocks and H*R springs, but they ride ok....... so far....
