Thread: '06 scooby 2.5i, stock and sold

I would deff do the 4pots! almost pulled the trigger on my legacy but then my center diff blew and I spent the money on that instead

not worth spending the $500 on them when i have other things going on. like wheel bearings. and a motorcycle build.

bought the hardware to install the side skirts i have a couple days ago. this requires me drilling into the side of the car for a few holes and then its just a bunch of clips that hold them on. they also need paint, but i "got a guy" for that.

also laid down the moneys for tires today so i can get my 18s on the car soon.

i need to get around to installing my coilovers one of these weekends. i figure i should attempt getting everything on the car before may so i dont have to worry about it being ready for automotion.

Side-skirts? not going all ricer on us are you?

your "guy" isn't the same "guy" that has your bike still.......right????

they're stock WRX side skirts. now you won't be able to see my pinch welds from the side of the car anymore. it'll look clean, i promise.

no, not even close.

these are ready to go on next weekend. it's time to get back to being a little lower.

Cost total on this is somehwere around $1300 for what I have into them. Not sure on drop either. I'll get it dialed in when we get them on the car (they are height adjustable if you didn't notice).

Yeah, I'm very happy. Can't wait to get them in to see how they feel and how the car reacts. Should be fun.

Super fun?

Can't wait to mess your car up on Saturday haha

KW's are fantastic. ride quality and handling are both improved greatly over stock.

well, that's what i'm hoping for.

i'm currently riding around on 75k mile stock struts with some tanabe DF210s (basically the lowest spring i can get) and i hate life sometimes depending upon road quality.

tomorrow:
- tires should get delivered

sometime later in the week:
- tires should get mounted and balanced (i have baller new valve stems, too)

next saturday:
- side skirt install
- coilover install

next monday:
- alignment at 8AM


it's gonna be one of those weeks!

3 months down the way, you get a message from "the guy" about the bike.

Gonna be fun tho, cant wait to see how the skirts look on the car once low

yeah, i basically gave up on any time frame on that bike. the guy is too flakey for me to make any 'plans'.

maybe i'll be have it out by NEXT spring...
