Hello IGOTASTi,
I'm Ben, an Army Paratrooper medic, I'm originally from Colorado, own two Subarus: a 2011 Forester XT Touring in PRP (wife's car) and my money pit (aka The Beast), my 2002 WRX-turned STi. Quick background on The Beast: purchased used with 33k miles in Oct. 2005 (mfg date 05/01), sent it off to Germany with me for 3yrs. In 2008, the opportunity presented itself to perform an STi swap, as a friends' wife rolled their 05 STi. I purchased said wreck for $5k as if I didn't, I'dve looked a gift horse in the mouth and regretted it. Then began the months-long wait for parts to either upgrade existing or replace broken parts. Finally, in Oct 08, she lived again and was promptly taken to the 'Ring, as I was getting ready to depart Germany and refused to miss the opportunity. (Great experience BTW!) I met Gino (rek888v2, aka Hank) when I first got to the Bragg area, and he took me and mine in while we looked for a place to live; he's now like a brother to me, a shit-talking, parts-trading brother. Since getting my car here, it's been in a constant state of modification, and currently sports just about everything Grimmspeed offers, Spearco TMIC, 38mm EWG, TD06-20G 7^2cm housing, VMS SB, just about every upgraded bushing/mount I could get, RCE yellows, Cusco sways and much more I'll have to type up later, as I'm waiting to jump out of a half-decent helicopter ATM.
Official mod list will come soon......
