Linx77's 2006 WRB STi

[Linx77]

Well, I've posted a couple threads already and well I thought I may post up the part of the journey my car has been through...

The many stages of Linx77...My never ending story!

So I bought my car back in 2006 and like most couldn't wait to go stage 2. Now I always like to do it a bit different than everyone else, so of course I didn't just go stage 2, I went stage 2 with an EWG :D . I took my car over to XXTuning back when Tony was tuning Subies and Evos. He did an excellent job and gave me a fun reliable tune.

The tune below however is that of Chris's

Well, since I'm never fully satisfied with my car I always change it up. I got rid of the EWG set up and ordered an Invidia V2 downpipe. I later added a SSA FMIC, SPT intake, and Forge BPV. I was road tuned for these mods @20psi.

I was unhappy with the way the hood was sitting. The passenger side was popped up above the fender just a little too much for my tastes so I put the OEM hood back on and tried to get it sorted out with the Vendor, but no luck!

-Painted OBP BBS's
-RCE V.2 Yellow Springs
-COBB Front sway bar
-COBB Rear sway bar
-Kartboy Endlinks
-Kartboy Short shifter with bushings

So, for some stupid reason(money) I decided to trade my STi in for something less expensive. I traded it in for this s2k for about a week, luckily I worked at the dealer so I traded back and got my STi back...in stock form FTL! hahaha!

Then I added a Perrin GT30R .63a/r and was tuned again by Chris while he was at XXTuning.

a couple pics with a friend...Can you guess who got my Black BBS's?

I found my Carbon Fiber that I sold before I traded the car...and I was so excited! :D

Then came:

I have done a few changes to my 30R set up including a Perrin FMIC, Custom CAI, and a new tune from EFI with Open Source. I switched the Prodrive BCS for a TurboSmart MBC simply because it was the only way to get the car the way it is. I will be going back to the prodrive once Chris and I have some time and I upgrade to Meth Injection.

Stock block
Stock Clutch
22K miles and going on this set up.

Then I sold my Perrin v1 GT30R kit to Gling and after trying to go with a stock turbo again, I picked up a Perrin v2 GT30R kit. I'm nuts I know!
