[Ichigo]

[f1vlad]

I agree with your opinion :) I have same setup:

http://f1vlad.com/wrxtear/foto/12--2006/01.jpg

[2mprzya]

i need to swap mine for 04/05 tails.

[ValuePack]

Damn, the old tails on CGM looks sweet!

[unsakred]

very nice!!!

[Murphy2012]

Ya, I need to get those as well. I dont think bugeyes fit on mine, but there is a girl at my work that wants to trade...anyone know?

[ValuePack]

Bugeye tails should bolt on your '06 fine, but you'll have a gap in the bumper cover where your circular brakelight was. And as such, '06 tails on a bugeye would mean hacking the rear bumper cover or switching to the newer style cover.

[mdungelman]

A couple new pics due to the sweet weather. Scoobaru and I cleaned 'em up and installed his new/old tails. I thought the angle between the cars looked cool so I took a few of that. The *** just looks better. We all know what they look like from the front. Cheers!

[scoobaru]

damn, that red wrx is so classy lookn. lol~snappy~
nice pics mike

[somethingpink03]

Looks good guys! I kinda want 04-05 tails but its hard to find them for my wagon :(

[2mprzya]

murphy, if you want to trade for bugeye lights, let me know! like stated before, you will have a slight hole where the brake light is.

and somethingpink, check out the classifieds on nasioc, under partouts. while i've been searching for 04/05 tails, i've come a few for wagons. not a lot get posted, but when they do, they stay up for awhile.

[mdungelman]

Check ebay for tails! They do show up. Thats how I got my first set and was able to trade for Josh's.

[mdungelman]

Teh New(used) Axleback

[Murphy2012]

It sounds pretty good too! (for an NA)~bounce~

[Bu11dogg2]

NIce!

[mdungelman]

Up to date pics. Back on summer wheels until it snows again. All cleaned up, washed, waxed, and polished.

[Robk0000]

Im not going early on the wheels this year, last year i put my wheels on when the grass was starting to pop and then it snowed 6".


Putting snows on in the snow SUCKS, not happening again.

[Kevin]

I put my re070s to early last year sucked big

car looks great though.

how you like the shiftknob I have a white one from lathe works and really don't care for it. It seems to light.

[starhm]

car looks nice!! good job.

[banned4life]

i am hoping there is no more snow after april 1

Luckily I have a garage just in case I need to take a half hour and do the switch-back all of the sudden. I like the shift knob a lot. I had the Subaru Momo sphere knob previously but the leather was torn and peeling so this was the final decision. One thing I really like is that its slightly smaller than the momo. Not too small though. Fits right in the palm of my hand. I think the weight works pretty well for me. Have you done shifter bushings, both front and rear? Shifting is pretty "snappy" for me with this setup plus the kartboy ss. No compaints here.

Lets hope there isn't much more snow to come. I guess we're in for an inch or so going into wednesday. I may be going back to snows for a few days. Oh well...

Yea seriously, look what you did! Changing wheels early is nothing but bad luck. Thanks to you, my new setup will have to sit even longer!:lol:

[mdungelman]

Whats your new setup Tim?

[SilverSubie2.5]

17x7.5 +48 Bronze Rota Torque's. Pics to come early next week hopefully.:)

[slvrbugeye]

Car looks great Mike! Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see it with the coilovers on.

[mdungelman]

Yeah man, hopefully sometime soon. We have to get together sometime soon.

[mdungelman]

Updated pics in Post #1.

[scans007]

Sweet man.....can i have your rims :D

[mdungelman]

If we have the same bolt patter I'd gladly trade for your BBS's.:)

[Murphy2012]

You dont.....but that would be nice....

[scans007]

Yeah nope....FXT's have 5x100

I'm just on the hunt for a set of wider summers. Try'n to figure if I want Gold, color match with the ride with a gunmetal, or even stick with silver.....So whenever I see rims I like, I always post...helps me keep mental notes :D

[jonny-rockets]

wait the 06/07 wrx doesn't have 5x100 as the bolt pattern?

:confused:

[Murphy2012]

No, it does, I thought for sure the FXT was 5x114.3.....mostly cause of the wheels they put on em. Hmmm....learn something new everyday! Thanks scans!

[scans007]

That we do, I can't keep track of all the bolt patterns out there on all the diff models.....:D

Per your response I thought for sure you were say'n his were 5x114.3, hence my response.... LOL

Glad it's all ironed out :D

PS - the other thing that sucks about the 08+ FXT's are that they all have TPMS, so when I swap tires and rims, I gotta pull them and and swap them over or dash light........GROSS.

[Murphy2012]

Here are some shots I took today of Mikes car.

Comments?

[trunkmonkeymaniac]

The last shot in B+W makes it look like one of those adds where a little girl would walk out of the house holding a teddy bear by the arm and her dress is all dirty and it says. Only you can make a diffrence, help stop the abuse. :D

But nice shots for sure!

[mdungelman]

Wrong thread Tom. This ones mine! j/k...well not really. You should start your own and keep updates on it.

Murph, nice job on the pics man! :thumbsup:

[Murphy2012]

I like the B+W Photo. It lines up perfectly with my house. Dig that shot a lot. If anyone wants to see the real color shot let me know, It was in a bright spot so it doesnt look that good.

[2mprzya]

murph, you should come out with me, and jack (grassy) and take some pics sometime.

like the pictures, just not feeling the background.

[Murphy2012]

Ya it was in my yard. It wass ****ty out and Mike and I wanted to take some quick before we ate, we had the munchies yo!

[unsakred]

haha, nice shots though :)

[2mprzya]

def good shot, and i was just giving you a hard time! although i still think you should come over here sometime soon to take some pics.

[jonny-rockets]

[Robk0000]

[Murphy2012]

[Nate8409]

Can't not love you car MIke

[Nate8409]

WRX header. Hmmm sounds bad ass. Although I did love the sound before too.

[SteelWRX]

Dungelman, your car sounds amazing! :devil:

[mdungelman]

I finally got to hear what it sounded like when my girl drove up and down the road. She growls...its nice!:D

[ValuePack]

Can't remember the last time I heard a 2.5i that actually sounded like a Subaru. Sexy.:)

[Murphy2012]

Some shots in the same spot of dungelmans car.

He got a little more blue sky than me.

[SilverSubie2.5]

The quality of those pictures is amazing. Looks like you are getting pretty good with that camera there Terry! We'll have to arrange a shoot for the spring.:devil:

[FREAK]

looking good bro!

[Robk0000]

getting better everytime you play around with photoshop, i think you may have sharpened the trees a little too much, besides that. Looks really good.

[mdungelman]

Finally mounted RE070's on Slipstreams today! A couple photos:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y183/mdungelman/DSC02888.jpg

[Robk0000]

those look pretty sweet. Your car looks like its sitting higher now?

[mdungelman]

Well here's a pic on the Superleggeras. I think its because you see more tire with the Rotas.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y183/mdungelman/DSC02844.jpg

[Robk0000]

yeah, thats defiantely the reason.

[mdungelman]

Its nice riding on the RE070's now. Makes me realize how soft the General's are. They're good for daily driving though.

[mdungelman]

Some new pic for you crackah's. Thanks to J&M Vinyl for the rear window addition! And yes, I know if I took the tripod out things would have come out better.

Just a few shots of the freshly painted winter wheels. Thanks to FREAK for the wheels a while back. Granted, they look a little different now. Wrapped with Dunlop Wintersport M3's.

[mdungelman]

Gracias!

[mdungelman]

Hey guess what? I'm just bumping my old ass thread.

[Bu11dogg2]

chicken butt

[Bu11dogg2]

any new mods?

[Seraphinwolf]

Wow that thing's gotta have a huge turbo, right?!!!!
:rofl:

[mdungelman]

any new mods?

I've got the stock STI transverse links, but haven't installed them as of yet.

[mdungelman]

Wow that thing's gotta have a huge turbo, right?!!!!
:rofl:

You didn't notice the FMIC?

[DHGurs]

At least it sounds like it's turbo. Actually no, it sounds better than most turbo Subarus. :lol:

[mdungelman]

Sounds good, handles just as well, but just not as fast. Turns > Straightaways....just an opinion of a n/a owner.

[Seraphinwolf]

BUMP!!!! Shouldn't this get moved to Journals yet?!

[98Wagoon]

why bother? knock it off.
