Well, I just recently picked up this 08 STI from Planet Subaru out here in MA. Ive only got 2 pictures so far, but I had fun documenting my Si, and Im still friendly with many people over here, so I figured I would do the same with this one.
As the majority of you probably know, I previously owned a Silver 2008 Civic Si (I have a thing for silver cars) which was fairly heavily modified. YOu can find the build thread for that by Clicking here
The Si saw a TON of time at the drag strip but only made it into the high 13s (because of the driver.... not the car :rantsmiley
. It also saw 1 auto-x event, which I plan on doing plenty of in the STI.
Some unfortunately things happened with my Si which made it hard to enjoy and at this time in my life, having a sporty coupe just is all that practical... so I felt it necessary to part out and get myself a 4dr car with AWD because its 'more grown-up' and 'responsible' (thats the story I told the wifey, at least) :giggles:
Im still working on the blueprint for this build, but I will be sure to update this thread as needed.
Anyways... heres my car:
