Although the motor/brakes/suspension were all newly rebuilt the car itself had almost 100k miles on it. It was still worth a decent amount and as hard as I was pushing the cars potential it was just a matter of time until I would have to sink more money into it. I owned the car for almost 6 years and mentally was ready to move on to something more grown up. It was an amazing car!

went to the track tonight in the is-f and won 4-5 races. Best run of the night was 12.89@110.4. Not too shabby for bone stock. Last run of the night was against a bmw 135i that was tuned. The owner said he was making 400whp and a little more wtq. It must have been on a high reading dynojet or something, anyways, I ended up beating him by 2 hundredths of a second! He tried to act all cool about it after but I could tell he was a little pissed about loosing, hehe.

Just got some goodies including the hps silicon inlet tube from Figs and some Ran Up RSR. Have never used the RSR but it looks pretty good according to all the online info/graphs/forum reports

I have never used it. I was going to order it for my sti years ago but I never did. I just added the stuff last night and I am going to go out soon and see if their is any reduction in engine noise
