Do you guys think it would be too much trouble to ask my husband to turbo the D in the DD Coupey as my Christmas present? :D

i just finished this... i wanted a pixel car that looked just like my car... so i reshaded an impreza base i found from red to silver, added the scoop, threw on stockish wheels, added the muffler & undercarriage details, and slapped the wrx badge on the trunk. i might try to make a pixel version of my real license plate to put on there. the scoop looks a bit too large on the side view though...

Ok, so i went to Performance Auto Werks today (my local after-market store) and they gave me the following budget:
a) Megan Racing header: ~$200
QUICK question about header. Should I take my Cat-conv off? I mean, would it really make a difference? Got to stop global warming, know what I mean?
b) A'pexI W-S-2 exhaust $465
c) NGK 10.2 mm ignition wires with spark plugs ~$120

Then I went to Discount Tire Co. and a set of 16 inch rims with tires is about $900

What do you guys think?
Can I find rims for cheaper? I just want 16 inch 5-spoke black with chrome lip. Brand doesnt matter.

And other quick question, should I take my hub-caps off and just roll on my steelies?
you can find that header for 175.00 shipped here. http://www.hopupracing.com/exhaustheaders8.html

you can find WS2 exhaust here for 400.00 shipped. http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/home.php?cat=710

ah.. i wouldn't bother change your ignition wires. not if its going to cost you 120.00

yes, you can find wheels ALOT cheaper.
do you like Rota gt3s? there 16" i might have a set to sell you.
if you decided to get rid of your hubcaps, ill buy them off you.(if they're 13")

like justin said. go with a high flow car.

when are you planning on doing all this to your car?
one more thing, local shop just order their stuff online and then overcharge customers.

Welp I asked after we voted this morning and went to breakfest. He told me no. :( Then he proceeded to tell me he was gonna go see Mark at One6 today. :shock: Dood's all game for the hatchies getting work done but when it comes to the daily wagon he don't wanna put anything into it. It's because it weighs a ton. :lol: I so knew it! :lol:

I didnt know you called! I know, I'm being bad with my messages, once I get alot on, I dont want to go through them. I'll give you a call tonight.

hey tony! how you been? long time no chat. how's everythin in MN?
Everything is awesome. I got an awesome job, pays me well so I've been able to buy things for my car. I got some injectors, uppipe,STi top mount, and hopefully a new turbo soon, I'm not gonna put any of it on until I can save up for a tune, But with gas being $1.99 for premium, it shouldnt take long. I also have gotten some various stuff like STi seats, new wheels and front and back skid plates. Other than that, doin alot of rally-x and will be doing some snow-x soon as it starts flying. I got to snowboard already this year too, I went saturday AND sunday. Things are perfect at the moment.
