Today is a great day.

This dip**** that I sold some G35 headlamps to, looks like he is burning me. Said he's paypal me the cash Wednesday, and still no money. Completely ignores my email...

Got my haircut this morning. The woman left a patch of hair. I get a buzzcut. How the hell can you f**k that up?

But the best part, is that my wife and I have Valentine's Day off together. This is the first year since we met that we can spend Valentine's Day together.

Re-cut everything? There was nothing left to cut. My hair is like 1/4" long. She left a little patch that was like 3/4"...

Shaved that off and it's all good now.

I'm still stewing about the headlights...

I really love the Subie. It's a hell of a lot faster than the G35. It's also a lot more tunable out of the box. I really wanted an STi, but I'll take the bus before I drive a hatchback. I wasn't expecting to get a doifferent car, but we went into the Nissan dealership and I ended up driving an '06 that had 490 at the tires. It was insanely fast, but probably wasn't going to last for that long given the extent of mods that had been done, and the fact that it has a piss poor tune.

So we went to Subaru, and I drove the WRX. Immediately I fell in love. It is faster and handles better than my G did, even with all the mods done to the G. Plus I really love having a turbo. Plus the 09 comes with an extra 40 HP over the 08's...

I need to write a review of what I think of the car, now that the newness has worn off.

VF52 is the turbo.

First mod was a better heat shield for the turbo.

Boost gauge will be here on Monday.

If that ****brick pays me for the G35 headlights, then a set of HID's will be going into her.

I will be keeping the warranty for quite a while, so no "good" mods for a few years...

When that day comes though... Turbo inlet pipe, Turbo back exhaust, and a protune, preferrably by Tim Bailey.

If that doesn't net enough HP for me, then I'll add an FP Green Turbo, FMIC, injectors and fuel pump along with a new tune for that setup should have me right about where I want to be.

Hai guys!

So I drove the most boring 2 hour stretch of road on the planet yesterday from Phoenix to Tucson to visit my gf for this weekend. When i arrive, she ha left the door unlocked. What do I find inside? My gf standing in the hallway in nothing but black stilettos and a blue push-up bra.

Awesomeness commenced

Are there any decent people left in the world? I ditch one set of phony friends for good, then I hang out with new people and they end up stealing my wallet. Jesus f**king christ I hate my life.

Yeah, that was close. I thought you were going to see me sneaking out, when you came in.

Jesus Christ.

My goth friends want to take me out to a bondage night thing and I said no. Honestly, what's more pathetic: Not having a date for V-day or roaming a strange club filled with bat fu*kers only to end up drunk and probably with a fat chick at the end of the night?

I hate my life sometimes.

i thought that as long as you use SPT approved parts you could mod subies... theres a lot of guys around here that own them and i talk to them often about the mods. theres nothing extensive that you can do but i'm pretty sure theres a few exhaust type things for sure and possible intake and turbo. maybe lok into it
