Welcome! Your car reminds me a lot of my own. We both are GG, have weds, tinted tails, etc. lol.
I like the CF emblems... where did you get them?

Hey, just an update however most of you will not be moved or even care in any way... I sold it. It was awesome and I have nothing bad to say about the car at all. However I found an 05 (wait for it, don't hurt me) wrx sti with only 3300km and no 'not a typo. In the end the turn around was about even so I'm happy. Anyways have fun with one of the most fun cars ever made everyone!

O.K Let me get this straight. Your first post is less than 6 months ago, introducing your car which has to be at least a 2009 or newer. Now summer isn't even over, but you decide to tell us you sold the car to buy our direct competition but one at least 4 years older. ( Insert WTF? here)
You do know the history of 2005 WRX motors don't you? Most of which end up with a word sounding a lot like "Room" if driven hard.
Enjoy your new older car.

Well sir you are certainly not wrong to question it. I had the lancer for 2 and a half years however you are right in saying I only recently put it on here. I think you might be mistaking the smaller 2l wrx build vs the 2.5l in the sti because after much research and talking it over with various professionals it seems that the 05 sti in particular is one of the most solidly built versions of the car you can buy. Also, the speed bug has set in and due to the fact I cannot afford mods to increase power on the lancer, nor would I want to based on the stock integrity, I decided my best option was a faster car for an even trade with my current car at the time. Thanks for the input!

Did you trade for a stock STI, because a flashed RA should be faster than a stock STI
