    You guys are both crazy. I'll usually have a mug or two of regular plain-jane black coffee in the morning and I'll occasionally finish about 1/2 mug in the afternoon if I'm really dragging.

    You are all crazy, I pretty much go without any caffeine every day. Only times I tend to get caffeine are for long drives 3+ hours

    This shop is very strict, so unless your 4Runner is legit passable, you're out of luck, unfortunately

    I think the Kanc will be awesome in that car!

    I did it right.... Shit just wore out...

    Software Engineers/Developers turn caffeine into code. So I usually have my coffee in the morning, an iced coffee at 10, an iced tea for lunch, and a red bull at 2pm. And I'll still be tired enough to nap when I get home.

    It's a ton of fun in the GF's Mustang, as long as you keep it in the boost (which isn't hard, honestly)

    That used to be me. Then I started working 11 hour days in an office with no windows...

    Edit- On the weekend or when I'm on vacation I frequently won't have any coffee. Maybe a cup in the morning at most, just out of habit. But when I can actually see natural daylight I don't usually need the pick-me-up. :notsure:

    Yeah same here. Even when I work from home I generally won't drink any coffee.

    What are the WRX's up to for HP/Torque ratings now, anyway? It's been so long since I've seriously considered one I don't know what they're at now.

    2.0 WRX: 268HP/258TQ.

    2.5 STI: 305HP/290TQ.

    I'm going for the STI because I would much rather have the EJ257 over the FA20 motor. The powerband on the 2.0 is boring... Definitely doesn't feel like 268HP. Plus the turbo is low-mounted, and the direct injection is loud as hell. The tried and true EJ platform gives the rumble, has much more potential, and has a much better turbo from the gate.

    Not to mention the STI has a controllable center differential, as well as some other goodies. Plus it has a big wang :cool:

    With a wing that size, usually they're making up for having a small wang, lol.

    I'm actually surprised that the WRX doesn't make more power than that, honestly. The GF's Mustang is a 2.4 and it makes 320/310 from the factory; I'd have expected the STI to be boosted up to 350 by now

    Been the same since 04. Throw a built closed deck block in it, and you're in for a good time!
