    You made a good choice. A BRZ has crossed my mind if I sell my car.

    That's what I'm afraid of :laugh: I know for sure I'd miss having a fun car. It's a daily battle..

    Wow sorry dudes, TW doesn't like to notify me when people post apparently.

    Here she is now:

    Paint faded to tan on the tire in this pic, but re did them last night so they look much better now: Added approximately 5hp per tire

    I'm amazed at how well these coilovers ride, probably the best riding lowered car I've ever ridden in. Very happy with my choice. Looks great and no more body roll. I think with a new swaybar in the rear it should be pretty killer in the twisties.

    I've been kickin around the idea of going back to a car vs getting a new truck.

    Subbing to this probably isn't going to help that dilemma much lol.

    If you can have both, then do it. There's nothing like having your cake and eating it too :cool:

    Yup, you're not mistaken. They're both good buddies of mine. The first time they were posted for sale it was actually just them being assholes to one another and posting eachothers car for sale :laugh:

    But since then the black STI was sold to another buddy of ours in Casper. Used to have pretty much everything aside from a built motor haha, bigger turbo, fueling system, water-meth kit, ect.. Needless to say he spun a rod bearing in about a week lol. He has a really sweet double cab 2nd gen now though, I'll have some pictures of that this weekend.

    The red one is for sale again, just got a practically brand new long block with 600 miles on it. He had a closed deck block and was pretty much ready to make some big power, but he sold that for whatever reason and swapped in the low mileage long block.

    Aston Martin sold recently as well. I took some photos for him to post on his for sale ad haha.

    You guys are doing it backwards. I just got another set of wheels and snow tires so my WRX can handle the snow all winter long while I keep the miles off my truck.

    Yeah theres a decent sized 3 car shop here

    I considered putting my stock suspension on and getting some snow tires for my stock wheels. It got around just fine on the cheapo nexus tires that were on it to be honest. Some good snow tires would make a world of difference.
