Come on guys my car is 100% OEM BONE STOCK, and I have a 'build' thread. (Because it's not my first rodeo and I know what it a PITA it is to catch up when you finally decide your car is worth sharing). Trust me, after awhile you'll be checking back to see all the crap you did because you can't even remember 70% of the things you replaced. Especially if you're like me and ANYTHING that breaks get replaced with something better/faster/higher tech.

Yeah but why not? Probably because it seems like a lot of work... because you should have started it a long time ago. It will only get worse too. Some guys even use it like a journal to keep track of routine MX, I like that idea too. This time I'm going to post even if I do an oil change or rotate the tires with a date and mileage. :yup:

Personally I dont like seeing build threads where people are like:

"look at my car I have stickers and LED licence plate bulbs, and a shift knob, and footwell lights, and a ebay lip #BuiltNotBought #FollowMeOnInstagram"

Well yeah but everyone has to start somewhere. If you buy a car that's already modded for you that's almost as bad. And I personally do it more for myself than anyone else. Sure, I welcome the commentary, especially the compliments, but the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism too. Mostly though I do it as a way to keep track of all the random things I do. Because you may need to know later. My WRX had a two inch lift using Outback Sport springs, Forester top hats, AEM adjustable struts, Adjustable arms, cobb endlinks.. and then I swapped the entire driveline to an 04 JDM STi driveline which involoved other changes to the rear diff amongst other things OUTSIDE of just the driveline stuff itself even though it was everything from the motor all the way to the Brembo brakes like the aftermarket DCCD controler. Not too mention all the little shit like bushings, I mean even my headlights were AMG55 retrofits. Plus the 'normal' performance mods everyone does like intake and exhaust EBCS, intercooler, wheels, tires.. My car had parts from not only aftermarket but 3 different Subaru models, 3 different trim levels of the Impreza anyway, plus Mercedes, Mitsubisi, Nissan... I'm probably forgetting some. I also did lots of interior/comfort stuff too like STi limited seats, tints, aftermarket stereo, gauges, yada yada... And my car was "lightly" modded compared to many of the people on the forum IMHO. So yeah I highly recommend documenting all the things! Plus when you go to explain something to someone else to help them or ask for help on some weird problem you made for yourself it helps you keep track of part #s and mount points and different steps you took. I love messing around on OT too but once in awhile taking care of a little business is OK too you know... (not saying you don't I have barely ventured this forum yet but making a point). I imagine I'll be much slower with this car to mod it out since it's brand new right now, but I'm sure the itch will come fast and furious.

"Hey can I check out your interior?"
"Yeah, what do you think?"
"I hate it. I just wanted to see myself."

You make a valid point. everyone does have to start somewhere. And to be totally honest I rather not remember how much money I have dumped into my car
