Eh. I enjoy N/A, but I miss that mid-range punch of my WRX...right where this engine falls flat on its face.

I miss my short stroke twin-turbo inline 6.

On that note, I'm trying to decide when to insure the current long stroke single turbo inline 6.

Understandable. I hate how the car doesn't "sound" fast stock...I want to hear more of the exhaust! It seems like a couple of the tuners have done good jobs filling in that dip.

On another note, I really want to see your car. Do you have a build thread?

Eh, only German cars sound fast stock; well that and exotics.

No build really. I just post pics every now and then. They're all crappy phone pics anyway.

It seems like you've done quite a bit! I always wonder how many lurkers here actually have really nice built cars and just keep to themselves.

Exhaust, TRD spoiler, Michelin PSS, custom powder-coated Weds, some interior bits. That's all. AP Racing brakes on the way and an authentic V-Limited STI lip in my basement that I've been super lazy about installing. Misc. STI interior bits because I like STI rice.

I hardly qualify as a lurker. I just don't like to broadcast all my modifications for paranoia reasons.

That's an awesome list. Those AP brakes are going to be mean compared to the stock setup. I meant the constant like 600 randoms browsing the forums dude, you're active

So today started out alright, but I've spent the last hour being depressed as hell.

Ashe and I are officially no more. We were taking a break earlier, which I knew ment we could have gotten back together, but I didn't want to think about what was more likely to happen. which did.

Hopefully driving the car will make me happy again. well, happier
