Also not "Ichi", but "ichi". Yes, it's important. Just like STI and not STi (well not STi anymore).

Is it Subaru Technica Development now?

The hall monitor can't be a cool kid. That is just the way it works.
Besides I had to pick somebody as the exception.

Before '06, it was STi.

Heck, even @Tcoat has got coilovers and shit!

Am I the only one who think the stock suspension is fantastic for public roads and plenty good enough for recreational track days?

In fact... I feel a rant coming on...
- In fact, I don't get why anyone buys a ZN6 if they think it needs "upgrades" such as coilovers, turbo, supercharger, headers, footers, toenails, exhaust, coat hangers, body kits, boob jobs, seats, riveted plastic things, welded diffs, furry dashboards, battery straps, painted tail lights and whatever it is these people are doing to the poor innocent cars.
I really don't get it and I am getting a little annoyed.
Am I supposed to feel ashamed because I like my car the way it was designed and because I stopped fixing things that isn't broken about the same time I discovered girls?

- Just to clarify: I have nothing but the utmost respect for guys like Anthony and his project http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42284
He's building a racecar and he's clearly doing superb work.
It's the daily drivers with car loans who should be thinking more about their warranty and their safety on the road I don't get.

Stock suspension is ok, a bit too jarring for my taste. i found with the RCE Yellow springs the ride improved and i got a nice .8 inch drop. Then i got some pretty good coilovers (HKS) and the ride got even better.

and I don't think my car needed upgrades, but i wanted to make it better step by step. I made the car sound better with exhaust mods, i made the car handle better with tires and suspension work. made it look better with wheels to compliment those new tires. got her a header to make her a bit faster and make her sound better. Everything i've done to the car has been to make it even better than what was provided by the factory.

now Anthony's car is different, he's ruined that thing every possible way and while his end goal may be to track it, that car see's more time on the street than it does on a track.

LOVE YOU ANT

"I've always wondered. Do you guys prefer checking your oil dipstick while your engine is cold or warm?"

Are you for real or trollin'? SMH

I prefer to check my dipstick at night because the oil hides during the day.
