gh8st's new whip.. bring on the haters/flamers :)
 
ghost's new hotness =) i got a great deal on this WRX, so I couldn't resist. Full STi drivetrain swap..05 STi Transmission with 6k miles, STi brembos, sways, hubs, rotors, etc etc.. perrin FMIC, recirc bov, intake, lightweigh pulley.. invidia turboback, halmann boost controller, spiider DCCD, Spec C front seats, etc. Just picked her up today =) let the hating begin!

For the record, the "low on funds" thing was just a guise to sell my 8.. sorry for misleading you guys :( and another thing.. the rx8 is a MUCH better looking car than my wrx :)

That's cool dude, how much? YOu gonna black out the headlights and intercooler? and maybe drop that JDM yellow on the fog lights, that shit would look mean. congratsl

gh8st 03-19-2010 10:18 PM

thanks bro :) i'm not gonna say how much... but the deal was too good to pass up.. especially with the amount of work that was put into it, and the mileage. only 11k miles :)

Ever Hernandez 03-19-2010 10:21 PM

Oh alright, my bad, didn't think it was that good.. LOL :icon_tup:

mike[piston eater] 03-19-2010 10:22 PM

no hating lol i like it

2tone 03-19-2010 10:22 PM

that's sweet gh8st!! i'm glad you found something you like. gotta say i doubt it was (or WILL BE) less than your 8!! didn't you leave the 8 for money reasons?! ha ha, you're gonna drop money into this thing too! I expected your next car to be a honda fit or something :rofl:

mike[piston eater] 03-19-2010 10:24 PM

the real reason why we all will leave the 8 one day lol for the same reason we get bored of a girl and move onto the next one a man needs change in his life lol

gh8st 03-19-2010 10:26 PM

what mike said.... the money thing was just a guise to sell my car :) sorry 2tone.. haha

2tone 03-19-2010 10:27 PM

ha ha i kinda figured that!! you coulda been honest from the get-go!! looks good though man, love the black and red. interior pics??

mike[piston eater] 03-19-2010 10:27 PM

gh8st 03-19-2010 10:28 PM

yeah i really should've been.. hahahaha that's why i was hesitant about putting it up, but it's all good, cuz i'm happy =)

2tone 03-19-2010 10:28 PM

this might be a newbie subie (ha ha) question, but are those mud flaps?? is that a normal mod for it? i mean, it looks cool, just never seen mud flaps like that on a car.

2tone 03-19-2010 10:29 PM

i lost track of your f/s threads, did you sell your car as a whole already? did your hood go w/ the car or part it out? i loved that thing

mike[piston eater] 03-19-2010 10:30 PM

mudflaps are the cool thing with subbies and evos, im looking for oem mudflaps for my fc

gh8st 03-19-2010 10:31 PM

the mudflaps are some jdm thing.. i'll ask the dude tomorrow if i get a chance

yeah the rx8 is being sold as is. it's too sexy to part =)
