My car on its project. WWP

I figured id start a thread about the car, it will be going through some changes this fall and winter. So it will be cool to see what people think of it on its way to the finish line. My plan is to have a GT like car that is confortable on the road and is a monster on the track/or Auto cross events.

So far for MODs;
K&N intake
MazdaSpeed Bumper
Tanabe Sustec Pro Five
...
...


More to come.

Picture time









Pictures are crappy but will have more this Saturday at our First meet.

All comments are welcome but keep the hate down please.

I LOVE your car! I like stupid low, and I like the wheels. I dropped my wrx lower than most suby owners cared for, and painted the stockers candy red. Anyway, I LOVE your car. I really wanna paint my wheels some off the wall color, but its hard to find anything that looks good with VR. Only thing maybe is yellow...?

Hey man could you remove the pics of the subie? They suck!!! lol jk, but really i dont want it to start off topic. Id thank you if you do.

Also yeah its kind of low, thinking of lowering the fron .5 inch and raising rear 1 inch. Then it will be better i think. Also it rides really nice!! gonna be getting the TEAS and some sway bars in the near future.

I must say, with the car lowered, the Blue rims dont look half bad.

Atleast he didnt paint his rims 4 different colors like one of the other WWP owners a few years back.

And guys you really have to see the rims for yourself to get the feel of them. In the pictures they almost look purple.
