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








new pics

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

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

Congrats on the new whip! The wheels need to be upgraded. With the upgraded tranny be sure to get the Cobb AP and get a tune!

You have good tuners out there? Surgeline Tuning is a few miles from my house and they are big into the Cobb AP. Click on the Dyno Database link to see some of their customers dynos.
