    Fresh Uncle Ben's

    I guess I'll first thank ModularMike for introducing me to the site....so uh, Thanks!

    My name is Ron and I have lurked for a while but never really posted. I drive a rice rocket (2005 CGM Subaru STi) with a couple mods. I love the car and I mostly bought it because it makes an amazing DD. Mike already knows this as we were out the night of that terrible snow storm. The snow was so high that my doors carved it out of the way when we opened them...but still my suby went through alright with bald blizzak lm25s. I know my car isn't most people's cup o' tea on here so feel free to poke fun at it, I've heard them all :p.

    At the moment, the car has a stage 2 OTS tune (with launch control and no lift shift) on the Cobb Accessport 2.0, a catless helix downpipe wrapped in copper heat wrap, Blitz Nur Spec R catback, Kartboy short shifter, TiC Super shift kit, K&N drop-in panel filter, and custom headlights (modified stockers that I had to bake in the oven).

    Waiting to go on the car is an IAG up-pipe with a v-band 44mm Tial external wastegate and Grimmspeed 3 port Electronic boost control solenoid. I am waiting for some better injectors before I put this stuff on as my injector duty cycles are already reaching the high 90% range.

    Welcome... If I didn't have my Cobra I'd probably be driving a WRX. Nice looking car!

    Welcome to the Board!

    I remember learning to drive a stick on a 02 WRX. Very impressive and fun car!

    Love your STI man, Keep the wing on it!

    If I didn't buy the 2004 Jeep Wrangler for a DD, It would have been a Rex.

    Thanks for the kind words guys! Mike, I tagged along with the other Mike to your shop one time and your work is absolutely amazing. Not only is the shop clean but you had a very friendly personality which I greatly appreciate.

    We need an SCS meet since the Subaru ones I go to suck.

    Mannn thats awesome I LOVE justys...are there any pics?

    .what kind of fuel mileage do you get on the highway?
    Not 100% sure since I tend to ignore it (I get depressed when I think about it haha). I do know that the mileage is TERRIBLE, but with a good tune I bet it would be much better. Right now the car is pretty much maxed out from the factory on 500cc injectors (roughly 48lb/hr) and I'm lucky if I get 200 miles to the tank (15.9 gal I think). I can't wait to get a wideband and adjust my afrs because I know I'm running way rich under boost.

    pfff.. ricecakes.. Bet you could jet into space with a wing like that!
    Ahhhh...now I feel at home
