I just recently bought this car bone stock. I haven't had it very long so I haven't done a whole lot to it yet. When I bought it it was in desperate need for some love'n. First of all I had to repaint the car 'cause the clear was gone and the red was pink at the time. I personally repainted the car and recleared it. The antenna was broken off at the base so that was quickly replaced with a new one. There was absolutly no radio, speakers or anything of that nature in the car at all. That was fixed the minute I got it home. The hood vents where missing when I got it but those where stripped off another Lude that was wrecked in the rear. The rear winshield leaked and would often flood the trunk when it rained, and anyone will tell you that a wet trunk with a sub and an amp in there is not good. The engine needs to be rebuilt very badly 'cause the valve guides are shot so the valves are extremely loud (rattle). The interior was filthy when I got it. There was a lot more wrong with it but I need to make a list so that way I can put it all on here. It really needed some TLC.
The engine isn't a VTEC , sad for me, but it does happen to be an H23 2.3L DHOC. It's not all that bad, it has a lot of torque. I haven't done much to the engine right now I put a short ram intake on it for now. It is a little dirty in this picture, but it won't be for long
I have however installed a full custom exaust (except the header) and a carbon fiber wrapped muffler. The Pipe is 2 1/4" in full. The outlet is a beautiful 4". It is all mandrel bent from front to back. The factory header defently has to go and real soon too. 
I have 17" Konig Reasons wheels wrapped in a General Exclaim 205/40/17/85 tire. The brakes are factory for now. The calipers are painted to help the car look alittle more clean.
I recently broke the driver's side cv into pieces so I went ahead and replaced both cv's with a set of custom built ones. They have a slightly larger shafts than stock and some heavy universals on each end. These cv's don't twist like the factory ones used to so I get a slight improvement in my acceleration... it's not much but every little thing helps.
I just recently bought this full body kit for my lude (sorry about the res. of this pic I didn't have a digi around so I took it with my cell). I bought it through Extreme Demensions. I wanted a front bumper big enough to conpensate a front mounted intercooler (not a shoebox intercooler either) when I turbo my lude. The F1 fenders and the carbon fiber invader hood are the next things in line if I can't get my hands on a turbo... I will update again then.
Well, I went with a new car just after I "frankinstiened" the head. I put a h23 block with the h22 Vtec head, tranny, and ECU. I sold the car about a month later and bought a new car.
This is my brand new '06 Subaru Impreza WRX. Check it out on my other page.
