My 2005 Subaru STi

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR ME FOR SHOWOFF OF THE WEEK! IT IS AN ABSOLUTE HONOR TO BE FEATURED. THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING AND I WILL TRY TO RESPOND TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOUR MESSAGES AS SOON AS I CAN!

I have been into the sport-compact scene for about 7 years now. I purchased this car new in April 2005. My goal was to build my dream car - powerful, nimble, yet streetable car that would hopefully grace the pages of some of the more prominent import magazines that have inspired me. So far I haven't had any luck - even as far as a 'readers rides' feature. Hopefully that will change soon.
Everything done to my car has been paid for or done by ME - no sponsorships, shop discounts, freebies, support... nothing. There are a few things that I have planned in the near-future, such as a stronger clutch, larger radiator, and sway bars. I take pride in the fact that I drive it often, take it to the track and drive the heck out of it, yet I have managed to keep it flawless - not a chip, scratch, nick...nothing. Not even any mechanical issues, which is amazing, considering the power output on the stock internals. (thanks to the guys at Genesis Racing Development in Naperville, IL)
I am really enjoying CarDomain right now - checking out the cars that everyone here has worked so hard on and taken so much pride in. One of the coolest things has been interacting and conversing with cool people from all over the world. So far I've exchanged words with people from Kuwait, Australia, Singapore, Italy... it's really quite amazing.

I have recently been getting into automotive photography, so I try to make my pictures as interesting as I can. My favorite is the 'blue wall' picture. That wall really is that color, they were starting to knock the building down so I grabbed the camera for a quick pic. If anyone has a nice photo of their car that they'd like touched up or edited, let me know, I'd be happy to try something out for you.
Feel free to leave comments - I will try to reply to every question or comment received!
