A lot of the exterior parts were replaced for the sleeper look, except the rims. For those that don't know, NJ is notorious for WRX theft. Mine was visited twice by the break-in fairy.

Gimme a break with all that carbon fiber crap.  It's neglibly lighter than the aluminum hood.  Plus those rims are straight out of the 90s...jeez.  Stick with the stock forged BBS...they're lighter AND better looking.<br><br>I respect the mods inside the bay, but the outside mods scream "Look at me!" with very minor performance impact and major negative visual impact.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ZapBranagan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2007 9:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Reader Ride: 2004 Subaru WRX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/15/reader-ride-2004-subaru-wrx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/15/reader-ride-2004-subaru-wrx/</guid><description><![CDATA[Looks like autofile folks are finding trains as the ideal background for their pics.    I noticed this a lot lately in Motor Trend when they test in Pomona, which backs up to the ex-ATSF mainline.    Of course I think it's mostly the graffiti they are ofter, to contrast the shiny new cars.   Anyway, YES, I love trains and cars!    You?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2007 12:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Reader Ride: 2004 Subaru WRX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/15/reader-ride-2004-subaru-wrx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/15/reader-ride-2004-subaru-wrx/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yep, me too.

It's a sleeper more than that thing is.  Mine looks stock - no appearance mods, passes inspection and it's catless.  It's faster than a stock EVO or STI, gets 24mpg on average, and is my normal daily driver.  My other car is a 350Z, which is rarely driven as the WRX outperforms it in every way.<br><br>Modlist:<br><br>Engine Perfomance:<br><br>Ihi vf34 turbo (2002 JDM STi turbo) <br>STi Fuel Injectors<br>Walbro Fuel Pump 255lph<br>2006 STi Intercooler<br>TGV Delete (removed, welded, ported and polished)<br>Perrin Intercooler Hose Kit <br>Perrin Turbo Inlet Hose <br>Perrin Intake Charge Pipe <br>K&N Typhoon Intake <br>Perrin Uppipe<br>GoFastBits Stealth Pulley <br>Bosal Divorced Downpipe<br>gutted 3rd cat <br>Cobb 3" SS Catback<br><br>Brakes/Mounts/Drivetrain:<br>STi Group-N Engine Mount<br>2006 STI 6-speed Transmission w/DCCD (currently open, haven't picked a controller yet)<br>B&M rear shift mount<br>RacingBrake Slotted Rotors<br>SS Brake Lines<br>Ceramic/Metallic pads<br>high temp brake fluid<br><br>Suspension:<br>Tein SuperSport Coilovers<br>Tein EDFC <br>Cusco 3way adjustable rear sway bar<br>Helix Rear Endlinks (sphere/ball mount)<br>Moog Extreme Camber Bolts<br>Falen Ziex512 on stock 16's<br><br>Engine Management & Gauges:<br>Cobb AccessPort (modified vf34 map with StreetTuner Software)<br>Gauge Cluster Dual Pod<br>GReddy Vac/Boost Electronic Gauge<br>GReddy EGT Electronic Gauge<br>GReddy Informeter]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[evilmicah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2007 7:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Reader Ride: 2004 Subaru WRX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/15/reader-ride-2004-subaru-wrx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/15/reader-ride-2004-subaru-wrx/</guid><description><![CDATA[WRX is one of the best bangs for the buck.
