I think it looks cool.

Damn dude, wish I could buy this for a winter bomber. Trade you a 97 Grand Am GT! LMAO, Just kidding. This is way cooler than that.

So freakin awsome.

The badge isn't. a lot of your car isn't stock. Its been upgraded & modified by so many people, hard to tell what is stock unless you know a lot about the 2.5RS.

Just went to the car wash last night before a family re-union. Im already dirty again, but at least the cat footprints are gone!

I actually would like to do an upgrade to the STI/2011+ WRX HID system but I think its a little to pricey. My understanding is that they are wired a little differently (for the DRL thing) and they also have a motorized headlight leveling system with a roller switch installed next to the one for...

Vertigo, you should go take some engine pics. I know the compressor is gone, im pretty sure the lines were removed and the reciever canister is gone. I don't even think the radiator like part (Condensor) is still in there. The only remaining part I believe would be the Evaporator in the dash and...

As I recall, the problem with the 2008 & 2009 at least was that the HIDs would flicker, whether they be installed as Low Beams, High Beams or Fogs. It was related to some kind of off voltage draw on the DRL reducing voltage to dim the Highbeams but it would also cause any HID ballast to...

Seems to me that would cause loss of gas mileage and premature E-brake shoe wear. It might not be fully engaged and not causing much friction, but it is still more friction than if you were not engaging it at all. The shoes would probably eventually wear out even if you never used them just...

I think you need everything. The entire AC system is gone. If I were you I would not worry about it. If you fix it, it will just brake down and need replacing in a few years or less anyway. Plus you gain a few extra horsepower by not having it. You would need the compressor, all the lines, the...

So ray, does this at least mean that you now have poly steering bushings and a WRX steering rack? If so, once you get the new strut bearings in I would be interested to know if it made a big difference.

Damn that's a sexy Bugeye!

The DRL for our car is under the front bumper on the passenger side. It is a relay box or some sort of thing. Its the only black rectangular box under there with wires coming out of it. Its about 1 1/2" in size and the wires are coming out of just one side, maybe be slightly different on your...

Thanks Matt, will do as soon as I get home unless Vertigo sees this and tries it himself. It ran really nice, but for some reason it struggles to get past 80mph and Im pretty sure it should do better than that. Then again its tires are oversized so maybe that is part of the problem and it is...

Wow, for 700? And everything works? What about the AC does that work? Nice find man!

Ok, hows about an update! I was working on the dash lights in my old Grand Am and I needed to go to town for some bulbs. I decided to take my brother's car. I got his permision and popped open the hood on his car and methodically disconnected the wire harness connectors from every sensor, blew...

Hmm. If it was the O2 sensor though it would throw an O2 CEL or a Catalytic Converter efficiency CEL wouldn't it? Im kinda wondering if this thing actually has a bulb in the Check Engine Light location. Sorry about posting a near duplicate thread to Vertigo's guys. I forgot to tell him I was...

Woops, yeah, didn't say anything to him about starting a thread since I did it late Friday and spent all day saturday cleaning and getting stuff done. Sorry guys.

Ok guys, looking for some hints as to where to start on a problem my brothers 2000 2.5RS is having. First let me tell you where we stand with it. We bought this from someone here on the forums in a bit of a beat up condition to fix it up. My brother ("Vertigo101" on here) has had all the safety...

It is factory original if that's what you were getting at vertigo. But the factory OEM here in the US were the 2.5RS like what you have. In Japan they sold the same car with a Turbo and called it the WRX and the WRX-STI. The parts that were sold as stock in Japan on the WRXs there are called JDM...
