don dater beat the living shit out of that car:Idiots
Hey my civic was in the last F&F :lol
Let me come out and ask this, I’m open for honesty and whatnot, as it is I’ve never drove the car or modified it in any way yet. The way it sits right now, it’s practically a stock 04 wrx with a widebody kit. What exactly is it that everyone has against the car?? Is it mostly because of the fact that it was abused and what seems to be the general consensus distastefully modified?? If so, that’s something I can deal with because it’s getting a new beginning. I’m just trying to feel out what all the crazy hatred is about hahaha.
In my opinion if it’s done right it shouldn’t look ricey or ridiculous. Maybe a little over the top, but I’ve seen MUCHHHH much worse driving around these days. Granted the keyword is “right”.
Dude I have nothing against what you are doing nor do I know anything about how this car was treated.
But first, some facts:
(1) If you didn’t already notice, this site is mostly about bash / hate. If I won the lottery tomorrow and bought an Underground Racing Gallardo and made a pic thread, it would still get bashed by someone saying the rears need a 10 mm spacer. So don’t worry about it too much.
(2) You state outright that your car was in an F&F movie. After you notice that no one likes the tuna here, and that a couple of SR20DEs would fetch a premium before race wars, you’ll find that Shift has the largest collection of F&F quotations, 2nd only to Wikipedia. People are just waiting for the perfect thread to unleash the fury, and if your car was in the movie, well…
Still need a dictionary?
(3) Supposedly the car was beat on in its previous life, according to Shift. Must be true, because everyone here knows your car better than you do.
Case in point: Two weeks ago Gordon Murray posted about his McLaren F1 (that he happened to design single-handedly), only to find out from a forum member that some of the gold in the engine compartment came from one of Singh’s chains, and that the headlights were actually replaced with Gearhead “joints” before it made its way out of the Woking factory.
All of which was true. So, again, remember:
Water’s wet. Women have secrets. And Shifters know your car better than you do. Deal with it.
Lastly, it’s great you are thick skinned enough to deal with all this. Props for that.
Keep bangin’
Archie, you’re a bad bitch
Well said, thanks for the enlightenment hahaha I do totally see where you came from. I knew I shouldn’t have even mentioned the F&F thing… hahaha
AnD yO B!tch is a Naztee B!tch! :rofl
You’re welcome. I think you and the site will get along better now. Haha.
Post of the year. :rofl :rofl :rofl
:rofl welcome aboard
Wait this was in a movie? I thought it was just a funny title :lol
Welcome!
Good luck with your project, and don’t worry about the goon squad, most of them don’t have anything that runs, runs worth a shit, or does not look like absolute dog-shit themselves.
Pics of the original car? I remember seeing this once, then seen it in want ad or something shortly after.
:rofl
my problem with the car is exactly what you think is not the problem :rofl
widebody kits do not belong on anything if it’s not trying to fit the widest possible tires on the chassis.
if you want to run square 18x10s, I’d be cool with it. But you better have Motons/JRZs, and like 600whp to back that shit up.
don’t mind our opinions, like Archie’s fucking awesome post said, this is Shift, you’ll get a lot of them whether you like it or not.
Here are some pics of how it used to be.

Don’t ask me why there are three missile switches in the center console… I don’t have a fucking clue. That hundred shot of NOS is gonna blow the welds on my intake.
:rofl exactly
Do your thing man!!! Nobody likes any of my shit either homie!!!
This is the truest best statement of this entire thread
also
The 3 gauges are tilted the wrong way?
Ahh wasnt sure if this was the same WRX. I remember seeing this thing at the lot for the first time a few years back, and I remember the PO making a big deal about ti being in the F&F and honestly I had to go back a couple times to even spot it at first :lol
Anyways ya, the PO beat the ever living piss out of this thing. I’m all for giving your car a good work out, but litteraly from what I saw a couple times and from what others have said, it seemed like he just beat the ever living piss out of it without a care in the world.
Anyways… It has potential, but with the growing trend of how thigns tend to go around here… Lots of talk and no action, I’ve been guilty of it as well… so the odds are against you that this thing will still be a horrendous POS with the title from the PO haunting you unless you drastically do something.
And steve whats wrong with the tilited gauges? I have mine cranked to the side, so that when their within the operating area that their supposed to be their straight up and down (needle), a bit easier to read IMO.
