I was referred over here by a member of [BuffaloScooby.com](http://BuffaloScooby.com). I dont post much there, but I am a very active member on [IWSTI.com](http://IWSTI.com).

2006 Silver Wingless STI in Rochester if anyone sees me around. I know a few of you from [BS.com](http://BS.com), but interested in meeting some more car nuts! This is my first performance car and picked it up in Feb 2006. A few thousand dollars later and I am getting towards my goals. Of course it is a never ending journey with the mods though…

Id post pics, but I just moved and I am working off of my work internet service right now and dont have access to my photobucket account until the 11th when my Road Runner is hooked back up. Best I can do is the pic in my sig for now. Car looks the same except for the rims that I just swapped out for some Gramlights. Ill update my journal when I get the new pics, but they were just mounted yesterday

Here is the link to my journal on IWSTI

Good to be here!

Going to try this for pics, not sure if it will work as all I can see is red X’s for now. Let me know if the pics work or not and I will update more this weekend when I have access to my photobucket account.

Cool car man, it’s nice to see a clean wingless STI.

Do you race it at all? No, I don’t mean dragging, I mean real racing… with curves and cones ( run-off optional. )

Welcome

Thanks guys!

No racing as of yet. It was a daily driver until I landed a new job about a month ago. I just moved this weekend and I am getting my crap back together. I drive a company car for work (06 Focus 👎) and this is my weekend/personal car.

I would like to get into some more racing etc, but I have to wait until the finances will allow it. I was just informed of the track day in Canada by the guys on [BS.com](http://BS.com) and might check that out somtime. Would also like to get out to the stip sometime to see what the car and myself are capable of. I am a little bit scared as I have never dragged before and dont want to embarass myself. We shall see though

I have Evo Recaros that are going in this weekend and fixing up a few odds and ends. I have a few dings I want to get out and the trunk needs to be repainted!

Thanks guys! I am liking it here already. A different mix than all subarus. I can learn something about other cars.

Some of you Honda guys are rediculous. Del Sols that run 10s… Holy Christ!

My guess is cause his username is **FOUR** seasonsandles. I could be wrong.

Welcome 🙂 Can’t say I’m a fan of the de-wing… kind of makes it look like a pre-pubescent child… I seriously mean absolutely no offense by that. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes! But it looks like you did a clean job, which I can certainly appreciate!

Edit: Definitely make it out to a Dunnville Day, plus an autocross or two.

I’m a huge fan of the no-wing. I run wingless on mine and wouldn’t have it any other way. But :tup: to differing opinions.

You have a lot going for you right off the bat: The car looks outstanding, you have good grammar, and you seem to be a good guy.
