Reminds me, while I was there I saw a bugeye sedan with an STi horizontal stabilizer --- made me do a double-take.

Ezdno 2006-03-23 11:57 AM

Wait, I lie, there's someone on this thread with a black'd out FMIC huh? Sly...

M3n2c3 2006-03-28 07:56 PM

Saw Lethalpressure's WRX sitting in his driveway. :D

Leper Dog 2006-03-28 08:48 PM

sp00ln 2006-03-28 09:53 PM

Nope, it was grey. What mods do you have on your STI, stiroid?

sp00ln 2006-03-31 09:13 AM

Looks like a 20g. Im always weary of turbo's with a funky name like that... but, good luck with it.

Now that that question is answered, what's a typhoon??

Typhoon, Superzilla, etc... they're just marketing names.

A1337STI 2006-03-31 09:28 AM

K & N typhoon air intake . its the name for the their short ram air / cold air line of intake IIRC. lol so no one is fessing up to be that WRX driver i saw yesterday? hehe

JonnydaJibba 2006-03-31 09:41 AM

Hey so what's the deal with this New Era stuff? I saw a blue 04/05 STi with blacked out tails and a New Era decal on the side. Now I've seen this before, but what the hell is it? I heard they come meets sometimes toward the end, but never talk. I thought New Era was a hat company, when did they start making car parts? I apologize for my ignorance in advance.

MPREZIV 2006-03-31 10:41 AM

They're a bunch of street racers. I've never seen any of them at any meets, and when I talked to one of them with a REX, he acted like an asshat because I don't have a turbo, and I don't street race...

A 20G has a 44 lb/min compressor. This thing has a 55 lb/min compressor, and a bigger hotside.

Ezdno 2006-04-01 12:26 AM

Those New Era dudes hang out alot in SV, the silver STi, and the Neon are always out here, I think they live on Leon Dr. There are two Silvers, and a Blue STi that I have seen lately.

I think I saw NevadaSTI on Del Monte Blvd right in front of Comp USA this afternoon about 2:30pm, I was trying to keep up with a 3000GT.

Yeah. I saw that SRT come into Lithia's Subie lot, park amidst all the new cars, and then the two people get out and walk around like they owned the place. I could see the "hard" front from yards and yards away.

SpecB#127 2006-04-02 05:29 PM

I saw a whole gorup from the club at the Stead Airport having way too much autocross fun.

If I had brought a coat or sweater I might have hung out long enough to say "what up".

Murphy's Law, when it is sunny at your house in Gardnerville, it will rain at the autocross. :lol:

JonnydaJibba 2006-04-14 10:44 AM

I saw a green older looking L yesterday going west on 80, kinda looked like Tom's but I couldn't a good look. Anybody anybody?

rubberbiscuitt 2006-04-14 05:28 PM

whos the blue sti with "kongsti" plates, and that apperaently works at chromalloy? i should be starting there as a tig welder next week.

cody 2006-04-14 05:32 PM

^^^ Congrats on the new job!

Kevin M 2006-04-14 05:53 PM

Keep forgetting to mention this one... across Double R from our office, somebody at EET has a bluw bugeye WRX, with dark 7 spoke wheels, with the plates "BEAMN1." I thought it was bemani the first couple times I saw it. :lol:

Joeyy 2006-04-14 06:06 PM

Anybody know of a black bugeye wagon in Truckee missing it's rear bumper with Rotas?

nightwalker 2006-04-15 09:17 PM

I see Sti's and WRXs all the time in Truckee, but they don't seem to acknowledge me, though I give a friendly nod. ...is it the Mitsubishi v.s Subaru rivalry that's imbued into you when you purchase either one of these cars... or...

...must be fear :lol:

I have the STI with the Thule box on top. I'll give a waive next time I see you.

nightwalker 2006-04-15 09:45 PM

hahaha, I've seen you going down 89 towards tahoe city many times. I wasn't driving the Evo though, I was doing test drives in customers cars. (I work at Quality Auto) That road is part of our route. I always think to myself how odd the Thule box looks on an Sti (not a bad thing) ...I just associate those boxes with Subby wagons, and it being on an Sti just doesn't really register in my head yet.

I often take my lunch at Alpine during the week for a couple hours.

DOINK is a vagi-nah
 
I saw doink today on the freeway around 5pm. I even got right next to him and started honking! He didn't even look at me! I guess teh rumble of the 4G63 scared him cuz he soon exited. :P

Now that his car is mostly an STI, he has the smug attitude that goes with it :lol:

:lol: I saw your car just as I was getting off the fwy and thought, "oh hey, that was probably Ryan!" (I never hear any honking... my exhaust/suspension is way too loud). I didn't notice you because I was watching the gauges making sure the oil cooler / remote filter / Defi gauges I just finished installed about 3 minutes prior were all working properly... so far no leaks! :)

Is it wrong that my car cruises under light throttle at 1500 deg F egt? :eek:

White ? Yellow ? I've seen a few around town, they are very rare up here considering it has AWD. And yes i feel i shouldn't wave at Evos , i scowl at them. (In jest though, I respect EVOs as much as STIs)
