Wave at me
EDIT: See post number 8 for updated mod list!
if you see me driving around Carson City or Reno sometime! I'm hard to miss; my plates give me away: NOTURBO. JC pointed me here from the rs25.com forums. I'm fairly new to the scene - just got my '05 RS back in June. I'm gonna keep this post short and sweet, since I have a long day of work ahead of me. I'll have a few pix up tomorrow afternoon (or if you're really impatient, try this link  ), along with some more info.With that, I'm off to bed to dream of N/A builds.

Mmm, I forgot to add that. Fixed. I really do want tint. That black interior gets damn hot.

That's cool - I like the clean grill look. Really makes me wish we weren't required to display the front plate.

Jeremiah,
hey dude, nice to meet you last night. Good luck with the moding process. It's a fun hobby. take care. I thought I noticed that your windows WERE tinted last night. Or was it just because it was late/dark.?

They've just got the basic UV protective deal - just a slight stock tint. It's enough to keep my arms from burning while I drive, but not enough to keep the heat out.
Thanks for letting me get a listen at your exhaust - now I have a basis for comparison and a pretty good idea of what I'm looking for. Last night was cool, everyone seems to be "good people." I'm looking forward to the next!

Bling!
Blue "I" badge and an STi titanium "piston" shift knob. Why the only shift knob I like has to cost me $115, I'll never understand.  Also, updated my detail post up above with current mods and actual manufacturer choices for the rest of my parts. Bling is done, now on to the performance! All I need is money. . .

Considering the RS comes stock like this, the covers are a necessary improvement. Note the inclusion of foglight inserts but total lack of actual foglights
 I dig the covers

The Injen is interchangeable, and since I'll be putting it on in the winter, I figure I'll at least start with the short-ram configuration. I'll update the post to match.

Why waste power with it in a short ram config?

I'm gonna try it out both ways and see what happens. I've talked to people that say there's not much difference between the two, and then I've talked to people that say the difference is big enough to warrant the extra install work. So we'll see.

In case no one told ya yet, in the last voting in Nevada they repealed the manditory front license plate law. I am sure some occifers will still pull ya over because they can, but its only cause they want to see your car up close, instead of just the tailights.
