              Yeah, most people that say they are from VA really mean NOVA, which imo is NOT VA.

              Of course when i say VA...i really mean VA.

                I'm sure the description of your M has his attention. Any pics/info from your WRX?

                  you know, i don't have any pics of it, which is weird. I didn't take too many pics of the m3 or evo because they were mostly stock.

                  But, if you've had an e36 m3 before you can imagine what it looks like when i say...

                  2 door 99 TiAg, Contours, Bilstein HD's, Dinan, Supersprint, M50 manifold, UUC SSK and a complete cooling system refresh.

                  The Evo9 was black, stock, and awesome.
                  Nice. Mine was pretty much stock also.

                  Hellrot red, billstein sports,h&r race, zimmerman crossdrilled, 4door tails , contours and 18's. Sport/ luxury model , sunroof/ wing/ intagrated phone / winter package , 5 speed auto w/tiptronic which is the only reason I got rid of it ... And I wish I didn't .

                  My girls is

Beyern Mesh's . 4door tails and same Factory options as mine .

                  I do have pictures but I don't want to thread jack.
                  You ain't got no chance to beat it..like a man with no hands and a one inccchhhh .

                    this isn't a good pic of it. I sold the wrx...around 2006, and i think i've been through like 3 computers since then..so a lot of the pics just got erased. man i loved this car...just looking at it makes me regret selling it.

                    Right before i sold it, performance wise...it was stage 4 (all turboxs stuff, with a vf34). It had a few cosmetic stuff done to it as well, as you can see, the JDM projectors w/hid's, Tanabe Sustec Pro coilovers, and Falken Azenis Tires.

                    posting up pics of a e36 m3 is NEVER thread jacking. Never.

                      I had a vf34 on my Forester until it eat a bolt , really nice turbo . Only thing bad was that it ran out of breath up top on the 2.5. Currently running a 20g which holds 20+ lbs to redline but I have spun 2 rod bearings since installing it.

                      Her M is in the Car of the month (COTM)thread for this month .

                      I had just put those e46 style kidney grills in that morning of the cruise , didn't have a chance to decide of I liked them or not. Literally was snapping them in as everyone was leaving..lol. I think stock looked better.

                        e36 m3's are amazing cars. second to my evo, it was one of the best handling car's ive ever driven. However, it was by far the most refined. I've driven an e46 m3 and i felt it lost some of its rawness when it went to the different chassis, although it was more powerful. To me, the e36 is the best of both worlds.

                        those pics make's me regret selling my m3. LOL.

                        Hellrot and Daytona are amazing colors. I like the fact that you got the sport trim Estoril is probably my favorite color in the m3 though.

                        My wrx was WRB and that's always a good color. But what made me sell it was the tranny. Although I was still on the stock clutch, and it was holding on (just barely)...i knew that it couldn't handle the kind of power that i was pushing through it. When you reach the limits of the drivetrain, you know its time to move on.

                        How are forester trannys? i've lost touch with the suby game, so i'm clueless as to how foresters can take to mods.

                            But his isn't modded.. lol

                            Supposedly the Forester trany is just a little stronger do to a better ratio. They say 350-400wtq depending on how you drive . I haven't had a chance to test it much as I just keep spinning rod bearings. Just rebuilt the engine and bearing spun just put of braking in the engine . Somewhere before 2,000 miles. Had it on the dyno for tuning and was only able to make 5 or so runs before hell broke loose.

                            Here is one of the runs, I was looking for 350wheel at 20-22lbs but Alex said he hadn't really got into it yet. Last pull was 275 but I think it was only 18lbs .





                            I haven't touched the car since that day. Really bummed out. J have a build thread in the members build section My 20g XTI.

                                i want to stay calm but that gets me every time lol! why does everybody build the engine first then go banana ape#!#!#!#! when a stock tranny with a baby clutch goes bye bye. would be nice to see someone else do it up proper and do tranny/axles and internals before throwing 200% power at the engine.
