I would be fine with mid-high 12s. 3500 and change isnt that heavy. Its still lighter than camaros/most mustangs/etc.

I actually thought about going to tx2k. I'd have to stay at my dads and I don't think I can tolerate him for 2 days though

Black and yellow, or white and purple?

It's White and Gold!

After a wash, I'm hoping I can wet sand it and maybe it will look this shiny all the time. I do want to paint it eventually, but first I will be replacing the gaskets and bushings to kinda bring it up to snuff.

Then probably building some coilovers with bilstein struts and eBay sleeves. Not sure on spring rates yet, but I want nb top hats with fcm or similar bump stops.

Once that is all sorted out, I'll probably be putting together a budget turbo setup, shooting for 200-250whp. All this is assuming I keep the car lol. I always change my mind.

If you have an air compressor and a DA, you can get sandpaper for it to wet sand the car pretty quickly. We go 1000, 1500, to 3000 grit. Then buff it out with 1 compound and 1 polishing compound. If the paint is really garbage, you can even start with 600 grit.

i was going to do it by hand one panel at a time. Think its worth it to go higher than 1000? paint is a good color, just wasnt applied very well and wasnt finished at all really. It looks almost dull grey in normal light, but shine a light on it or get it wet and it looks pretty decent. Its all just temporary anyway really.

You can tell they did nothing to the bumpers, the paint just flakes off and you can see the stock paint smooth as can be underneath.

Another one lol...






Needs a wash, and the headlights sanded. Tackling valve stems Monday.

Hit the headlights with a 3m kit. Was going to do valve stems today but opted to wait till tomorrow due to needing to drain coolant and stuff, not set up for that here and had to go buy some stuff since my drain pans and containers are with the forester at my moms place.

If I could fit in one I would probably eventually buy one of these for the wife. She loves them.

Looks like it has factory Bilsteins, and 99% sure it has a torsen according to Chris. Pretty damn sweet.
