Not gonna happen!
So do I, but I didn't like the price tag that came with them.
For the love of god make sure the timing belt has been changed with 151K on it!! They need to be replaced before 120K and those cars are notorious for the belt snapping! When that happens, they drop valves and motor goes bye bye!!
I had mine on STi springs, all you need to change is the top hats and they swap right in. Sti springs can be had for about 50 bucks, and they will drop the car about 1/2" but it handles waaaaay better with them.
Heres a picture of my old car for some inspiration

I was looking for pics of the black housing headlights to see how they'd look. I need new ones or to save these. Yours looked great! Timing belt was done with the clutch at 90k, so I'm good there. I'll probably have it serviced before I head back to school for peace of mind.
Will look into the TurboXS uppipe, that sounds like a good design. And thanks for the advice on springs and co's. I checked spring prices and they are $169, less than I thought. But I want to do it right, so I will hold out for a good setup when I save up for it. I rode in Justin's cruze and it was so smooth.
I will have the maintenance done either by me or a shop depending on when I get time. Definitely before the winter.
:shake: Looking it up now
It is and I don't care :laugh:
The headlights mine had arent the typical "koji" modded bugeye lights. Those were the real deal EDM STi headlight with HIDs. I sold them for 1000 bucks when i sold the car, they are crazy expensive but super cool. Good news now though is you can mod the crappy ebay lights with mini H1 projectors and be just as good.
My car had Full turbo XS on it, up-pipe, catless downpipe, test pipe and axle back. Sounded so awesome.
Wow, those are some expensive lights but they look awesome. I'll probably have EFI Logics over in CT work on the car once the time comes for more exhaust mods. They have a good reputation and a large client base.
What kind of engine management were you running?
Thanks man. I love it so far.
I was running some open source tuning that was done with some of the local guys and a laptop. Was all kinds of fast n furious shit going on!!
Do want, but do not want to know the pricing of it lol. Especially with no US dealers apparently.
Lol nice. Cobb seems to be the most popular way to go, kind of like Blackbear for trucks. I just gotta ask a few local tuners what they use and do some research.

Yeah sounds about right.
:hmm:
Definitely gonna have to look into it somewhat soon. I'll see what I can afford to have done and what tuning is gonna cost me.
I have a Cobb Accessport with my LGT, and it worked pretty well to wake up that car with a stage 1, and I plan on going to stage 2 with a downpipe soon. You may be able to find a used Accesport (like I did) for a pretty good deal. There also has to be a Subaru tuner or 2 in the the Michigan area you can go to.
Im also glad you are planning on replacing the Up Pipe, I decided that its worth the $250 bucks to save the engine from a possible Horrible death. I got a Perrin up pipe mainly because Im from Oregon and Perrin in an Oregon company, and I like to buy local if I can.
next pic after tuning we gona see this shit lol:
beat me to it, i was gonna say it needs nosss
I'm in NY :laugh:
But there are a few good shops locally, one with a ton of excellent reviews and a huge following. I'll have them do all my major work because I don't see a lot of space in there to work on shit haha.
In other news, just ordered a V3 Accessport straight from Cobb. They're running a contest and someone can win all their compatible parts for their car from them, entries are given with the purchase of a V3 through them so figured why not. Probably wont win but was worth a shot.
Oops my Bad, I saw the plates on your truck in your sign and thought they were Michigan for some weird reason.
The Up Pipe is actually pretty easy to do. I just had to soak the bolts in PB Blaster and I was able to get it out no problem. I have been told that there is not much difference between working on my LGT and the WRX, both engine compartments are small as hell.
