Sorry, no image hosting options on this BBS. I guess I could take a look into programming it myself, but I'm not setup to code on this site right now (my dev server is still not running...).

Is this for a WRX? As far as I know, most the BOVs for the WRX simply bolt right on. Also, I think many BOVs are the same... If you've already got the BOV on had, bring it by the next time we meet, and we can check it out against my intercooler!

Ps: That was when I was concidering on buying an rx7
Thanks again

how heavy? there is always ups if its under a certain weight. If not, any freight company can do it. I shipped jetskiis via truck about a year ago and it was a few hundred dollars.

You can get industrial shrink wrap fairly cheap. Then just wrap them in that. Maybe some styrophome around the edges.

Man, I want an STi so bad, it hurts...

I didn't think it was gonna own me so much! It's basically got everything I want to add to my car, and then some!! It's like all the modding is done and warrentied for me! Argh!

Too bad the STi is gonna take a shit on our WRX resale prices...

Hey what do you think would work better: selling the WRX now, and driving a beater till I can afford the STi (prolly a year), or driving the WRX for a like 2 years, till I can afford the STi? Bascially, will the resale be worse right now, just after the STi release, or worse later after more depreciation?

I think if I could get $18k for my WRX (after reverting it to stock) I'd sell it... but I think that's a little optomistic, considering my mileage.

I'm not getting an STi anytime soon... at least 2 years. Gotta pay off the WRX.

And since I'm keeping the WRX... it needs at least 300hp... so I ordered Vishnu Stage 1!! So hopefully by the end of the month I'll get my exhaust parts, and Feb 7 I'll be in the Bay for ECU mapping / tuning.

All I need now are struts/springs/top mounts, rims and tires (for autocross), STi headlights, side skirts, grill, the rest of my Defi gauges, get some dents removed, and install a passenger side harness, and I'm done! Crap... that's still like $5000 worth of stuff. Ugh... neverending modding... but my WRX will OWN! hehe
