Oh ok so it's the setup from other countries that we hadn't been getting on our WRXes, until now at least.

Yeah I think so (different countries).

I thought it was funny that a couple of the articles I'd read about the 06's joked about how they were painted red, when in fact they are actually superior to the previous setups... as well as being painted red with the Subaru on em.

awesome. i dont care what people say about the 06 front ends, i like them, especially in real life, where most people havent given them a second glance. on the other hand, i like the 04-05 fronts much more. most people make judgements from what they see on the net.

i'll take one in steel gray metallic.

Sony Ericsson W600i. I think the broad daylight made the pics good.

I was pissed because the gas station shot I took turned out blurry as fawk and I couldn't tell it from looking at teh little screen. It was my own fault really. It doesn't have a flash obviously and I didn't hold it still enough so the lighting like tripped it out or whatever.

yeah they finally made the 4pots stock instead of the 2pots up front...which is really good news for us older suby generations because it will bring the price of the 4 pots way down because they wont be only MaD Tyte JdM Y0 and you could get them from a much larger production run....


cliffs nots: I am super happy cause now 4 pots will be ALOI cheaper :yay:

very nice car by the way...the new front end is slowly growing on me.

Thanks man that means a lot. She's growing on me pretty fast. My first to second gear shifts are still a little bumpy... and I've stalled it twice already h: but all in all I think it's going to be a great relationship.

I just can't wait to get that center gauge cluster.
