Well then you know what you have to do... Italian tuneup every week or so

on my budget........... no f-in way :cry:

ok ok so if you have a turbo fart cans and 93oct is a must... I agree... Its just those silly civic drivers that do that crap to thier cars expecting to gain 20hp... lol it cracks me up.

^ No, no, don't get me wrong - I totally agree with you.

My fart-cans came about because, in a moment of weakness, I relapsed into my old Ricer days. That, and, of course, they truly do provide the necessary volume-control that my wife reqested of me with this car (the canisters that I have are one of the quietest out there for my vehicle...while they retain the "muscle-car thump" that's normally associated with flat-four Subarus on the low-end of the rev-band, when engine speed is above 3K RPM, they quiet-down to near stock-canister levels, while giving better flow overall than the highly baffled stock canisters).

I've done well, though.....I've kept almost all of the "product stickers" to inside the engine-bay, and only have my local and "national" car-club stickers decorating the lower aero panels just fore of my rear wheelwells.

I'm trying to de-Rice! ops:

I am also a recovering ricer. I just ripped off all those tuner brand emblems I bought on Ebay 6 years ago, HKS, Blitz, Greddy, Apexi, Tein, TRD. Eventhough I only had them under the hood, they are just too ricey for me now. Next is to make all the blue hosing under the hood black.

^ I'm trying hard, but I think I'll always have a fond spot for vinyl.

My last (and I still own this one) DSM, a white 2Ga Talon TSi with a 2Gb Eclipse front bumper-skin transplant (to better "swallow" the FMIC and allow for clearing airflow, without resorting to an aftermarket body-kit) carried only one barely-visible external vinyl. It was a black "DSMtuners" vinyl, on a background of limo-tint corner glass. 8)

I'm trying hard, bro, to keep the Legacy "clean." ops:

I blame it on my 100% Asian blood - either that or the fact that I'm a first-generation transplant.

I know some of you may see this as "sad," but I just see it as funny: for my Legacy, I actually purchased a set of JDM "engine bay covers" (dress-up plastic coverings for the engine bay, which did not make it to the USDM Legacies due to cost-cutting measures on the OEM front) so that I'd have more, er..... real-estate, for my stickers.

I don't mind laughing at myself. ops:

what nationality???

viet or jap would be my guess

[TSi+WRX]

Nope. :P

If you saw me, though, bro, you'd have no trouble knowing right-off. I'm one of those "bigger and fatter" Asians.

Usually, people will say I'm either Chinese or Korean - this is natural, as my ancestry is from northern China, around Beijing, so the "Korean" mistake is somewhat understandable. My last name is Lee, and this, of course, doesn't help people decipher my ethnicity, as that family name is almost split evenly between Chinese and Koreans.

I'm full-blood Chinese by ancestry/heritage, Taiwanese by birth. Red-Blooded American by both choice (Naturalized) and up-bringing.

yeah usually if I see an asian or atleast his/her name, i get it right off, unless theyre cross-bred, like my buddy who'h 1/2 Mexican and 1/2 Jap....... hes got both sides

I guessed Jap or Viet cuz those are the primary guys on the street racin and all that............. like me
