not a Z but a Wrx
Well after much debate, I have decided to keep my Z and just get a second car. This is what I found for a baby-mobile. Needed the space for my daughter.

thanks a lot for the compliments guys, as for some answers: the exhaust is an HKS cat back (has up/down pipe, not sure which), it feels pretty good actually, i came from a turbo rsx type s before my Z and missed the boost so I have best of both now, and bugeye was not my first choice on the Suby, just what I can currently afford...i actually like the 04-05 model the most but I can do a conversion later on, for now I am working like crazy to pay for em both.

Bugeye's are money if you mod them right. Here is my old one before the Z...
Don't bother with the 04 conversion, just get the JDM STi Head Lights pictured above! As for the HKS uppipe/downpipe, if you open your hood and look where your turbo is you will obviously see the downpipe attached to it. If its a black coated downpipe with no cats, then you have the HKS downpipe. Not the best downpipe IMO but if you plan on keeping the stock turbo, its fine. But if hasn't been done already, get the uppipe done. You get full boost about 300-500rpm's faster I believe, I cant remember. Anyways, enjoy the car!

P.S. Actually, the tranny do suck really bad. I never broke mine cause I babied mine but they do really suck LOL.
