    Kyle's 2005 OBP WRX STi - new wheels pg 2

    I bought my 2005 WRX STi on March 7th, 2011 after searching for one for months. I picked it up in Roanoke, VA and drove it home the same day. It had 62,000 miles on it (62,500 after getting it home) and it's extremely clean/well taken care of. It's never been in an accident, and I have detailed service records on it. I could tell the previous owner took good care of it (he had all 3 sets of keys and the owner's manual, something that some people can't keep track of haha) and was very knowledgeable about the car.

    It runs great, drive great, and I absolutely love it. I could not be happier with my decision to purchase a STi.

    Exterior:
    Freshly detailed Obsidian Black Pearl paint
    30% tint
    Headlights "cleared" and trim painted OBP to match the body color
    Front and rear LED light conversion (license plate, indicators, stoplights, and parking lights) with relay to prevent hyperflash
    V-limited polyurethane replica lip

    Alacantra shifter and e-brake boots
    LED map and dome lights
    Dash trim wrapped in 3M black carbon fiber 1080 material

    Kicker KS400 rear door speakers


    Wheels/tires:
    Stock forged 17x8 BBS wheels with 225/45/17 Blizzak LM-60s for the Winter
    Enkei GTC01 17x8 wheels with 225/45/17's Yokohama S-Drives for the Summer

    Braking:
    DBA 4000 slotted rotors front and rear
    Goodridge stainless steel brake lines

    Invidia Bellmouth downpipe

    Killer B oil pickup tube
    TiC Super Shifter Set:
    -TiC STI shift linkage bushings
    -Kartboy Front+Rear Shifter Stay Bushing

    Nice STi man. Looks really clean.

    It's funny you recently bought the car from VA. I just bought my 06 STi in April from Richmond, VA. Drove it home the same day

    Quick question though, what's the odd latex looking hose in the trunk seen in the last pic?
    Intercooler water spray

    Yeah, the reservoir is on the passenger side in the trunk, but the hose runs down the driver side. Not sure why to be honest.
