I know that Vancouver PD had an Evo and WRX as patrol cars a few years ago. They were unmarked and ment to catch "Street Racers". I would hate to have and Evo as a patrol car. I'm only 5'8" and 150lbs. Will my gear on I would never be able to fit in the Racaro racing seats.

Sorry for the poor cellphone pics. I've been working long hours lately. 17 hours last night and 12 tonight so I haven't had any time to enjoy the car. I will post better pictures after we have some sunny days.

well I'm never speeding in town again. I heart the WSP the most though those guys have been so nice the last two times I got pulled over. And one was exceptionally good looking.

I'm probably going to get the car chipped, then add a short ram intake and aftermarket exhaust. The stock exhaust sounds good but dosen't roar till you open the throttle up.

Now if i knew my gf was thinking about letting me get an sti when i was looking to trade in my lancer i would have went for it but then i would not have meet any of you crazy ****'s LOL
careful sti's are relatively fast but they have a bad top end at high speed they suckola unless heavily modded. the duty cycle on the boxters crank/piston setup has high interference.

i was all sti gung ho until i did a lot of research.

but for autocross and tracking relatively good on tight courses i hear.

well really you could put any seats into any car. what i would love to see is the vacuume formed rear seats with the hand holes for people who are handcuffed. (dont ask me why i know about that...) that would be so funny to see in an import. or even the shotgun rack....

when you decide to go aftermarket turbo, tell me and i will try to buy your stock turbo from you.

Well it's been about 7 months since I bought the car. I've put about 5 grand into it. The car has been great and is a blast to drive. Still miss the Scion though.

Very nice, what route are you going with it? There is a nice black one I see near my house all the time. I has that "hella flush" look, with a few Fatlace stickers on it.

No ____, I would love to rock that on duty, except for the seats. It's impossilve to sit it racing type seats with duty gear on.
