And in rolls the SaaBeeru ... by Bradcr

And here's where the flaming begins...

On a side note, if you don't think your shifter is thick enough, try baseball grip

Got the thumbs up from my shop to go ahead and throw on an intake. Still no Stage 2 power until maybe January but at least I can hear my turbo, and throttle response when not in boost is much better. Took a mix of a TurboXS intake, new AEM filter and SPT heat shield also used it as an excuse to get a lot more white under the hood and the Sabeeru plate makes it far more official.

Oh well, guess I called that one... had the stripes for a couple weeks now and still getting good responses, so looks like I'm leaving them on. I'm still kind of meh on the rear view mirrors, but that's entirely based off the passenger zoom effect. The appearance is still fine to me, albeit not as stock as I'd like; I may look into STI mirrors as an alternative at some point. I think I just need to get the wife's Canon once the brakes and coilovers are done and try to get some shots that don't look like it's wrapped in reflective tape... I'm also trying to get a balance for when graphics like this go on the side:

Did say screw it though- I'm putting on the Cobb Downpipe next weekend and when we're ready to set up the Prototype exhaust I'll switch back to the stock DP for the baseline dyno test. Would do it this weekend, but we're putting the divorced Nameless DP on the WRX

Most annoying thing is there will be 4 DP installs on the SaaBeeru: Cobb, Stock, Prototype, and then Prototype again when I do the uppipe.
