Default AWD to RWD madness!

I gues I'll make a formal introduction.

My name Is Devin, I bought my 2006 BB S2000 back in march of 2012. Got it almost completely stock except for a cat back exhaust that i dont know the brand of. So for the past 7 months I've been learning as much as I can about the car. Have a few plans I want to do over winter, nothing crazy tho. I'm coming from a balls out built 04 STi, so its nice to have something stock and reliable again. I'll keep this updated as i proceed with mods and such. On to the pics







Heres a few of the STi in her glory

^ Welcome Devin

Nice looking car. You must know Jake (jsenclosure) who is active on the Subie boards. Gilly, another member also owns an STi. If you need to stock up on parts, check out the for sale section - jsenclosure is selling parts off of a damaged car. He has a stock exhaust for sale.

Thanks everyone. Yeah ive been all over the forsale threads. The exhaust doesnt bother me but it needs a new gasket some where after the cat. Im mainly looking for suspension parts. I really want to focus on handling. The STi was making over 550whp but i never really did much to up the handling besides coilivers. I do have a question, i was thinking about doing an eibach pro kit springs with eighbach front and rear sway bars, is there anything else i should look into? Im going to do coilovers but the stock struts are pretty good so instead of pulling them out just use em until they break. Are their any bushings i should look into changing? I like to do alot of spirited mountain driving. So i want to stiffen up the chasis.

Whereabouts are you located? Upstate is big but we have an active contingent through out. You should make it out to a local meet or drive as and when one is planned.

Welcome to upstate.
I've only lowered my S2k on the Eibach pro kit and have had no issues with the car. Unless you go really wide with tires like say 255/40-17, then you may rub the rear fenders. So just be aware of that. Another great mod to do to these cars is to swap out the intake with an AEM V2 cold air kit and get yourself the center console organizer from Modifry. It's a great little invention and you should love it too.

I also own a Subaru WRX, 2003 war wagon. Hahah... Great car with a stupid-ass P0442 CEL since I bought 2 years ago. So if you still have your original 2004 Subaru wheels, I may be interested in them. Otherwise, welcome and nice cars you have there.
