Default Little Red ED

A very brief back story on this car. I got informed that I was going to Afghanistan for a year so I didn't want my wife to deal with a car payment and insurance, so I decided to sell my 2006 WRX. After looking for weeks and making offers on a ton of cars I found this gem on AZ craigslist. The guy who owned it owns a body shop, Harrison's Auto Body and Paint Works, and for the most part just buys older civics and restores them for resale. His dad who is 70 years old painted the car. I am officially the third owner, though Anthony who owns the body shop never really drove it. I know it's bought not built but go ahead and be angry and suck it. This is a very well built car and he was going to tear it back down if I would not have bought it. So, on with the specs and pics.

Engine:
Original D15 with 152K on the clock
HKS intake
MagnaFlow with custom bent tips (mini bosozoku? lol)
New OEM clutch
New A/C components
New WP/TB
All scheduled maint done by Honda

Sus/Wheels:
Custom F2 coils (body was cut and re-threaded to ride well super low)
- Ride is phenomenal. Car is actually an inch or so higher than when I picked
it up just so I could actually drive it over small bumps etc.
F2 rear LCAs
Rear camber kit
Neuspeed fron strut bar
Work Meister CR-01 GM/Black 15x8 +20mm on 175/50/15 (summer wheels unless I sell them)
Konig Spooled Piano Black 15x8 +20 on 205/50/15 512's (winter setup)
Work nuts
Extended lugs

Exterior:
Hot Rod Flatz Hot Rod Red - single stage and ultra tough
Everything was painted sans bay
All new seals and rubber
All trim was refurbished
Headlights and tails were polished back to new condition, mid tail light was heated back to flat
Nearly all hardware is new
Shaved antenna and keyholes
OEM mud guards (removed due to scrapeage everywhere I drive)

Interior:
All plastics are absolutely mint
Re-upholstered seats front and back with new foam
Door cards re-done
JDM console
Buddy Club shift **** (dis-continued version)
Mugen pedals
Aftermarket BT head unit
All new speakers
10" sub box with amp and cap

On with the pics!

Thanks all. I've got a few things in store in the future. I'm debating on the swap, most likely a B16/18. Not really concerned about big power, just drivability. I'll paint the bay when I do that. Not sure what color. I'd like a tuck as well. That would really round out the car. I already ordered a gauge cluster with a tach, I want the OEM clock too. Will do another shoot with the other wheels once I get them mounted.

I actually DIDN'T like it because it has a couple of little trendy styles I don't like rolled into it BUT...it amazing all comes together rather nicely. Quite frankly I'm a little jealous

Very nice car, I'm a fan.
