[QUOTE="RusM, post: 1474880, member: 18822"] So I decided I needed a nicer car, spent about two months sifting through various clapped out WRX's and finally found a decent car, a SAAB! [IMG]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gul3s5xVGhs/TyIaxsLMU_I/AAAAAAAACWM/7VeSfnydr7c/s640/IMG_0040.JPG[/IMG] IN 2005/6 SAAB, licensed an Impreza wagon in regular and WRX form from Subaru. They've got some cool little differences from the WRX, but essentially the same car. [IMG]http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/416944_2925869540272_1066902466_2895425_1550998367_n.jpg[/IMG] My plans with this car are to keep it very mild, pretty much stock, with a few bolt on mods. The very first mod was snow tires as I bought it during the snow storm and had to pull it out of a snow drift after the original owner performed an ill-advised evasive maneuver on the icy freeway. Planned mods are; strut/sway bars, summer/winter tires, cat-less up pipe, turbo back exhaust, pro tune, window tint. Contemplating skid plates so I don't worry about the undercarriage when I take it on a rough logging road. Today I did a mod I read about on one of the WRX forums, the wide load mod! :beer: All the WRX seats have these stupid little metal side bolsters that in my case dig into the middle of my leg and make the seats really uncomfortable after a few miles.

[IMG]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-5NG90TlsBAE/TzhEXmtOYxI/AAAAAAAACWk/LaDVHoGfMnM/s640/IMG_0050.JPG[/IMG] Clips to remove seat from frame.
