GF8 Oki-style

[Draggin A$$]

Hey, I'm Mark. I'm currently stationed in Okinawa and this is my build. It might not see dirt but I'm going for a Tarmac Attack look.

Here's some background on it. It's a 96 WRX wagon, I picked it up in Sept 08 then I deployed in Nov. I got back 4th of July weekend and this is what I've done so far.

Here's what it looked like when I got it

My first mod was a Blitz BOV that I had laying around. I made the pipe and flange for it.

While I was deployed a friend was taking car of my car (so my wife didn't have to worry about it). While he had it he put some Tein S-Tech springs and Enkei NT03s

[rollo]

That's a beast of an IC... looking awesome.

[dropdfocus]

We dont have that much available here. I'm just getting lucky. On mainland it a little bit easier to find thing.

Thanks!!

[dropdfocus]

I love the pic in you have in your avatar BTW!!! I used to own a bagged '87 Nissan Hardbody, but then stripped it down for a motor swap (Ford 351 Windsor) which never when far, so then I parted it out. :-(

Thanks!! The truck was mine when I was in Florida. I was a 91 S-10 with a 3.5 inch bodydrop and a 383. I miss it!!

[dropdfocus]

Sweet!!!! At least you have a sick Suby to take it's place!

I miss my truck too. I had plans for my '85 C-10 to be slammed but it had an engine fire back in August and totaled the truck. So that ruined those plans from happening.

[RA Limited]

man i have that skid plate you asked me about like 10 times

[Draggin A$$]

man i have that skid plate you asked me about like 10 times

Are you back??

[RA Limited]

080-1799-6085. Gimme a call, the skidplate/hardware is yours for $50 (or Y4000?)....

[RA Limited]

haha cross into the blue!

I just made Staff Sgt (E5), and i'm about to reenlist for 6 more years, so you can bet car stuff is in order... I'll probably buy a bugeye in the states to have waiting for me.

[dropdfocus]

That wagon is so damn perfectly HOT!!!!!!!!! Don't change a single thing!

[caps]

Way to go!! I didnt know you made Staff. I hope I make Tech this time. You gonna try for a STI or just a WRX bugeye?

[Draggin A$$]

Well I have a little update. I ordered a 8 point cage Friday, it should be here in a week. Here is a pic of it at the store before it gets shipped from Tokyo to Okinawa.

You would really hate me if I told you how much I paid for them.
