Old-school STi on X-waver chassis

[color0]

hi everyone,

i'm a little new to the scene over at this forum, so i don't know if i'm known here at all, but i'm over at xmw, infernal, xmoding, mrcc, tinyrc, bitpimps, and r7r, so there's at least a chance.

anyhow, here's my car.

yea ive seen u on the other forums before..very nice

[oddryu]

**** that is one of the *****inest cars ive ever seen

[Numbchux]

That's no JUST AN STi.....that's THE 22b with a goofy wing!!

[crunk rida]

wow thats one bad *** whip u got there! thats the 1st time iv seen your car and yeah i know ya from xmod world, glad to have ya here man.

[lilskipro587]

i have seen that on mini-zracer.com

[RodsRUs]

HAHAHAHA! very killer like super nice lookin
Love the rims!

[color0]

thanks for all the compliments guys; i redid the shell mounting so that the body now clips into the front, and then holds onto the lithiums. i took the thing out for a spin and so far so good, if i keep the throttle under 50% i can control drifts very well. just have to find some safe stuff to drift around.

[oddryu]

but where did you get the body?

[color0]

from toyeast. it's discontinued now, you can pick up the kyosho impreza white body, but it's not the 22B style.

[skyline-rsx392]

yea ive seen u on the other forums before..very nice


dido, its also crazy how u can combine servos and eps and other brand parts with xmods to creat a frankenstein type xmod

[color0]

another update: despite the obvious imperfections (i'm no aznballa), i think the bodykit looks rather decent. understated, but agressive enough to mean business.

[djskyline]

god dude that **** is crazy its so clean its pimp dude im not a big fan of gen1 xmods but after sein ur chassi on you gen1im in luv

[boske]

Wow, nice work man...looks clean :headbang:

[kuecker_dj09]

that is the most insane xmod, out of the cars, that i have seen!!! can't wait for decals!!

[Numbchux]

looks awesome....

but, personally, being a die-hard subaru geek, I miss the 22b wing! And the gold BBS wheels...

But, each to his own, you've still done an AWESOME job there. it looks sweet!!!

[4banger]

i just love that thing;)

[color0]

need an opinion.

i'm looking into these rims by Atomic: they're plastic, light, cheap, and should be of good quality as expected by that manufacturer.

only question is, will they look good on the impreza?

[pittbull988]

try gettin someone to photshop them on it

[color0]

nah, decided not to go through with it. i'll either have someone modify my existing gpm's, or find someone who will make new rims for me.

an update, new bodywork:

[RodsRUs]

[color0]
