Hey my name is Dave Adams, I'm a friend of Scott's. I have a 2004 Subaru Impreza Mutt, its originally a RS but has parts from wrx and sti. Not much stock parts are left on there. I love going to the track and hanging out with other car enthusiasts. I just got into photography and am always up for a car shoot. Not much bugs me more than immature d bags that ruin things for the rest of us. I'm looking forward to going to your guys meets and events.

Can't guarantee professional but the above pick was with my Iphone 4s and picasa editing. I have a Nikon D3100 with a crappy lense but it turns out good pictures. Ill post more of mine when I can take some real ones.

Also I forgot to mention I prefer Hellafunctional over HerraFrush but I can respect any well done car. If you put something chrome from autozone on your car then its just not cool.

Also anyone know mod friendly safety and emission inspection stations?

Subject: Re: Subie from Fairfax Tue Jan 17, 2012 1:22 am

Only one I know of is in Amissville way out in the boonies. As far as the emissions I'm not sure. That's a good bit of work done to it. Make sure you break that thing in. You might have seen the thread about a possible dyno day.

what ecu are you running?

Posts : 83 Points : 4591 Rep : 3 Join date : 2012-01-15

Stock ecu with a Cobb accessport.

Posts : 370 Points : 4949 Rep : 3 Join date : 2011-11-14

stock sti or the one from your car?

as long as you are running the stock ecu for your car and have no check engine lights.. it should be easy to get passed

Posts : 83 Points : 4591 Rep : 3 Join date : 2012-01-15

Haha it's stock for the engine but not for the car. It's a wrx ecu and all wrx wiring. After the tune I won't have any cel's.

oh. you might have an issue then.

In virginia, on obdII cars they check it via scantool. well, its a computer but basically it just checks for check engine lights and monitor status. It sends the DMV the info electronically after it pulls the vin number from the ecu. since you are using a wrx ecu, i would imagine that you wouldnt get credit for the emissions test.

is the car your dd?
