Sean had been running his car in the SCCA's relatively-new STS class, but due to possible classing problems in the future, and a desire for more speed, he switched to D Street Prepared (DSP) for the 2003 season. As many modifications as possible will be added to the car to make it competitive in this difficult class.

Chris recently traded in his 2.5RS for a 2004 STi, silver of course ;) With only 400 miles on the clock, he hasn't had a chance to run it hard yet (ed note: he's lying, he's run the piss out of it many times, he's just too lazy to update this!), but he's been impressed by its great mid range punch and more upscale interior. He's mostly spent his time installed a nice Panasonic (783U) CD/MP3 headunit, front door speakers, and a trunk mounted sub enclosure (with amp) with two 10-inch subs. Rear door speakers are next.
