Nice motor.

 

Thanks for your comments, I do like the subtle and tasteful approach to modifying.

 

Few more updates.

Firstly I made a mistake!
Couldn't handle the bright Orange brembo's, they really clashed with the blue interior,

Had to whip them off strip them back down and this time when for a metallic Arden blue powder coat.

I'm much happier with this colour!






The Lexus/Subaru collaboration rear lights were ditched in favour of the more desirable blob versions.
Also added silver indicator bulbs.



The AC condenser had taken a stone or something through it, so a replacement was fitted, along with a re gas.

I took the top mount off and tried to clean it up a bit, used a acid aluminium cleaner, It came out as good as I hoped, way better than it was. I also replaced the blue Ic hose with a much more subtle black one.

Before.


And after.


Whiteline top mounts where also fitted, After yet another alignment this has helped increase caster to 4.50 degrees. I would definitely recommend this mod. The steering feel and front end grip is so much better.




That's all for now, But I'm still contemplating a turbo and injector swap, Not really sure if I need the extra power at the moment, The cars is definitely fast enough for what I need.

I've got the funds, spoke to my mapper and found out what turbo will suite my needs, But something is making me undecided.

 

Calipers look really well now good effort for the engine bay aswell

 

really nice work so far very tidy

 

Few more addition to the car.

After being undecided for quite some time I took the plunge and got myself a pair of Wing Stiffi.

Also added the HT auto side skirt extensions and rear lips.
Definitely helped to make the car look more aggressive.



Swapped out the drilled discs for the new Godspeed hook style disc's.



Even tho I'm still using the same compound of pads as before I have felt a better cold bite with these discs.

The other difference I've noticed is the the sound they give off.

With the drilled discs they used to give off a deep woo woo woo noise under hard braking,

With the hook style it's a higher pitch swish swish swish noise that's a lot harder to hear compared to the drilled discs.

 

Looks mint and complete I might go for them side skirt extensions aswell makes it all come together
You can't beat a pair of stiffies completes the sti spoiler IMO I'd love to have my calipers like that

 

Very nice car set up. Where did you get the pioneer da120 headunit from and also the black headlight conversion ?

 

Headunit was from halfords, not sure if they still sell them. Probably a better version out now.

Did the headlights myself with a oven and a can of Matt black spray paint.

 

Well done with the headlights dont think l've got the nerve for that one lol. I'll check the halfords site. Thanks InTurbo.

 

Really nice car and quality thought about mods. Well done!

 

Car looks fantastic and a real credit to you, well done.
