Loving the work youve done with the dash, I nearly painted my dash but didnt know what to do with the silver/grey heater controls but now ive seen yours done it doesnt look bad at all!

keep it up mate
Thanks!
The dash really did turn out very well, I was surprised by how easy the plastidip is to use!
+1 for plastidip, just make sure to clean well beforehand and make sure to spray all around the item and into the back of it so you avoid it peeling off at the edges after a while. Apart from that it will pretty much stick to anything!
Will get all my bits and bobs fitted then see what's next. I imagine ill need new alloys at some stage so may save a little for them. Or else just save some money and buy an STI lol.
Flippin failed MOT, only due to the indicator bulbs not lighting up Orange - I didn't change them when I De-tango'd the headlights, my own fault really..
I have ordered a set of Silvertec bulbs so will get them in and the retest book in a week or two..
So my car has started to smoke , believed to be down to the turbo seals.
I have gotten myself a TD04 turbo from a 2.5 WRX, these are supposed to be stronger than the normal TD04's. To go along with doing the turbo I have bought a cat'less up pipe and a load of gaskets and studs from ICP..
I sent my PSI3 away to Simon at Awuell electronics to be fixed / refurbished as it had stopped working, £75 and two weeks later and its now back in working better than ever .
Lastly, I purchased another STI 3spoke black steering wheel. There were a few marks on my first one that I wasn't completely happy about. Thanks to a member on here I now have one from a 40k mile car.

Hoping to get the new turbo put in tomorrow (Friday 19/02/2016)
As always, C&C welcome.
Matt.

don't forget to set the preload on the actuator or swap the actuator from your TD04 onto this one, i'm pretty sure the hawks had a softer spring in them

New turbo has been fitted along with the decat up-pipe and gaskets. Car is pulling really well now, so far with a bit of mapping magic we are at just over 280bhp.
I also got myself a Blitz Nurspec R exhaust. My favourite exhausts by far. I have had them on my last two Subarus!
This was the exhaust after fitting and before being polished:
Lol they're a good job! Go for the more heavy duty one or even better get both. I think one is for cutting and one is for polishing, the cutting one should do a really good job for polishing anyway.
Hows this one compared to the bugeye mate ? Sounds immense on that video , get it posted on here !
Well the Bugeye was a proper STI so I preferd it lol.. They have different gear ratios with the blob only being a 5speed you don't have to change gear what seemed like every 4 seconds in the bug. Though I'd still take the bug back any day! Loved that little car.
