nice, no wonder its expensive then lol

 

I'm sorely tempted by this



Availbale from here

japanparts.com : PARTS DATABASE

Don't know if Iain can get the parts on there as they seem to be all JDM.

 

Looked at that myself but was scared off by the price, as I am with most of the stuff on that website!!!

I think they can post direct though.

 

Think its only for the WRX not STi tho.

Lee

 

Some of us only have the WRX spoiler . yeah, your right, it will only fit the small roof wing as fitted to the wrxd's and wrx's.

 

Simon, wasn't saying mine is bigger than yours or owt! Does look nice tho.
Oh and stop putting up pics of your modding ideas!!! Costing me a fortune!!

Lee

 

the 20th anniversary tower bar looks rather scrummy!!!

 

In that case Codie dont look now

Carbon fibre centre console, oooo suits you sir!!



and a close up




Dont worry, its vinyl. Came from the guy on DW world I posted earlier!!

Probably a good thing I have lost my trim popper, or I can see the door flashes getting done too, they shouldn't be that hard to cover.

 

And tonights installment!!!

What it looks like fitted and in daylight. Will have to be redone at some point, in the process of fitting it in the dark, when pushing it back intot he dash, I managed to cause a small ripple so that will have to be sorted.




Now does anyone know how to get the silver flashes off that surround the dorr handles???

 

No - but I do know how to be the 1000th poster in this thread

Very nice CF look btw

 

Simon, have you got a full picture of the dash? Oh and stop showing off with your MPG figures in the pics

Lee

 

Codie, not yet, if plans come together at the weekend, I'll grab 1 then. Oh sorry about the mpg readout.....

If anyone wants to see this, I have a few off cuts I can send out as samples so you can see the material, and the seller is more than happy for you to speak to him.

Yeah right, believe that and you'll believe anything..





Now to get thise door handle surrounds off!!!! Oh and the light trims......

 

Simon, bet your car begining to resemble an airfix model- in bits!!

Lee

 

Not yet, I've lost my trim tool, so it looks like it might just be the bum that gets wrapped this weekend, whilst I wait for a new 1 to turn up.

Trying really hard not to do anything untill its had its first service in March 2010!

 

Well thanks to RB5 I managed to get my hands on a shiny Prodrive backbox which I fitted last weekend, looks so much better than the standard exhaust.

Standard


Prodrive


On tickover its pretty quite but maybe a little more throaty, does seem to open up though when under load, I'll probably be fitting a de-resonated centre pipe pretty soon though so hoping that will incraese the noise a little more.

looking good Aaron

 

car is looking good Aaron.....is it brand new??? if it is, its gonna take a couple of weeks to break in and it'll get louder by the day.....

 

Pretty much new, Its off of RB5's car so about 2/3 months old, whenever I drive seems quite but guess that is to do with the improved sound insulation on the Hatch and is autually louder on the outside, seems so anyway when the Mrs go out!

 

If anoyone is thinking about defi's, the light pod by the mirror is so weasy to remove its untrue. You pop the frosted but out and by each bulb there is a screw. Take these out and it drops into your hands.

 

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Subaru you cost cutting, penny pinching, corner cutting cheapskates!!!! Better build quality does not mean put more bloody clips into the panels. It means use better materials

The rear silver flashes on my doors are all screwed in, great dead easy to take off..... Pity about the fronts.... They have screw posts, but only 1/2 of them have screws in, the other half are all hot met plastic rivets

Still, atleast all my cosmetic mods are all done now.. Phew... Although I have just seen a pic from the states of my bumper with an sti spliiter on, thankfully credit card says no


Anyway to nights installment before the full pics tomorrow. I think I may have got a bit carried away.....





When I say carried away, I mean I've even done the light by the rear view mirror!!!!!! Just as well I dont have enough stuff left to do any more to the car.....

For those of you thinking about doing the silver panel with the switch gear in, they will be impossible to wrap, atleast on mine, their 1 complete unit. On the link someone posted earlier to the CF replacements, the pnaels had no grab handle recesses in, just holes where they should be.

 

Great thread all, few pics of ours, 2.5 Euro from litchfields, had it since April 2008,23k on the clock now

Really interested in the carbon, how difficult is it to fit? any info wold be much appreciated

 

Hi, is this Paul? SIDC member? If it is, hows it going mate?
(Lee SIDC)

Lee

 

Yes mate tis me, it's going well thanks, how's yourself?

Considering tweaking the suspension, don't want to go too far as it's Debbie's daily driver, but would like it to feel a bit sharper when I get chance for a play

Really interested in the carbon, but more for the P1, got a couple of panels I could trial it on first

 

Scooby Wagon, its dead easy. Just requires thought and to take your time doing it. Other than than, easy peasy. Just like covering school books in stick backed plastic.. Warmng the stuff gently with a hair dryer makes contours alot easier.

Drop me a PM with your addy and I'll put a couple of off cuts in the post so you can have a play.

 

Paul

Car is looking fantastic. Good to see you pop up on here.

Simon

Great job on the carbon work. Might have a go at some of them myself. Would you PM me the supplier details.

Cheers

Mick

 

It has just took me 2.5hrs to fit a bloody ARB!!! I rounded the allen hole on the droplink!!! Had to remove full bar plus droplinks, take to kwikfit to remove!! Had to drip the exhaust to get bars in and out. Just one of them days when nowt goes right!!! I actually went out with the intention of fitting my springs. That'll be next week then!!

Lee

 

Thanks Simon, PM sent

Lee what roll bar you fitted? be interested to know how you get on with it

Cheers
Paul

 

Hi Paul, just fitted the Whiteline adjustable rear ARB with the braces(cheers Mog). Not been far in it to test properly but will let u know how it is before I fit springs. How's yours running? Did you do anything powerwise?
Cheers
Lee

 

Thanks Lee, car's running well thanks, Debbie's really happy with it, being honest it's her car, I don't drive it too much

 

doesnt the remap invalidate your warranty tho?
