like what you are doing. loose the spoiler shame to affectively throw money in the bit but happens when you are going for the right look

nice dub style on a jap car. my take on it?

 

Thought id update this now as its been a lil while.









And Race Tube courtesy of 53WRX Sounds amazing!



Fog light fell off so been busy repairing it





Soon to be sprayed, but cant decide on colour yet

 

Always enjoy reading the updates on this thread

Every time I've looked on, I keep thinking you're gonna spoil it, but it just looks sooooo swwweeeeeet!!!!!

Good luck with convincing the plod about the exhaust if they pull you though

What exhaust is it ??? Where can I get one? I'd buy 1 just to put on every now and again just to annoy and wake the neighbours

 

Looks great, who's the gearbox driver?

 

Not keen at all.... getting worse by the day.... that hose sticking out next to the stickered fog cover (insert wtf smilie) ....

 

i like your idea with the oil cooler BUT in order for it to look right you need braided hose and mount the thing on the outside

 

The car looks like a mess IMO.
All these things that you're doing to make
it look 'different' or 'cool' are just making it
worse.

 

You think that looks right?

As for the car in the post I'm still with DCI all the way.

 

It would be a boring world if we all had the same car!

Not sure about the hose but looking good mate!

The cars that gsung1 posted are muckin fental

 

looks good . id loose the oil cooler pipe though under the bumper .


loving the skyline in the link above

 

Looking good As said above though,some braided hose on the oil cooler and it will look awesome

 

Can we have a lok at pictures of yours car then lads?..................I'm sure you would have both positive and negative comments about them............It might not be to everyones taste, but I'll give the lad 10 out of 10 for effort and orignality....

 

Its a very marmite car, i think either you love it or hate it!

Plate will be moved soon, new oil cooler with braided hose is on order and fog light should be on again soon

....and of course, soon to be lower

 

This sort of comment grates with me. The guy has put his car up on here for comments and we are commenting.

We don't have to like it just because it is different!!

 

wheels look mint you could get an sti bonnet and mount the oil cooler where a sti top mount goes iv seen it done.

 

really good job but the cooler hose is a step to far imo...form over function in the worse possible way

 

ballin'

 

No, although I can tell you I've had a 4 STI's 2 x standard, 1 x WR1 and a 320. Now have a STi hatch as well as another non STi subaru. All lovingly looked after in standard guise.

Now effort and originality, I could spend 10 years painting a car pink with a cotton wool ear bud and then mount an gas fired arga on the roof... it'd be original and would have taken some effort - I guess you'd give that a 10 as well?

 

lol oil pipe is fackin stupid, apart from that its ok, oh except the ***** fog light stickers

 

like the wheels, suspension drop...preferred it without the spoiler tbh. but...good on yer Tom...i like the fact that it is different and a very interesting thread...keep it coming!

 

well young man you have certanly got everyone reacting, makes a change from just getting " nice car mate". keep it up oh and get rid of the pipe.

 

I think it looks super cool, keep up the good work but some braided hose would be better and i preferred it without the boot spoiler, but thats just me. keep up the good work pal

 

Please note im not saying anything Cant please everyone, learnt my lesson now

Cant wait to drop it, week after next going to strip the front coilovers off and go to work unseizing them...dont know what we can achieve, must have tried most things by now!

Anyone got some tips for unseizing coilovers? Never come across it before and kinda struggling tried soaking them in WD40, then penetrant spray, extension on the C-spanners and then as a last resort hammer and chisel (very carefully!). Hopefully pop them in a vice and try it all again

 

No but I'd probably say your a boring old fart like those show n shine nobbers

 

.... let's not derail Toms thread eh?

 

Fair enough........

 

yep it's diffrent, i like diffrent, but you dont have to like what it looks like, the fact it's diffrent makes it good

 

Oil cooler is off now, looks cleaner without it.

Finished smoothing out my prodrive splitter now, just going to prime it up and then fingers crossed get it colour coded at weekend.

 

Good work fella...look forward to seeing your splitter fettling

 

please loose the wing and put it on its ***,, stance ftw

would look sick
