Merry Christmas all

 

yes it was, filling up with the most expensive vpower ever. was running on fumes

 

i noticed it wasnt cheap!! they have to get money back for refit some how

car was looking if a litlle dirty started me thinking of looking at saloons again think they look great in dark blue like the bug i had b4 hatch

 

yes it was really dirty. Blue is a tw*t to keep clean

 

Anybody knows if Thule making roof racks for 2012 sti sedan? Thanks!

 

'96 L 2.2 sedan.
.

 

Yes, have a set for mine.

Same as for Hatch

Thule Rapid System 753 + Thule 861 Areo Bars (120cm) + Thule 544 Locks/Keys

 

Thanks man!

 

I can confirm that the 200 mile trip back from Exeter this afternoon proved that buying a saloon was the right decision, looking forward to start modding tomorrow am, sun or rain!

 

Glad you enjoyed the enhancements to the MY11 onwards....

My latest upgrade, currently going through customs, to complete the handling package............

 

Don that's looks nice and trick

 

Well here she is, loving the change, car feels so much tighter than the hatch, not sure if its due to the lower mileage but either way its great, Spec C suspension is surperb as are the Recaros.

Bulbs all swapped out so far (indicator for silvertec and sidelights for led's), wheels will go on once I have ordered my RA's as will R205 fender badges, am still looking into exhaust options though! Other plans are HT's front lip and possibly sides and rear. zun mesh and maybe a small rear lip!

Car is a 320r with an upgraded headunit (over the 320r one that is), upgraded front speakers, Pionner sub and rear camera, all dealer fit options, car was owned by the ex Marketing Director of IM.

Hope you like and will post up more in coming weeks as she changes.



cheers
Arron

 

Looking good

Probably feels tighter because of the minor chassis changes and the front pillow ball transverse links

 

Hi all

I've resurrected a H&S group buy if anyone is interested, some very good savings to be had especially on the MY11 cars if anyone is looking for a new exhaust.

Well, 8.30am and boot debadged, spec C grille mod done and R205 fender badges fitted, now for a clean whilst I wait for the postman to deliver my JDM radio surround!

 

 

Good work arron, glad you are enjoying it. When you going to get the turni's fitted ;-)

Could you do me a favour, when you have removed the UK facia before fitting the jdm one could you take a picture of them fitted side by side on a table. Would like to see how the look and the difference between them.

Enjoy

 

Stevie,

Back at the beginning of my thread you'd find these........

UK AV surround - requires filler for double DIN unit



JDM AV surround

 

Haha, am itching to get my Turini's on but need to wait till I order mr RA's as they are a +35 offset so will destroy the paint without them.

Will be sure to take the pics for you too.

 

Don, would you please do me a favour and measure the opening on your JDM radio surround. Received mine from car audio direct and fitted there is still about a 4/5mm gap round the outside of the headunit so does not look as good as I had hoped. I have since purchased a universal filler piece that I am going to try an fab up but wondered if the Subaru JDM one you have has a slightly smaller hole?

Thanks

 

Ok its only just clicked what the difference is lol, cheers don

Guys could you both pop a link up to compare them, will have to order one up

 

Will check out tomorrow

 

Arron, actual size of opening is 175mm x 100mm

From the picture below there is an average gap around the Pioneer faceplate of approx 2 to 2.5mm.
However mine is positioned so the gap at the bottom is negligible and the wider gap at the top "lost in the shadows".

 

Cheers Don that is perfect, it looks then that the one I have its pretty similar in size to yours, will have a measure when I get home, I was probbaly just being fussy and wanted it to fit aswell as the OE surround in my hatch with the OE headunit, I guess an aftermarket headunit is never going to fit that snug!

Thanks again
Arron

 

Just joined the clan Picking it up Saturday

Already got some parts ready to go on it;




Will now be making a lot more parts


Mark @ HTAutos.

 

Well done Mark, that‘s what we like to see, two questions.

1)What grill do you have their, or have you just had it colour coded
2)Is that the subtle option rear lip, if so is it oe and are you planning on making some ;-)

And looking forward to see what you come up with, I am already thinking it’s going to hurt my wallet!

Thanks
Arron

 

How are you Mark,,,,,, this all looks very familiar (plasma Blue aswell)

Hope you enjoy it pal and can't wait to see what else you make.....

 

Excellent Mark

 

Hi Arron,


In answer to your questions;

1) Grill is a sports grill we manufacture.
2) Its a TS A-Line spoiler, we also manufacture.

Cheers,

Mark

 

Hi Hugh, will keep this thread updated on the new products
Was a toss up between Plasma blue and silver, after working on your car blue won by a country mile.
