You may remember a while ago I posted a thread about stuff I'd done to my brother's MY97 UK Turbo while he was away in Japan.
It included, full decat, 4 pot brake upgrade, STi 6 spoiler, major suspension mods etc.
Well since he died, I've kept his car and decided to get it how he would have wanted it.
So I've fitted some 17" BK238s in black chrome (after having a dream about them
!!) with brand new Goodyear F1s.
Also I've fitted 2 HKS Electronic gauges, boost and EGT.
It's also running 1.2 bar now and doing 272bhp.
Over the next few weeks I've planned:
Morettes
HKS Racing Suction kit
MRT uprated Top mount intercooler
Hybrid turbo
Here are the pics anyway, what do you think?

Phew, First chance I've had to get on Scoobynet since Friday!
Cheers for all the replies,
Yes, fivepint it is a CF pillar (not the real McCoy though)
and I certainly hope that I don't scuff those alloys!!
I've been needing to get a taxi to the kerb after parking up, I've been so far away , just in case!
I'll post some more pics when the rest of the mods go on.
Cheers

Rich,
I'm not a fan of green either, but must say the car looks stunning
Wheels are lovely.
Fair play to you doing all this work to enhance the car, your brother would have been made up mate
Cheers Phill C

A few more ideas, I know they aren't useful for power.........
How about upgrading to an MY00 style front bumper with a front lip, STI fog covers and get some MY00 clearer headlamps?
Just a thought
