Default My 2008 STI
Just a select few pics from today, Its getting closer to how I want it but still not 100% yet, Loads still to come yet.

It has suffered the dreaded ringland Failure so it was the perfect excuse to pull the motor and fit a fully forged 2.5 ready for the next stage.

No It's sadly not been on track yet. I didnt trust the chocolate engine that was in it

It will go on track now with the forged motor as it inspires allot more confidence

A good point well made. Have you fitted yet? run in?
Makes me miss mine. Carless at the moment, 3 weeks to go, allegedly.

Codie247 - if you have had ringland failure then please update that 2.5 failures thread
I think its time VOSA new about the number of failures

Anyway - Rob, car is very nice.
Bet white is a pain to keep clean.

Codie (Lee) sold his with no issues as far as I'm aware Shaun.

He's now driving (or waiting to drive by the sounds of it) a French pocket rocket

Stunner mate It's got a great stance. Are those JDM wing mirrors?

Only thing I'd change myself is add the red vinyl "Maserati-style" rear light mod that a few hatch owners have done.

Cheers Mate, Yes they are the JDM mirrors, allot better than the bus ones that were fitted at the factory

I keep looking at the maserati style, i might just order the viynl and have a go myself

True Kyle, gone all frenchy. Had the R26, just waiting for the new RS250 Cup to be delivered.

Rob, last thing yours need s I think, maserati light conversion.
