Default My Blob STI

Had my car a few months now. Little history, its an 04, only done 34k and got it for a good price. The previous owner restores old bentley's and other classics and i don't think he used it.
Got it bought, gave it a full service and let the mods begin!
The day i got it:


Then came a few power upgrades; full exhaust system from cobra, hks panel filter, walbro fuel pump and a remap from Duncan at race dynamics.
Next up, a few syling pieces, splitter, black detango'd headlights, painted badges, new sti badges, tinted windows, tein s.tech springs and finally yesterday (a little 24th birthday present to myself!) my new BBS CH reps!

Powdercoated and wrapped in some toyo t1r's:



Thanks for looking!

I want to push for over 400bhp, but im about to turn 24 so insurance is not on my side!
I need to sort the handling too, would like rear arb, maybe an ALK and definately need to look at alignment!

My hats off to you for achieving so much at the tender age of just 24!

You sound like a very mature person for your age. Its kind of funny but in the western world when some is in their 20's they're regarded in many ways as still being a kid.

In many parts of the world you actually mature into a responsible adult in your teens and if you don't, then you and you're family will just starve!
