Project carbon sti Wagon. Finally some updated pictures!
Hi guys. I thought I'd finally sit down and start a thread detailing my STI Wagon build.
First off the car started life as a 2.0l Sport Wagon in green. Did the usual HKS induction kit and Magnex exhaust as I was 20 and insurance was a killer. Then later added STI wheels, Turbo bonnet and RA rear disc conversion. It looked like this... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...scooby/sc2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...scooby/sc1.jpg It stayed that way for about 2 years untill i had a little bump in the snow messing about :rolleyes: I desided instead of having the panel re sprayed I'd do the car instead....and got a little carried away. :freak3: Started taking it to bits. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture094.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture093.jpg Then it ended up looking like this. 22b Front bumper and front mount cooler. If you look real close you can see its also got a fully working RA roof scoop. Something I havent seen on a Classic wagon yet. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture097.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture098.jpg While this was off the road I desided to treat myself to an Import STI wagon. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture091.jpg I've had it a few weeks and finally my other wagon is now out of the paint shop. Hope you like it. Its painted in GB270 Urban Grey. Deffo no Classic Wagons in this colour! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture100.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture099.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture092.jpg Both cars are now in the barn so I can take the full running gear out of the STI and pop it in the Grey one. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture090.jpg Couldn't resist adding my carbon bits. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture089.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture088.jpg Scoop. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture085.jpg Full HKS exhaust and wrapped Stainless manifold waiting for the STI lump. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture087.jpg And some big brakes to stop it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture086.jpg Also got some other bits and bobs waiting. I'll keep you updated on my progress... |
Some good work there.
Whats up with the front suspension? Ticky |
No engine in the grey one at the moment. HKS coilovers waiting. :thumb:
|
Too late now I know, but y not jus knock the sport on the head, sell it, and use the cash for that on the respray for the sti wagon? :confused:
|
lol, a good point by bioforger :D
not enough wagon type threads so will be watching with interested...what perfomance mods do you have planned? |
i no thats what i should have done but my sport wasent worth anything with all the dents all over it. at the time i was thinking of keeping it with just a sport engine.thought what the hell lets put a sti engine in it. after looking about for an engine i thought it would be cheaper to buy an sti and sell the buts i dont need off that:)
