(especially at your age) :D Weather permitting we are out once or twice every week :) Hunter gathering mode at the moment and I've just pick these chaps up :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...B408BB6EEC.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...B3FEBC8C67.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...B413804C83.jpg I need to get the rears in preparation now they are all lined up, then get the PCD re drilled for the classic fitment..... This time around I'm thinking of getting the discs grooved a touch for show. I had planned to paint them red but the black does look sweet :cool: |
Leave em black Si. Subtle and classy :D

I went and had a little play at the skatepark tonight Si...three months since I've ridden so it was scary :D
Keep them black, Frayz is right, less is more ;) |
They look like the Brembo's I sold a while back, black is much more subtle. :thumb:
|
What's the plan decal wise bud, are you keeping the Sti logos or will you be sourcing some Brembo ones?

One of the guys on the RA forum posted a link to some Brembo decals which are design to be lacquered over so I have sent away for them as I had them in mind for the initial red idea... I have to get the paint for the rears anyway and I'm just thinking maybe I could loose the Sti logo and drop the Brembo decal on the fronts as well to just to be a little different.

I've sorted the exhaust out today I'm pleased to say and will have a HKS Silent HiPower here ready to polish for when its time to fit, best exhaust ever made I feel :D that will be here next week and pictures to follow. Another early planning step will be wheels.. I'm sticking with 17"s that's a fact on this one but first I need to find what fits over the brakes and then see what's available at what cost. I know what I like but that does not mean it likes my wallet :lol1: so any ideas and pictures for wheels fire away I'm open to opinions. |
Do the centre of the discs black like the calipers,😎look good.
|
Disc centres are going to be silver this time, I did black on my last conversion and I think silver will add a clean look to it.
Small parts update, exhaust arrived today from Ade :thumb: to me this is the best off the shelf exhaust available its volume look and quality tick all of my boxes :cool: Here's a few before I start to work on it ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...5bb8289ffb.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...718AF99D98.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...7193FE5BEB.jpg Also found the old mock up bracket we made around 5 years ago for mounting the rear Brembo calipers.... This was taken from a design discussed on this forum a long while back and put into practice. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...719B3B9A76.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...71A2A09400.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...71A94BF886.jpg Sorry not the best quality pictures tonight but you get the idea, it's a one piece construction which will mount the Calipers in the correct place for the OEM size rear Brembo discs to be fitted along with enlarged handbrake shoes. I have some pictures of my old set up if anyone wants to have a closer look at the finished job now. |
Tip top Si.

Does anyone have the correct colour code for the Cerise colour that the Sti suspension is painted in and is there somewhere that can supply it in a rattle can as I'm considering the options for refreshing the suspension. |
Powdercoating would be best I think mate.

Wouldn't cost much to do though mate if you do all in one go. :)

I've been working on the Landy tonight and my brother has a paint supplier that will mix us a small quantity and he can then paint anything we want.
As he is not a Subaru man he did question the whole "pink" thing. :D |
