My STi Ra refurb.
Hi guys as you can tell from some of my previous posts im a bit of a head case. I describe myself as an enthusiastic driver, as you can see i drive an STi RA which can only be described as a drivers car.
I take part in night event rallies with gary (GTVLEW) plus im building a stage rally car too.

Anyway enough about me, lol, i decided to give the ra a refurb as the winter salt is starting to disapier and the sun has finally got his hat on.
.
.Started on the back end of the car last week with a strip down and clean.
These were a shock?? Are they standerd??

.Its a long process. I only wanted to do the subframe and i ended up doing everything that came off
. Looks so much better tho. The tracking is the nightmare after not many places will attempt it.
