Default Project Black/red bugeye
Well, had her since Feb, and done a few subtle mods. Monies dried up for her a while back when I had to get the clutch done while in Scotland...£730.00 ouch.

Bits I havent taken picture of

1.De-tango'd all round
2.Larger STI style scoop
3.Taken OEM radio out, normal size one in, with real subaru pocket.

Got some WRX seats, without runners though, had a mare getting some that fitted, in the end Japerformance parts came up trumps.



Then did the old caliper tart up, Hammerite red for the Win.



Then as some of you know, got the windows tinted at a very good price, and very good finish/quality too.



And these turned up in the post today






And currently lost out 3 times on fleebay for STI clocks, keep getting piped right at the last minute.!

Car spent the day here...

Full Service
Cambelt Service
Uprated brake lines ( ready for larger disc's project )
Ninja2 cat back exhaust package
AfterBurner Filter
Red Mudflaps all round to continue the Black/Red theme.

Got home after taking this, and de-badged her. Not sure either to do wheels next, or rear spoiler. Also tempted to spray the scoop red too.

ooh, got this off Simon, just goto find time to fit it.

You can use hammerite but i think the two part caliper paints give a better finish

I used red hammerite, only one coat at the mo. Really needs rubbing down, to smooth it of, then another coat. Too hot at the mo though...

As you know from the brakes thread, been 'umming and arring' about what to do...untill today. Went to Jap perf parts, and bought these.....





Also got a Sti strutbrace and a JDM Sti front grill...

Wheels will be going on tomorrow, after being balanced ( with sticky weights this time ) and as a bonus, they all have Bridgestones on! Just need to find some centre caps.

As for the brakes, now I need to decide weather to put them as they are, or change the colour.

Got this from the postman today ( not actually from the postman but....)





Was a steal from a guy on Scooby net, £80.00

The list of items needing fitting is getting long now though, and not long left till Japbash.

I have one of those.....get rid of the plastic air scoop from the front cross member when you fit it, it seems to make a difference to the ponies!

Was brave today, chopped the badge section out of my JDM grill. Did it by heating a hacksaw blade up on the cooker, then it slowley sliced through. Lovely smell...not.

A couple of layers of paint and sorted. Going to try a match the mesh on the scoop, and the gap below.

Still on the quest for new lenses for the lights, pro-drive finally responded after 4 weeks with a big fat NO.

After months of 'umming and arring' finally made a choice. Lovely as they were in gold, just didnt fit in with my plan, so I sprayed them red

They look a little orange in the photo, but there bright red. Pleased with how they turned out. Would have liked slightly bigger 'brembo' stickers though, but this was about the 7th set to come through the post....so i have a few spare now...

Masive Masive thanks to CJ, who put my Brembos on today, then went onto pop my manifold on, with just a little cursing.

Still on my quest for center caps though...

Looking good, like the red Brembos, stops it looking like an STi clone! Where did you get the decals from as I'm planning to put the Brembos on the rear of mine but in Black.

Fitted some STI struts/springs over last 3 days. Took its tool on me though, both rears tried to kill me. Pasenger side rachet slipped off the nut, square into my nose, craking it on the bridge. And the drivers side...

Bottom nut was stuck fast, used a old dumbell bar as a breaker bar, same thing happened, this time I fell over ( lol ) craked the bottom rib on the left side.

Left it for a day, re-attacked it at CJ's. Managed to get it undone. Car now sits about 2 -3 cm lower all round, and feels so much firmer. Well please. If it stops raining I'll get some photos done.

Seats tomorrow, even though the hospital said take it easy....yeah right!

Little update.

Now removed 2 more Cats, front and up. Just need a downpipe now.

Sounds much nicer now.

All done very kindly by Tone, who got me in at short notice, changed my Track Rod ends too.

With that done, and with me being to late for the Geo Day, had a full 4 wheel alignment and geo just done. Ouch...bit expensive but it was WAAAAYYYY out.

Camber, Caster and Toe on each corner, Total Front and Rear Toe, Steer ahead and Thrust angle all now set up for a STI, rather than a WRX as I swapped the struts/springs over.

A few changes over the next few days planned too, a new look for 2010. The the real engine mods are to begin

A few more then

Covers up the stone chips on the bonnet, cheaper than a re-spray. Still need to touch up the front bumper though.

Very tempted to get the whole car done...

Got some goodies in the post today

STI Real Spoiler, in the correct code colour, and in great condition.

De-cat downpipe, Thanks Rich. .

Going to clean, wax the spoiler, too see if its good enough to fit, if it is, going to dig out the drill, to make the extra holes...

Not bad for a first effort, well second actually. Broke the rev counter needle on my UK ones when I was doing a dummy attempt.



Just need to do the foggy switches somehow.

Thats looks so much better with the black mud flaps!!!!!!

loving the carbon wrap, wonder how much for the entire car???

And as for the red screws on the number plate could you not mask up to follow the white and red lines and get some enamel model paint and a small brush? i know id have to!
Liking the toe sticker on the back never seen those before, not sure about the front one though. i look forward to seeing it blat past me on th M25.
