Ok i got some pics for now...

Perrin rear sway bar with solid endlinks and stainless steel lines





Heres a pic comparing the stock catback to my greddy evo2. This whas when i was installing it at a friends shop



this is what it looks like from behind(before the drop)



Some artsy fartsy pic of my driving lights haha



pic of the recently installed gauges (ignore the CEL)



I decided to do the headlight mod again. I did it differently this time. I took out the orage cover and put in a silver star signal bulb. It looks A LOT better imo

 

Random pic before the drop



My i-club sticker and shocker sticker



My trunk monkey just chillin



Heres a pic of some things before they were installed...big ups to oakos and scoobytuner





Rear strut bar installed



Random pic when I used to have oem fogs w/ yellow bulbs

 

My dirty i/c hoses



Only real updated pic of my engine bay...I have plans to get a different maf hose but i feel it helps and i got it for 10 bucks soooo....



u/p i got for 20 bucks which i then gutted. Ill be puttin this in shortly

 

I recently got some tanabe gf210's and am looking for some kyb agx's...After a looong debate, i realized i dont need coilovers for the street. Ill be matchin those with group N tops eventually. In the spring Im puttin on the flatblack tarmac 1's and STi takeoff tires. I'm really excited to see how differently the car handles.

I got an estimate the other day from a friend of the familys and hes gonna repaint both bumpers, side skirts and fix a really bad dent on the roof/a-pillar for around 600. So when the spring comes and all the stuf is fixed and actually nice to lookout ill do a photoshoot.

thanks for looking so far. Ill try updating as much as I can.

 

Dice,

Good decision with the suspension! Unless you autocross/track your car at least 3-4X a year. Spring/Strut combo is fine. I had Cusco Zero 2R's and it was way to much as a daily driver. Now I have AGX/Prodrives and RSB, endlinks, and I'm much happier, and it is still a blast out on the track!


What's the name of that gauge pod again? I like that look it look factory clean!

 

Its the autometer duel bezel pod. It fits really nice and doesnt attract attention. I'm still looking for the strut combo. I had a guy that was gonna sell them to me for a really good price but my car sucks and i had a little mishap. I think right now, I'm going to swap out the s-techs for the gf210's I have now and get an AP for the time being. Hopefully by the end of march I'll have the bumpers, sideskirts repainted and all the dings and dents fixed Right now I really want tints, a front sway bar and the AP.

Oh, and I didnt install the stock gutted u/p. I got a kingpin used u/p for really cheap and installed that instead and I'm really happy with it. I just cant wait for the spring so I can put on the re070's and black tarmacs!!!

 

Hey man...which Silverstar turn signal bulbs did you get?

I've been looking for the ones for out turn signals but have only found the dual filament ones. Did you use those or did you find the single filament ones somewhere?

 

I just went to a local autozone and picked up some turn signal bulbs. I think they were 1156's.
Heres a close up and a straight on shot of the headlight and silverstar bulb.





they just popped in right in place of the stock bulb.

 

update...It looks like while im away for spring break my cars gonna get a lot of body and paint work done I picked up some front pioneer door speakers and am gonna get the read door speakers and pick up a 4 channel amp. I also got kind of a hand me down navi system haha. My father used to have a ford f-150 and had a pioneer lcd screen with dvd and navi under the seat but recently upgraded to a new flipout touchscreen with traffic and all taht good stuff. So since it was sitting in his bedroom for 2 months he gave it to me. Once i get that put in ill post some pics. And It looks like im getting an Acessport this weekend!!

 

oo yeah i painted my front strut bar end plate thingys flat black and it made the engine bay look much cleaner and less cluttered. Will post pic when i get a chance.

 

Ok, I got an AP today and this thing is really cool. I went right to stage 2 and the car just pulls so much harder in every gear now. before I knew it i was going well over 100 in fifth gear and didnt even mean to lol. I used to consider the car quick and i think its safe to say its now a fast car
