Got rid of the Rear subframe lock down kit. Not needed as the STI rear subframe already has solid metal mounts. Also got rid of the china boost gauge and AFR gauge in favour of one glowshift 60mm electronic boost gauge.
Also, those STI pilo ball bushed rear arms are one of the best handling mods I have ever done. Rear end is no longer skittish and vague. Now the whole car is more responsive and controllable. Yet, even with pilo bearings and spherical links, it makes no more NVH than before. HIGHLY recommend this mod.

I finally washed my car and did my best to cut and polish the fading and flaking paintwork. Unfortunately, you can only do so much with a turd. This is the best it will ever look until I get a full respray.
