So the STI is coming up for its 9 month birthday and I've come up with a list of mods I am thinking of doing over the next several months. These, of course, are all subject to Minister of War & Finance approval! My main goal for modding is for looks and sound, as I'm pretty happy with the performance, because a) it's awesome as stock & b) I'll never be able to get it to keep up with my other toy
Wouldn't mind getting rid of that body roll though
So here's my list, would appreciate comments:
Performance- Process West CAI - Already purchased from American Dave, yet to install.
- CBE - Thinking Invidia Q300, want to retain the quad exhaust tips.
- Tune - Does it really need it with these mods? Lots of people say yes, some people say no. Are the yessers just arse covering? I'm not bothered about getting that last 0.5kW out of it, but I don't want to Dak Dak BOOM it either
Suspension/Handling- Sway Bars - Was looking at 24/22 Whitelines + end links.
- Lowering Springs - Perrin Performance do a kit with H&R springs and 25/25 sway bars + end links. Seems good no?
- Steering - Perrin Super Steer.
- Wheels - Was thinking of following the pack and going for Rotas, but I do like the stock BBS wheels, just wish they stuck out a bit more. I know I'll get flamed, but I'm looking into the spacers option atm 15mm front 20mm rear. I'll get some engineering buddys to look into it a bit more though before deciding.
Body/Exterior- Front lip & side/rear lips - Recently seen the HT Auto version which looks very tidy indeed.
- Rally Armours - Already done.
Interior- Handbrake hack & iPhone integration - Already done.
- Kiwi Wifi + iMFD for all kinds of gauges on the iPhone - Purchased, just wait for it to arrive.
- Rear view camera and under seat sub - Waiting for pricing from Mao.
So that's about it for now. I'm sure there'll be more bits and pieces I'll want, like a flat bottomed steering wheel, but those would be 'nice to haves' as opposed to the list above which I consider 'must haves'.
