Default RJ's STi

Ok it's about time I start my own driveway thread.

Here's how it all started:
Was talking to a mate at work about cars, and the conversation went to cars we would like to have...we then started browsing carsales looking at the car specs...came across this mint low kms unmodified 06/07 STI and immediately fell in love...next thing I know I left work early that day, was at the car yard that afternoon fighting off other offers they received, and 24hrs later car was sold! happy me!
Always wanted an STI, bucket list got a tick!

Now the mods:
At first I was bragging that I wasn't going to modify anything, and that I wouldn't let the mod bug get me, that all I was going to do was to get it handling a little better...a week later I got 22mm sways installed front and rear, car felt better...next came the Eibach Pro-Kit and the Cusco strut tower brace...
OMG this combo handles well...felt like a completely new car and sticks to the road and really responsive....this sway bar/springs/tower brace combo works a charm.

Current mods:
22mm Sway bars front and rear
Whiteline KLC 139 front endlinks - only fronts as OEM rears are steel ball joints already.
Cusco strut tower brace
P-Mu type HC+ brake pads --- Puts your face to the windscreen every time, really awesome brakes.

Next up is:
- Invidia N1 'Racing' Titanium Turbo Back System, yes its the complete racing version the one that is exceptionally loud
- GrimmSpeed EBCS 3 port
- DeatchWerks DW300+ fuel pump
- Tune with launch control hehe
This all goes in this week, will post the power reading once its all done.

No more mods planned in the near future... but next up will most likely be coilovers...or maybe convert to Ethanol compatible injectors once its more widely available, the fuel pump already is :-)

Will post some pictures up soon....needs a wash/polish/wax, waiting for better weather.

Have some older pictures in the intro thread but wasn't lowered yet.

Happy
