New Stoppers
Pics Are here...
After close to 500kms on the pads, they are quite good. initial bite isnt there as much as it used to be but once you apply some pressure the thing stops on its friggin nose.
Big Thanks To GSL Rallysport & My old man for letting me borrow the garage for the arvo!Posted 14-10-2010 at 05:51 PM by Master D

Its amazing how much you can save on the purchase price of items when it doesn't come with a Subaru logo on the box.
Also nice upgrades and pic's still aren't uploading

I went the same combo on my piggy. Same opinion, night and day with OEM, just a heck of a lot cheaper.Posted 06-10-2010 at 03:52 PM by Shodown

The Story So Far.....
***UPDATE***
So the tuning arvo was a heap of fun. The tyres are awesome.
I had a great time on the friday. So bad news i have well and truely cooked the front rotors. After some hot laps around the big circuit they got really hot - eg rotors were blue hot. So Its time for some new rotors and some better pads. Oh yeah and just for giggles i stripped the back of the car out just to see what bigger/smaller difference it made. I think it definatly helped things not having all the extras in the back but fun anyways.Posted 19-08-2010 at 10:31 AM by Master D

Regarding not getting the right rates from the bank and having to get back into your RS, just means it gives you more time to hone your skills till you're ready for some STil'nPosted 18-07-2010 at 10:13 PM by mARC

Good to see you are enjoying the car & not rushing into things, silly question but isn't it an RX? Or is that just the Liberty upgrade.Posted 17-07-2010 at 12:37 PM by Pimpreza

The Story So Far.....
cheers jamie. yeah, i made the mistake of taking a couple of sti's for test drives a month back.
VERY ADDICTIVE!
so needless to say im hooked. its the first car ive driven that's properly impressed me...
about a year back i was looking into XR6 Turbos.. took a couple for a drive. they were quick but didn't have the "in the pants" kinda feeling i was hoping for.
after 1 drive of an 02/03 sti, i found what i was looking for.
unfortunatly i couldnt justify the money asked and the bank was hitting me with a stupid interest rate so i jumped back in the rs and drove away. not quite as fast but hey im still enjoying the abilities of the car.
ah well.Posted 15-07-2010 at 04:47 PM by Master D

Nice write up Dave, getting out there and giving it a crack is the ultimate reward of owning these cars. Keep at it. when you get around to upgrading, you'll be STimulating the senses even morePosted 14-07-2010 at 01:34 PM by EXPLICIT

if you are keeping up with STI's thru the twisties then they aren't driving hard enough!! :P
Serious hat time... Nice work Dave. I loved my 06 NA when I had it... it was still all the joys of owning a subaru without the boost and the higher insurance premiums.
I know you'll get into an STI soon enough.. Look forward to hearing about it.Posted 14-07-2010 at 01:07 PM by ImPreSiV

My Trusty Steed
My advice?
Don't waste your money.. its not a WRX and never will be, and as fun as you might think it is, spending any more on it than general maintenance and repairs is truly flushing your money down the shitter.
Get that WRX and enjoy double the power, stock.Posted 12-01-2010 at 10:51 AM by BALISTC
