Default The slowest pig in Perth



Since it looks like I will be one of the very few original owners of a black pig here soon and have just set out on some suspension mods I thought it might be time for an update.

Performance
3in TBE ( MMS so think its a Butler )
AVO 450s turbo
Silicon intake
Perrin Equal Length Headers
Perrin Up Pipe
Lightweight Crank Pulley
Radiator Shroud
Fuel pump
Hyperflow Catch Can
DBA5000 Front rotors ( Gold Hats )
ECB Front Pads
Ecutek By Lane at Race Torque
235KW atw ( Mainline Roller Dyno )

Handling
Group 4 Coilovers
Whiteline Front Strut Brace
Perrin front & rear 22mm sway bars with stout mounts & end links
Perrin rear subframe lockdown kit
Perrin positive steering response system ( ALK )
Perrin Shifter Bushings
Wheel alignment by Wheels World

Tunes
Alpine IVA-W502E
HiTV Touch screen nav ( through head unit )
Bluetooth phone adapter ( through head unit )
Ipod Kit

Misc.
Hyperflow Fuel pick up anti surge can
Performance Creations Mudflaps
Prodrive Stainless Steel Grille Kit
Factory Style aftermarket front lip

So far lots of fun. Trip to Adelaide. Separate trip to Tassie ( That is well worth doing!!! ) & 59,000 km on the clock. Soon to be doing a few hill climbs and a no limits night or two when it cools down a bit.

Touch wood. No reliability problems at all. So far car has been bullet proof. Bet I just put the mokka on myself now!!! Still even on the original clutch which just astounds me with 70 odd passes at the plex and a best 60 foot of 1.655.

No. I like the fact that without crawling on the ground under the car there is nothing obviously not stock with it. Except for the exhaust which is still fairly quiet and what Impreza doesn't have an exhaust!!!

Nice Clean looking black Piggy.

Mud flaps FTW extra I'm sure you get an extra 5HP per mud flap.

Old pic but gave it a polish up today so all looking good again ( spend the next week getting all the bits I missed rubbing off ).

Lease has run out but decided to keep it for another 3 or 4 years hence the new toys

Would like something new but the big question is what do you go to. Anything the sane side of 100 Large will be a lot slower, Have all the electrical "Toys" I want in it and love the way it drives.

Anything else would be a disappointment after it.
