Poncha's MY06 STI
 

G'day guys n gals,

Thought I'd get around to a quick thread on my ride (finally managed to sneak in a quick photoshoot yesterday, with a nod to the aviation link :p).

Previous ride was a lightly modded MY99 RX Impreza, which served me very well, and nurtured my love for all things Subaru.

Stepped into the pig 4 months ago, and haven't looked back since :)
Stock as a rock apart from a Turbosmart BOV, and drilled/slotted front rotors.
She's more than enough car for me for now, but after hitting a tuning arvo, that pesky modding-bug might have bitten me ;)

Looking forward to a long and enjoyable relationship with the car.

Cheers,

Adrian

Very nice. There is no avoiding the mod bug no matter how hard you try.:D So what's your aviation connection?

Awesome mate, very neat.

I'll check it out when you come over this weekend for the CF Bonnet struts.

*Shameless plug! :D

Awesome pictures. They have come out really well.
Car looks really clean.
Hehehe, that damn bug. I don't know anyone it hasn't got.

Awsome pics mate... Keen on getting some pics taken in a hanger if possible, next to a plane..

Thanks guys, my mate does a pretty good job with the car photography.

Intake/exhaust/tune is def on the cards, for the next step for the car. Looking forward to the evolution of the car over time.

Aviation connection is just the pig-nose representing a plane's propeller ;)
