Picked up a Cusco brake cylinder stopper from Wayne on Saturday and finally got around to installing it.

Looks quite oem in the engine bay and didn't take too long to install it.

Will be interesting to see how it feels tomorrow.

JDM_STYLE 18-01-2011 09:49 PM

Looks good, glad we found out the Liberty ones fit and your install was fairly easy. :icon_thum

Data dots.

Well it looks like I'm one step closer to getting my last mod (or maybe second last :D) completed.

Can't wait to have this sitting on the car!

Also have the front lip sitting in the shed, waiting to get the front bumper repaired before that can go on :(

ALEX. 15-02-2011 06:43 PM

A boot lid!
Man I've always wanted to do that mod... heard so much about it but it takes balls to actually go and do it.
Well done, you're up there with Tino and Ramon in the crazy stakes!

Balls & blind faith! :cool:

ALEX. 15-02-2011 06:50 PM

;) But seriously. I know what you're trying to do - as you said when I was grabbing the GoPro - and it'll look sweet when it's done. Gonna be the nicest MY11 out there, if not already!

lad 15-02-2011 07:46 PM

So what happens here Tony - you gonna weld the 2 bootlids together for extra downforce right?

Soksta 15-02-2011 08:02 PM

Only the cool kids on the block are allowed to do that :cool:
I was thinking about hacking one into a vortex generator :rolleyes:

monkeee 15-02-2011 08:07 PM

mmm....bootlid

Looking good :thumbsup:

ok bold move and I am liking what I see but...this is not a trainwrex or wrxrw mod :D

Soksta 15-02-2011 09:46 PM

There is no way I could compete with Ramon or Tino, well I could, but that would involve a large sum of money that I don't have :P

I'll just settle for having a car that just sticks out a little bit from the crowd!

American Dave 15-02-2011 09:47 PM

hows the suspension and handling ?

Soksta 15-02-2011 09:49 PM

Very happy with it so far.
It could use a couple of small tweaks, but considering that it handles a lot better than stock and isn't too hard or uncomfortable, I can't really complain :D

American Dave 15-02-2011 09:51 PM

win

Jon911 16-02-2011 11:24 PM

looking good so far!

question, did you ever end up installing that grimmspeed bcs you bought?

Soksta 17-02-2011 05:41 AM

BCS didn't end up getting installed and has been sold :(

wrxr2d2 18-02-2011 06:17 PM

Hey Tony
I see they have just released carbon trunks visin racing I think.

The oem look wasn't too bad, but the one with the lip looks odd :(
Hopefully picking up and installing the boot this Friday, so fingers crossed that it looks as good as I have imagined :D

Adz 20-02-2011 11:01 PM

As per the spotted thread.. car still looks GLEAMING!! Great to see it being well kept.

Soksta 25-02-2011 05:32 PM

Picked up the boot & brake light today.
Must say that I'm quite happy with the look of the car :D

Big thanks to James for helping me get all of this sorted :cool:

The worst part of the installation was getting the rear parcel shelf out so that the brake light could get mounted.
Total time taken, a tad over 3 hours :(

American Dave 25-02-2011 05:40 PM

UUUMMMM nah think I liked the stock lip on the boot better :D

TROLLEY 25-02-2011 06:57 PM

I hope Dave is stirring.
I like it! Three thumbs up.

MY00GC8 25-02-2011 07:00 PM

Glad I could help, sorry I wasn't there today.
Hope everything is as you expected it to be!

monkeee 25-02-2011 07:13 PM

Nice

You know its begging for some 18's and nice offset under those guards now ;)

Your present is sitting with Luke, hopefully he doesn't open think about opening it :D

[QUOTE=xsv4rce;539625]You know its begging for some 18's and nice offset under those guards now ;)[/QUOTE]

Been keeping an eye on NASIOC, some people have been fitting 265's under the guards, it is tempting to look into :D

MY00GC8 25-02-2011 07:47 PM

haha nah he let me know that he had it. ill go pick it up sometime over the weekend
cheers

MattuZ 25-02-2011 08:15 PM

looks awesome man!

Dr_Rock 25-02-2011 09:39 PM

I think it makes the arse end look heaps better. Great mod Tony.
Anyone want to steal my Betty so I can get a Boris?

Just jokes I like the this mod very much Tony...18 x 10 et44 offset rims wrapped in 265's then drop it likes it hawt equals massive win in those fenders :D

JDM_STYLE 25-02-2011 09:56 PM

Yep definitely needs big rims and dumped now it doesn't have the rear lip, otherwise it looks like something missing.

SweLLy 25-02-2011 10:59 PM

needs more dumpage, looking good though.

American Dave 25-02-2011 11:06 PM

needsmoredumpage

ImPreSiV 25-02-2011 11:15 PM

yeah bombed. Agree with the dumpage!

wrxr2d2 26-02-2011 09:19 AM

Looks good Tony. Well done

Soksta 28-02-2011 07:49 AM

Don't think I could get any more dumpage out of that car without running into issues with scraping, especially once a front lip gets installed.
I would rather go for a set of 18" wheels to fill out the guards more, but this will have to wait a while :P

Soksta 06-04-2011 02:31 PM

Time for an update!

Norm is currently fabricating a nice new exhaust for the car, which should be getting fitted on Monday :D

Pics to follow.

American Dave 06-04-2011 03:04 PM

bout time and yes I like this and so will you...dak dak love sounds predicted

Master D 06-04-2011 03:07 PM

Yay!!

RUSSGT 06-04-2011 03:24 PM

Whens the tune then?

BTW last payment went through today!
