^^ride height looks perfect and practical imo. Still agree with fixing the rest of the tail lights though

Cheers Serbaru! Yeh 09betty, I'd love it lower an inch just for looks and to fill the arches but realistically it will just be a headache for me as a daily. It currently sits 15cm off the ground at the front lip and 14cm at the sides. I've already pulled a side skirt off on a speed hump and the lip already scrapes in some carparks and driveways that I use regularly. I actually like the incomplete/half done overlays but they will get fixed at some stage.

That is one shiny Dak...looks epic and just the right amount of tasteful mods. Surely contender for cleanest car on the forum for 2013..

Still not keen on the dangly bear under the exhaust but to each his own!

It's some devil doll from Thailand I think. A big key-ring that a friend bought for me as a gift because it reminded her of me apparently. It was the only practical use I could find for it

bumpage...

Over the past couple of days I have been looking at the Blouch Dominator 1.5XT-R turbo. After a conversation with Troy @ ProSpeed yesterday, it seems as though it won't really be suitable unfortunately due to the fact I'm just not going to be able to feed it the necessary psi to keep it happy. A TD05 will be better suited so it looks like I'll be grabbing one of these:

Subaru WRX/STi 18G-XT-R Turbocharger

All the usual retailers are out of stock and awaiting their orders currently. There is a secondhand one available on NASIOC, just waiting for a reply in regards to shipping to Australia.

Comparison with the VF52:



If I go with it, it'll get installed along with a silicone intake and the necessary adapter pipe a few days before the up-coming cruise.

Could order from RallySportDirect and get it here in a week. I can see myself waiting for local stock and having the cruise pass by in the mean time.
