haha, i just googled a conversion from the 220Kpa and assumed it was what the boost was.. Lol ;p

has your GC8 got the normal motor in it? mine has the EJ20 which holds compression well so i could probably get the psi up to around 19?

Should've probably updated this a while ago but meh, here we are

Got my hands on a gauge pod from Sydney and had S Techinic put them in. definitely an upgrade from what was in there before!

Before:

Cracked headpiece with some black magazine thing and a "Trust" sticker. Please be aware this is how i purchased the car!

After:

night - lit up.


daytime - lights off.

overall looks a hell of a lot better!

Is there some sort of post limit before you can post pictures in [IMG] tags, or a certain kind of filetype? i've tried .jpg and .png :/

updating dead thread with updates once again

Got a set of 02 Rims from Slugwrx thanks mate, look great on:



aaaand my GC8 STi tail lights arrived!



All that's left is a full respray & getting a motor trimmer to redo bits of the interior that'll be coming in the next few months and STi fog light covers, then i'll be "finished".. but we all know cars are never finished

Looking good mate. Good to see the rims are going to good use since they sat in my shed for about a year.

I just read through your whole build thread Trent. Good to see your happy with the car now after such a rough start. Loving the new STI tail lights. That's the next exterior mod I'll be doing to my GC too. Might see you out on a cruise or at the track sometime.
