Nice work with the exhaust + tune, enjoy!!

Im with you on not having an STI spoiler. I was tempted before to do that + debage the rear, now im pretty much settled on the stock spoiler.

Though, I do like the STI fog covers (logo's removed), splitters + front lip combo. Does looks schweet on the peanuts.

Tune is goooood!!

Also managed to install my Kartboy front and rear shift bushings this afternoon. Only took about half an hour once the car was on the stands. The rear was a cnut to get back in, but it soon gave up when I got the rubber gloves and lube out

Lathewerks Knob + Kartboy goodies = Gear changes filled with win!

Heck yes! Kartboy bushings ftw.

The standard WRX 5-speed is like a rowing a boat back and forth. Good if you want to get some extra cardio in for the day though.

OK, so I was really bored today, and did one final cosmetic mod to the car:

Before:

During:

After:

Zoomed out:


Looks rubbish with the orange indicator blubs, but wasn't able to source the chrome looking version. Also my passenger headlight has stopped working, so will investigate this tomorrow when daylight returns...hopefully I haven't melted anything..

Painted surrounds? Looks good! Can normally source the chrome globes from those UK websites. Some have free delivery too.

Yeah saw a few uk sites, hoping to source locally though. Went for a satin black engine paint which came out beautifully, very happy with it!

Love the look of the black-out head lights
