Jamie's 05 Sti
 

Figured I'd start a driveway thread to stop dragging up old posts. It's more a handy document/reminder of where i'm at with the car and where I need to go next but like i have found with others build threads it may be helpful to new people in the future.



I picked up a MY05 STI about a month back with a 126 000kms on the clock for a really decent price. The car needs a little tlc due to there being slim to nill service history.

[B][U]Future Plans: (In no order)[/U][/B]
1) [I][U]Service - Replacing diff/box oils etc etc[/U][/I] DONE
2) Resolve steering shutter - p/s pump & flush or susp components
3) Coilovers - STD/HSD/2nd hand quality
4) Strut braces/sway bars - Probably whiteline gear
5) Wheels - Rota's/Emotions will almost definately be black, or at the very least rather dark,.
6) Brakes - Looking at DBA's or project Mu's when my current rotors need replacing (Very soon)
7) Debadge rear - will leave the sti badge
8) Pillarless Grill - again will leave sti badge
9) Front lip - Unsure of style at this point
10) Return Bov to stock - Crush mod if necessary
11) Retune - Will most likely add UEL headers and up pipe at this point
12) Bigger Snail - TD-05?
13) Stereo - Addition of an amp and sub should render the standard speakers suffice.
14) Proceed to remove every dent scratch and stone chip from the car
15) Cover in plastic wrap and never park at the shops again

That's it for now, probably set a 6month timeline for all that stuff as im currently saving for a house deposit as well. Will post the progress if not for any one else's interest but my own.
