October 17, 20169 yr Blacked out the grille, had BfGoodrich G-Force Comps mounted and balanced, got an alignment done, changed the oil (Valvoline), blacked out the center caps, detailed the inside, got $4 in loose change out from underneath the boot, installed new running lights and led interior light, and threw a spectre air intake filter in. Yesterday and today were very productive days for me👍
October 19, 20169 yr Measuring for hoses and copex since my awkward car doesn't have a kit strange how coming out to sort a scratch led to this instead

October 19, 20169 yr thanks had a look but it looks a bit different. found a samco radiator hose for the wrx hatch, might send them an email think itll be closest or ill try bending my own. slight differences in thicknesses in pretty much every different pipe on the car, awkward sods designed this haha
October 21, 20169 yr yeah I thought the same! Need to get mine on the rollers though, its running full STI mods with 1.5 bar of boost. There is a car for sale with exact same spec on facebook, even down to the turbosmart dump valve. He is running 1.5 bar and has rolling road printouts for 353 bhp at a dyno dynamics RR. I am guessing mine could be anywhere between 300-350.
October 21, 20169 yr what turbo you got mate, vf35? they normally run 330-350ish think m3 are alot heavier tho
October 21, 20169 yr @Chrisg1989 looks like you've made your mark on it , nice work [emoji106] As for me I'm off for a long weekend with the family . was quite surprised how easily my classic boot swollowed up the cases and had no complaints from the 3 teenagers in the back seats [emoji41] Will admit 14 miles and the first slip lane into the journey. ... sudden loss of power , engine stalled [emoji15] Mrs said my face looked like "someone had sucked the jam outta my doughnut "[emoji22] [emoji51] Turns out the Extra load , 5 th gear pull and 1.68 bar of boost was too much and I popped a boost hose off [emoji23] 5 mins with a spanner and we were back on the road [emoji6]
October 21, 20169 yr Yeah my ar5e was twitching like a rabbit's nose [emoji23] . Seeing as I drive a 22yr old car I've always got a selection of tools n parts in the boot [emoji39]
October 21, 20169 yr yup when I was doing a lot of miles I always had tool box in back - Came in very useful on a few occasions, seized calipers and such like
October 22, 20169 yr Winters are on.... Before: After: Wasn't sure how I'd feel about the silver wheels, but they don't offend me [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

October 22, 20169 yr I don't know which way I'd go tbh. With the grills and splitter it suits the black but colour coded would look good too.
October 22, 20169 yr I think I would colour code - but you are in a good position as they do go with the grill so you could hold off and see which way you want to go
