quick update, i finished my intake (which i will do a write up on soon) and i finally finished fitting the exhaust today.

i have to admit, it was an easy to moderate job, but i had fun and learnt a few things while doing it.

i started on Saturday, but i was provided the wrong size bolts to connect the center pipe to the 3rd cat,
so i had to wait till today to go to bunnings and get the right size that i needed as my car wasn't road legal to drive.

Pictures and a crappy video to come... (ill get a better video up when i can )

Good stuff mate! Awesome plans.
Keen to see the finished product of the pod filer and a sound clip of the exhaust.

Thanks Serge it certainly is a big list of "things to do" haha
it was slow to start, but its finally been kicked into overdrive

[SH30RB]

i jumped the gun a little bit... i got too impatient.
started just before 9 this morning

Before:


During:


i've done about 4 or 5 coats of the black, and 3 or 4 of the clear coat.
i've only done 1 caliper so far, but i think the rest will be a little easier and quicker to do now that i have a little bit more of an idea of what im doing.

also got some "SUBARU" caliper stickers to go on too

EDIT: this friday i pick up my HID's and go see Ray @ART re tune this month is going to be a fun one

looking very good there mate, you got any pictures of your car from the side or front angled shots, I'm just trying to gather the ride height as I'm after some new springs thanks

How come you didn't remove the caliper to paint and apply the decal? Much easier to work with that way!

PS: moar tint

oh... i honestly didnt know how to remove the caliper (still dont) and i didnt want to stuff things up. Not just that, but my tool resources are quite low.
i think they turned out okay for my first time painting calipers

PS: moar tint

and yes, im heading in towards mebourne, and one of my stops there is a tint place across the road so i thought id go get a quote

A socket set and a rubber mallet is all you need. Undo two bolts. Easy as.
