Nice car mate but whatever you do DO NOT change the wheel colour! Those are some rare wheels... I had one of two sets in the country in charcoal... They have a limited edition plaque on the wheel with a number... What numbers are yours?

Reason y i wanna reapint then is because imo gold doesnt really go well with silver. Also, planning to get custom step lips made which are 0.5" wider so wheels will be 18x8.5 +42 but short of funds atm so wont be happening anytime soon as i want to get coilovers first.
Serial numbers:
1980
1981
1985
1988

Did you have to use spacers to clear the brembos? They look great

Sat 18/8 installed HKS dump pipe and tcp centre/y pipe.
- found out hks dump i got was actually for a manual so had to reposition the bracket to fit the auto.
- tcp centre/ y pipe was a tad short so cut and extend it.

Today 25/8
Got the car tuned Matt today.
All I can say is WOW
Difference is night and day.
Car pulls much harder, DBW lag is non existent, gear changes are seemless & fuel economy is much improved.
Apparently my car was previously tuned by HPF and the maps were just sh*t.
Anyone looking for a tune KiDo tune by Matt is definately the way to go

thats a bit of work to fit up two parts that you would think should be fairly straight forwards! good news that you stuck it out!

Looks like Matt is top of the table for when i need a tune!

How good is the car after Matt's tuned it?!

Its like a totally different car.

Yeah the wasnt too hard to mod the dump just had to reposition the bracket.
However, matt told me the tcp pipe is actually designed for wrx. Apparently they supply an adapter for it but my mine was secondhand and didnt come with one.
Lucky got it done within a day because i had to fly out to nsw the day after and didnt get back until yesterday.
Made it just in time for a tune
