They would only drive the brown one when the pink one is in for monthly maintenance.

Just like to point out that a the white facelifted STi wagon would have to be the best combo for the gen IV.

Cool, we should do a car swap and go for a lap. Then you can sus out if harder springs and damping is for you too.

Please PM me when fits ur schedule :)

Stiffened up the new swaybars and car feels a bit more lively around corners now. Looking at getting the roll/bump steer put in too to help with oversteer.

Loving the new turbo & setup, car can be driven smoothly & quietly as a daily with no fuss but when the foot goes down i get a nice noise from the exhaust & cobb intake and a nice turbo flutter sound on lift off. Going to see if I can get some paint happening in the week comming and maybe look at getting some new tyres after the track day.

After a drive, I can conclude, this car is excellent!

Exhaust is so quiet while cruising, then when on it there is a pleasant sporty note + cobb noise.
Very quiet when you are just plodding in traffic and good noise when you are not = winning :D

Less NHV than mine due to the softer STI spring rates and rubber top mounts too.

I feel that due to the stock internals and safe tune this turbo has pleeeenty more to give :wink:
Spools up quick, quicker than I thought it would, now having driven one with larger turbo I gots to get me one!

Thanks so so much Adam, although my wallet will be hating me later though!

Hey Adam, How are you enjoying the drive? Did you get the intercooler sorted out yet?

Decided to throw up a few pics of my car on the dyno today. Got it retuned after installing the TMIC and inlet and now runs like a dream, peak torque and boost come on even earlier now @ about 2400rpm. Very happy with results, passengers have to be warned to brace themselves on take off as 1st gear absolutely launches haha.

Very happy with the respray/paint job too :D

Sorry about the low quality pics but I should be getting some decent ones up soon.
