Hi guys, just posting a few pics of my humble ride. Hope you enjoy them.

Cheers,
Pete

Ride: 08 Legacy GT (5AT) (25k kms)
Colour: Black on Black
Location: Singapore
Mods so far: 18X8 Wedsport SA70 rep CSCIII, STI brembos with DBA 4000 (gold) series CD/SL rotors, EL tomei extractors and up-pipe (no cat), BC adjustable coilovers (formally on tein and sti springs), STI lower lateral rear arm, cusco front brace & BS, 22mm front and rear Cusco sway bars, Perrin anti-lift kit, STI mufflers, boost solenoid, tuning, Greddy BOV, STI front grill, blade wipers, a GT badge from a Ford Mustang, Beatrush undertray, HKS roll centre adjusters, Prova Blue Mirrors, K&N drop in filter, modified down pipe, walbro fuel pump, front lip with wrong but unique sticker, Corazon Rear Lower Arm Bar, Zero/Sports Cool Action II Intercooler Splitter, white indicator lights, HKS Tie rod extenders, changed all my McIntosh speakers (to Alpine, and yes they aren't European but they sound a million times better), sound proofing, and upgraded the sub when it broke (8" Kicker) and installed another amp (Pioneer 3500T), 6000k D2S replacement bulbs, used 17inch rim that clears front brembos in the boot just in case I get a flat so I don't have to change 2 tyres.. I think that's it...

Plans: Waiting on some Advan RZ rims and B&M 70273 ATF SuperCooler to come in. Next big project is red stitching for the interior and maybe a dashboard leather re-wrap. For some reason, there are always more things to do ...

What else has happened so far: Got the knock of death where piston rings, conrod bearings etc broke 3,500 kilometres into the break in period, Subaru replaced all engine internals under warranty as my car was in the "faulty batch". Car after a couple of initial mods had a very harsh ride, I've gone now for more comfort setup.

My Little "Modified" Ford GT badge :)

Image
My little "life savers" with DBA gold rotors (326mm) and ferodo front pads. Rear are DBA discs (316mm) with Project Mu HD Kai 0-500*c pads. Had them on the front but were too noisy for everyday driving and there was a lot of brake dust every 2-3 days...

Image
The mufflers, you may notice the black carbon staining just above the mufflers...

Image
sorry too much effort to polish.

Image
A few suspension mods, STI, Cusco, "Pegan" Fabricated Anti Roll Bar rear Bracket

Rear Alpine Type-R SPR-17C, fronts are Alpine Type-R SPR-17S components only instead of the 4 speakers in each door, tweeter was taken out of the Alpine casing and installed in top stock location. All professionally done. Bang for buck the alpines were worth it. The morel's were very nice but over priced here, but each speaker had different characteristics for rock, pop etc...

Image
Rear replacement 8"Kicker Comp 07C84 8-Inch 4-Ohm Subwoofer

Image
Undershot. I got the top professionally (crap) sound proofed, but the sun/heat/black colour over here kills it...

Image
Pioneer GM-3500T needed to drive the sub, as McIntosh will not drive it. Just a cheap easy one unless I decide to change the whole audio set up... but more than adequate and much better than stock for now...

Image
White 6000k lights.

Image
Soundproofing is going... will replace soon with Dynamat from Amazon. Pricing locally here for sound proofing is ridiculous.

Thanks for the advice, will get a claybar soon :D
Will post a pic of the colour shots up when I get home later, but chrome coloured. Got it when I was in the states last year when I drove by a ford dealership.
It's the same is the link: http://image.motortrend.com/f/8495901+w786+ar1/112_0506_16z_2005_Ford_Mustang_GT_Convertible_GT_Badge.jpg

Looks very neat. :good:

I was going to say that is a FORD GT badge. Same as you will find on the current BF GT, Hamish. ;)
