Hey Daniel, Glad to hear you got it all together ok. You may have to loosen and make a very slight adjustment (twist) to the adapter on the tail end of the dump pipe if you have an issue with a leak. I had a custom system which didn't need the adapter and I just slotted the adapter back onto the dump as straight as I could, without fitting it back up to the stock centre before passing it onto you. Maybe just detach the dump from the centre and double check that the flanges line up... if that all makes sense.

Glad you like the results! Cheers :D

When I have money :P Haven't looked into it yet, not sure if I'll go Willall or SnJ (ecutek), both are very popular, although I know a mechanic that works at SnJ so would like to go there...

Yeah thanks very happy with it, installing it was pretty easy, even on my own :) Did loosen up the adapter to rotate it and close the gap. It was leaking so I loosened up the flange and adapter again, bolted it all back up and it seems like it's all good now. :)

So, got bored of exam study. Toying with this idea. Thoughts?

Also entertained the idea of darker rims but not sure it beats the silver...

Yeah agree with you there, the gold just doesn't seem to suit the silver too well IMO. Played around with colours and I think the green goes with silver best, plus Brembos are supposed to be bright "HEY LOOK AT ME" colours... Not sure what colours will give the "luxury" look apart from black or silver.

Cheers, got two grille's to play around with, one will be mesh with an STI badge, the other will have black wings like the photoshop.

Here's blue?

Not hating it, if it was a V8 that could incinerate tyres I wouldn't think twice, but on a 4cyl looks a little too girly.

Between blue and purple, I'm definitely more a fan of the blue - what about a darker blue though?

(what colour decals are you having?)

Black grill; check. Darker wheels; check. Weirdo coloured calipers; derp! Those calipers might work well on a mardi gras float, but not on your Liberty.
Maybe endarken your rims, and do the calipers in silver with red decals.
Or you could leave it alone!
Kinda flush. Fitment is something. ADM as F*ck.

Yeah tried the darker blue, not a huge fan. Depends on the colour, whatever contrasts the best.

Yeah tried orange, figured if I was going to go a bright colour I preferred the green. :P

That's the backup plan, dark wheels with silver callipers, probably blue or black decals.

I still don't hate the green though :P Stands out with both coloured wheels which won't be repainted/repaired until I need new tyres, I prefer the silver wheels, otherwise the car really looks like it needs to be lowered :(

Agree, there's just a lot of 'dark' space under the guards with the darker rims (although it looks good), whereas at least the silver fills it out a little bit.

All I can say is, your photoshop thread is going to be a busy place if/when I get the GT-B - NO idea what colour/rims to go with with the Diamond Grey. I need to spend some serious time in the Gen4 wheels thread! :(

Keep the silver wheels and go black calipers with silver decals.
I got this plan. It's called 'Save Ass'. And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!
