Gen 5 Build Thread

[pips06]

I have a strange feel that the Gen V wagon might be making its way onto my shopping list after see this.

How are you finding the H tech’s?

Nice work Ben.

Thanks mate. The H tech's are great, supposedly more comfortable than the S tech's (not that i've experienced the S tech's) and give a nice drop.

A couple of quick snaps after my latest mods. Hopefully some better pics to come.

Black on white is a bit played out these days (black on most colours actually) so decided to go for a cleaner look. Probably not going to be to everones taste, but after living with it for a few days im really happy with the colour change. There are also some black brembos hiding behind the front rims. Again, i considered a variety of colours for the calipers but wanted to keep it understated, im too old for the boy racer look.

There are a few other mods that i've done that are not visible in the pics, Halo's, STI strut brace, Prova Si dial, re-tune... nothing too exciting.

Oh, and also colour coded the mud flaps.

Also fixing a vacuum hose at 7.30 in the morning is always fun!!

I think I'm happy with how it looks for now. I have bought a rear apron but not sure whether I'm going to fit it at this point. Was also thinking about tinted tail lights.

I'm open to suggestions.

Next mod will probably be a dump pipe and re-tune. Though that will probably be closer to the end of the year.

Aside from the fact you generally get what you pay for, what makes you say go for a good quality one? Have you heard bad things about any brands in particular?

A few local brands I was investigating were XForce, Hitech and AVO.

havent heard anything bad about any particular brands (yet).....

you nailed my point with "you get what you pay for"........my thinking was around the better quality ones having good fitment, finish, and backed by good R&D

I've been really happy with my HKS DP (it did cost a bit more, but v happy with the outcome)

So brembo's have been painted in brembo red, just waiting for my decals to arrive before any pics.
