Finally a real update ;)

Got the sti pinks installed today after three months of them sitting in my room, was a convenient time as it was due for the 112 500km service.
They had to pull the rear seat out to get the boot floor out so they could install the rears but I though that was a bit odd, can any tell me if they had to as well?

Anyway here's a dodgy phone pic because the dslr was flat and didn't feel like going anywhere to take good pictures

Cheers Kelvin, I wish I could claim responsibility for the tail light tint but I have one of the previous owners to thank for it ;)

Trust me to pick out the one thing you didn't do yourself! :lol:
That exhaust setup must sound good too, come to the next cruise so I can admire your car!

Cheers mate, it's a nice feeling knowing that's you're unlikely to see another one

Didn't do the exhaust either :lol:. It sounds great imo and had my first moment the other day where I thought that it sounded a like a Porsche. I'll be doing everything possible to be there for the next cruise :)

I guess a smart person would have known to check your Intro post! :lol:
Hope you're enjoying the pinks too, have to say I love the feel and ride height of mine.

Haha. Loving the pinks, the ride is not too firm and the body roll is reduced massively :) the ride height is the best part too
