I've only just got it, and it's my first subaru, so i'm still learning all the in's and out's.

So far the only mod I've done is a K&N cabin filter (VF2000) but i have more planned and will post some pics as i go.


Done

EDIT: done, grille chrome changed to black.

whiteline ball joints and tie rods (KCA313)
new rims (preferably black sti's).... 18"/19"?

.

fitted floor mats from https://www.fitmycar.com/au/
I wasn't sure if it was worth the money but these mats are great. Got the boot liner too. will post when have pics.

Boot liner is a good fit.


There is a small gap between the liner and the back of the seats, but it's a good place to keep a dry brolly.


Very happy with it.

grille time









found a few hidden broken pieces that needed plastic welding. here's one.


while i'm finishing the 'chromed' parts, here's what it would look like with them missing.


finished


much nicer

Rotated the tyres today... noticed the LCA bushings are cracked and almost done. so... looks like poly bushings will happen soon. question is, what else do i do while under there? Brake lines are getting on a bit too.

replace other bushings, upgrade end links, sway bars?

or do i go coilovers?
either KW V3 or HKS max IV GTSpec-A or Cusco Street Zero A AUS-Spec
not sure which one is best... i want more comfort than stock and more performance... hard to find reviews and comparisons to stock struts


hard to choose

Yeah do all the bushes. If you have +$2k for struts, get KW for sure.

yeah i think ill do all the bushes.

*does anyone know the stock thickness of the front and rear sway bars?

*I want the KW's really bad but are looking a bit expensive atm... The cusco's seem good but i've heard people say that they are a bit hard compared to stock?? not confirmed.

and for a little more than cusco's i can get hks. idk

Cusco Vs HKS

Time for a service

Did the sub upgrade. wasn't the easy straight swap i was hoping for*, but it's a more nicely rounded frequency curve, so sounds better. The speaker could handle more gain, but the balance seems good enough for now.

Got the eyelids today... not sure if i'll keep them. see how it looks.

came from Japan all nice and safe

lids look good. they came with double sided tape... while it's good quality tape, I'm not confident that it'll hold with all the fwy K's i do, so they'll have to stay off until i find a better way to secure them down. ...and then there's the whole "is it safe" issue regarding visibility of the indicators... but it does give the car a slightly more aggressive look.

I wish my headlight lenses were that clear

Also this thread should be in 'post your mods' :p

a bit of polish and a lot of elbow grease but they were in pretty good condition before.

oops, can the mods move it for me?

sorry

so there's questions I've been researching, and can't find definitive answers on. it's driving me nuts because i don't want to damage my engine.

hopefully someone knows a bit about this (thanks in advance)

1) I've got a K&N panel filter in, do i need to re-tune?
2) will a K&N filter destroy the turbo?


3) I've also got some avo mufflers on their way. If i put them on with the K&N filter, will i need a re-tune?
