2.0GT spec.B from UK... with more mods ;)

That's a mean looking front end with the new grille
Wheels look great too!
Not a huge fan on the diffuser. iMO needs to completely replace the existing, looks too "slapped on".

Car lift is at work - used to work night shift...

Diffuser is just held on by tie wraps in the photos just to get an idea of what it looks like and tie wraps photoshoped out . Thinking of doing the whole lower section around the tailpipes with carbon wrap and then diffuser on top...

Quick photoshop...


Trying some badges on the grille...

Got a set of Brembos waiting to go on now...

The setup looks tight, love the front bar

Just need some tyres to go on them now... Planning on Yoko AD08R 225/45/18s

I'm loving the look of the new wheels and you will love the tyres....they have hard sidewalls so be prepared to soften your dampers a little.

Looking forward to pics of them on your car.

Thanks bud

Picked up wheels BNIB from Chesterfield about 100 miles away - over a great road, the snake pass, just before Christmas...





Did the Poorboys wheel sealant as advised...



Got the Yoko AD08R tyres ordered from Camskill a local internet tyre specialist...

Got them delivered to Granvilles - very helpful local garage - who were able to fit them for me on Friday afternoon - I said to the fitter - get them perfect and there is a tenner in it for you ...









Well pleased...

Looking good, I would go black wheel nuts n tyre valve cap myself.

How are the tyres? A revelation I'll guess

Haven't had a chance to 'test them properly' yet... there is a bit of rubbing along our horribly potholed streets!

Will have to raise the car a little or roll the arches or something. - The wheels are ET 48 whereas the previous 'full size' ones I had were ET 55 - so I guess that's the difference. I wanted the 225/45/18s - but maybe the standard 215/45/18s might have cleared - as it happened they were about £40 each dearer anyway!

AD08R's have a wider than expected contact patch, just roll guards n arches and go up a touch, set dampers softer and enjoy!

Another mod - I have been looking for these for a long time...

Got round to doing drivers side STi seat and raising suspension by 10mm up front - and even gave her a wash - a few dry hours available this weekend
