bonnet scoop looks farked imo jimmy what are you doing

[Jimmy S]

Hahah... Sorry Shano!... Should suit a bit better once its colour coded IMO!

Also currently in discussions with Troy regarding deciding between a Zage TD06 Turbo(cast wheel) and a Blouch TD06 Turbo(billet wheel)... $800 difference in price, so wondering if it's worth forking out the extra!!

no idea mate dont know much about turbos

Looking good Jimmy, I agree with the bonnet scoop....will look SO much better once it's the same colour as your car.

Off-topic, with coilovers how hard is it to change the ride height yourself?

[Jimmy S]

Sure Jim... forward me the $$s and I'll get both and do a back-to-back comparison!

I am leaning towards the Zage now, as Troy can give me great deal on it, and from the limited research I've done, the advantages to a billet wheel from a cast wheel are next to nothing... It would just be the difference in brand, and I don't think that its an $800 improvement from Zage to Blouch personally!

Kieren - height is pretty simple to adjust once coilovers are installed, just jack it up, remove the wheel and wind down the adjustable rings. Only issue is it will affect the alignment of the car, although minimal adjustments shouldn't make much difference!

[Jimmy S]

OK... Just ordered:



Zage TD06 20G --> http://www.zageturbo.com/pro/proshow.asp?y42j0cl=211
TMIC - ProSpeed new one... will have more info when it arrives!
Walbro fuel pump...

Will hope to have the car booked in late next month to have it all fitted and retuned before Allstar go on holiday for December!

Things.Just.Got.Interesting!

Very nice James

[Jimmy S]

Cheers Laurie!!

Fitted the coilovers today!!!

Before:



After:




Haven't done a lot of km's since fitting them, but I am getting some minor rubbing on big bumps both front and rear, but the guards are completely standard and at the height its at, it's pretty expected!

Will pop in to Tech 9 and get them rolled and then possibly drop the front even a touch more so that it sits at the same height as the rear(may have to bring the rear up a smidge so they match, but hopefully not!

The ride is mint from the short drive I've had, certainly noticably firmer than the Billies/TEIN's but by no means a harsh ride at all. Very pleased with them as expected, but will have to give them a good run before I can say for sure!

P.S - Laurie - whenever you wanna come grab the TEIN's, let me know! .. Although... I will have to work out how to get them off the TEIN's!?

[Hotwire]

Wheels are too sunk at that height
Really wish you had gone for wider 18s than powdercoating the OZs BUT its still a nice car

[Jimmy S]

Not quite sure what you mean there Lee, but here are a few more pics from today!... Guards are being rolled over the weekend! Looking forward to no scraping!





And for comparison... PREVIOUS HEIGHT vvv

[Devour]

Wow the car looks great Jimmy. Definitely looks more aggressive and it suits the vehicle. Well done

[Murch]

lookin' good.

Let me know if you want to sell the rota gravels......I think they're being wasted on the stock impreza!!.......and would look better on my silver GT Lib

[Jimmy S]

Hahah.. Yeah nah!
