Welcome to the forums!

Any pictures of the car with the new wheels?

Glad to hear you're happy with your decision of purchasing a GEN4!

Hey Hamish, I'm Near the City, Just a little South West.

And Dropz, No pics yet as I only ordered the rims today from Tyrepower (Mile End)...
They'll be in sometime next week, once on the car I'll take some photo's to show you guys.

I actually got it from Sydney last weekend, long drive back, took 1.5 days (1500kms), so it's still on NSW plates...
Gotta change them within the next week... just having trouble deciding what plates to get...

Bit of a drive lol. I know a guy who did It alone in 1 day to get an s15 for his missus. Furthest I've gone is Melbourne for a car.

Nice! They look quite similar to my Ozracing Ultraleggera rims!

Got any more plans?

1. Fix/redo front windows tint (removed when I had it Inspected earlier this week, that was annoying)
2. Grill - Black mesh/honeycomb
3. De-Badge
4. Exhaust

These are things that will definetly be done, within the next week to few months

I might lower it and I'm flirting with the idea of putting a supercharger in it!

What sort of exhaust are you after?

I am too looking for one. At the moment caught on the TCP Auto exhaust. If so a SA group buy might bring prices down.

At the moment i'm looking at the XForce system for the H6
http://www.xforce.com.au/products.php?make=Subaru&model=64

But i'm open to suggestion... do you have an idea of the cost of the TCP setup?

I'm looking at an X-Force system too, with some Varex mufflers. Check out the exhausts section and there's a vid of a silver STI with an X-force mid pipe .....in my opinion one of the toughest sounding Sooby I've heard yet.

Just as nice as this one.

This is the TCP auto exhaust. Seems to have no drone or too loud at all which is exactly what I'm after compared to the Xforce. These are the prices he listed on the forum earlier.

Centre pipe $700
http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t91/ ... tyGen4.jpg
Mufflers $700
http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t91/ ... tyGen4.jpg
Dump pipe $750
http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t91/ ... Medium.jpg

Full Turbo back Exhaust - $1899 (Pretty $$$ but ill probably order the mufflers only and go custom as i Can't stand the Xforce and varex mufflers and tips)
