KennySTi's Demon Wagon

That's good news! Yeah I have slotted fronts as well though I'm not sure if I need to skim the rotors or not.
Oh and J I will take you up on that one! Let me know when you are free this week, I'm working monday to friday sadly, though I do get busy on the car after the sun goes down.

Bit of an update, finally I have the bumpers all fixed up and re painted so the road to complete restoration is nearly at its end. Or so I thought...



Nice little present left by whoever was working on my car for the last week. Seems someone was a bit heavy handed!

[jslayz]

take it back!!

[Kekotic]

Sorry to hear.
Take it back, request a replacement at their expense.

[kennysti]

Well the panel beaters wont replace the lip but they will repair the damage so thats a plus I guess. In other news I have a set of the Valenti black smoked tails on the way to replace the yucky mars ones I had before as well as a few other nice additions. So now i'm just waiting for the delivery man for all my new toys!

Hoping to hear from the PHAT man about my gauge holder, though he hasn't replied to an email in nearly 2 months.. Come on east coast boys share a bit of PHAT our way

Glad to hear the panel beater is coming to the party with a fix.

Keen to see your tidied car.
Smoked leds will look sweet as on your Lib too

+1 for Valentis they are tops

[kennysti]

Yeah can't wait for them to get here! Sadly it takes like a month for them to be sent tho. Oh and newsflash! Valenti aren't making the black smoked tails for the lib anymore!

[jslayz]

haha, sux to be late to the party!

OK its been quiet for me on the modding front for a while. (Moving house does that to you!) but I managed to get my new colour matched mesh grille installed and my zerosports gauge pod. I also got myself an Apexi boost gauge (cheers Gambit!) and a nice new set of Valenti smoked tails to replace the crappy Mars ones.

So here's what I have been cooking up, the parts are organised and some are already in transit! (Really big thanks to Jacks GTB!!!)

Kobe Racing TMIC
PRS Sillicone Intake
Kinugawa TD05 18G 7cm
Grimmspeed 3 port boost solenoid
Deatschwerks 65c fuel pump

Build will probably start around mid to late June, gonna wait till I have all the parts and smash it out in about a week so it can go straight for a tune.
Would like to see 200kw but with the auto box we will just have to wait and see. It also still has to last, I dont plan on buying a new engine in the next 5 years! This is my first serious turbo build on my own car, we did one on a honda CR-X and had some awesome results but it wasnt a daily so we were more comfortable taking a few risks, I REALLY dont want to break my STi so if anyone has more advice (Jacks has been fantastic so far!) please offer what you can.

what's wrong with the mars tails?

[Maj3sticCr0w]

Nice work jacob! Will be interested to see how it all works out as Im doing some similar mods pretty soon too. Glad you got your boost guage mount sorted haha

what's wrong with the mars tails?

For the post facelift they dont fit properly. They had gaps all over the place some nearly 1cm! The finish was nice and they worked fine but not the best of fit. That might be the difference between the pre and post facelift cos I know a few on here have had no problem with the Mars lights on the pre facelift

haha me too! Id like to see how the auto trans is gonna cope particularly. I might not see massive dyno figures considering the slippage from the TC
