Hi my name is Arith, and I'm a grille-aholic ....

Body kits, seat covers, fluffy dice, and other non-performance mods.

Unfortunately I didn't have it on long enough to take any pics. :blush2:

Yeah, that's true. But grille-aholic sounds more dramatic than badge addict.

Haha. Are you referring to my various exhausts, suspension kits, wheels, etc? :pilot:

Umm, let's just say I could buy a mid-sized car with the money spent on mods so far.

I'm finding the STi badges give approx +10kw at the wheel. Otherwise if I try to fit on a GT-R badge, people tend to throw rocks at me.

Dyno won't be able to reflect the gains you will get on the street, from trying to get away from the rocks.

Unless the rocks were coming from front-on. Then yes, it would be negative, power loss

Hey Arith, does this number compound with more badges? I might have to place and order for 5 of them then! 8)

I don't see why not! I had a chat with my friend who's a professor of science fiction physics at Sydney University, and he recksons with enough badges and decals, the Liberyt can realistically achieve a speed of Warp 9. :crazy:

Jim, you should also consider painting your car pink. The ingredients of pink paint is proven in wind tunnels to achieve a better drag coefficient because it is smoother.

Try the wanted to buy section to begin with... :shok:

Because this thread is about Arith's badge and grille addiction...

Where is it at, at the moment Arith?

The last time I saw the picture it was silver badge in the middle, and then when I saw the car in person, it's back to the pink badge...

I think you're trying to please way too many people.. :blush2:

Hmm, yes. You should be one to talk. :glare:

However most of my changes have been due to the mood I was in. At the moment I'm in the mood for pink on the side! :tongue:
