Agreed on all counts! Interested in tapping grease nipples as it's a possible upgrade for Bilstein shock bodies.
Did you also DIY the front LCA HL leveler tabs? If so pics plzzz

Simply outstanding suspension setup... Was the issue with the rear end: just too much AWESOME???

[Stu]

No the HL leveler tab I made was for the rear (trying to avoid pics of my quick and dirty metalwork ), there's no tab on the new Whiteline rear arms. Fronts are std SpecB alloy with the tab already there.

The major plus with all of this is that the family 2.5i wagon (affectionately known as "the beater") will soon inherit the full STI suspension including STI rear control arms Thinking of starting a profile page for it too soon

Here's a pic I snapped when you weren't looking

IMHO, those K2 Gear bonnet scoops really ruin the lines of the Gen4.

I wouldn't say "ruin" but yeah quite the no-missing-it bonnet scoop, dog poop in the middle of the carpet obvious

Yeah, I think the stock scoop on the lib is pretty tasteful as far as scoops go.
Personally I'm pretty keen to go front mount and scoop-less.

Stu - must say this was a very nice sounding liberty and love the overall look. The tinted tails sure make a difference

Great time at WP too.

[senator]

Totally missed this build thread…… solid results on the track.

Interesting colour scheme too.

[Rome_BRZ]

Honestly this thing sounded mental taking off at the start of each session! Was a real rocket too. Good to see this in the flesh yesterday

[Stu]

Awww schucks, thanks guys I always love showing off my baby and it was great to finally meet you guys and see your cars too.

I wasn't ever too sure about the green foggies since there's nothing else green on my car, but it's unique for the moment. So I'll be sticking with the mixed up theme for now.

But now I've done the 1/4 mile and Wakefield, it might be time to lose the stock vf46 turbo for something decent suggestions???
