TST Ruined My Life!
|
CarbonIS' STI finally has a magazine feature! Performance Auto & Sound Spring 2010!!
WRX STI on August 31, 2006. Factory Options included: Boost Gauge, STI Short Throw Shifter, Rubber Floor Mats, Auto-Dimming/Compass Rear View Mirror Here's a pic of it in all it's stock glory the night i got it And here's a pic a couple weeks later The first real mod was supposed to be my fender braces (which still aren't installed), but ended up being a Perrin Catless Downpipe and an HKS Carbon-Ti Exhaust. I loved the power gain and the sound...but soon enough I got the urge to mod some more, so I purchased a K&N Typhoon Intake and a Greddy Type-RS BOV. Both were decent mods...I enjoy shooting flames...but it just didn't feel right. I then decided to buy some rims for the spring, and in looking around, I found a group buy deal that I just couldn't pass on and purchased my 18x8.5 +45 Rays 57F in Time Attack. I waited to put them on the car until it was finally done snowing, and I knew that before I put them on, I was going to have to drop the car. I was debating for a while over going with springs or coilovers, and decided to not make the same mistake I made with the IS300 and just go with the coilovers in the first place. So, I placed an order with Ray at Turbo Teck Tuning (he gave me an AWESOME deal) for a set of Tein Flex coilovers. When I stopped by to pay Ray for the coilovers, he took me for a ride in his custom tuned STI. I was amazed at how much more torque and high end power he was getting out of the car, so I asked if he would tune my car. He agreed, and now the car is Stage 2, running at 18psi and it feels so much better. Much smoother acceleration and power. And, of course, it still shoots uber loud flames Here are a couple recent pics with the car dropped on the new rims. I should have some more pics shortly. Stay tuned for them and future mods Ok So I did the Type RA-R grill mod... I just really like this shot of the exhaust... (40% tint added Monday, 4/23/07) OK so comprehensive Mod List: Interior: JDM Red Hazard Button Bride Stradias in Hyper Red Gradation (2) Black Suede Doorcards Black Suede 02/03 Headliner Black STi Limited Carpet Works Bell Short Hub Works Bell Red Quick Release 2.0 Works Bell Original Steering Wheel Powdercoated STI Shifter Trim by LPC JDM STi Type RA-R Shift Knob ATI Gauge Pod Defi Imperial BF Amber Boost Gauge Defi Imperial BF Amber EGT Gauge Defi Imperial BF Amber Oil Pressure Gauge AEM Uego Wideband Autometer Gauge pod Painted Dash Trim Pioneer AVIC-D3 Exterior: Volk TE37 18x9.5 +22 in Titanium Gunmetal Nitto Invo 255/35/18 Volk Formula Floating Lugnuts Zero/Sports Front Bumper Zero/Sports Rear Bumper Zero/Sports Sideskirts Zero/Sports Roof Vane Zero/Sports CF Wing Garnish TrueChoice Bumper Quick Releases Autospeed STI License Plate Delete 04-05 Tail Light Swap JDM Tail Light Mod HKS Oil Filler Cap Hella SuperTones powdercoated Super Chrome by LPC Tein Bonnet Dampers Red Lined Impreza Badge JDM STi Radiator Cap x2 Mishimoto Temp Gauge Rad Cap Perrin Black Radiator Shroud JDM Subaru Rain Guards Painted Headlights by Vitale Collision Custom Red/Black STi Stickers by GraphicSTI 30% Tint by Ryan @ Shades of Gray Roll Call and All Vinyls by Auditor Clothing Performance: ATP GT3076R .82 a/r w/ polished compressor housing and powdercoated turbine housing TiAL 44mm EWG TiAL Q BOV Custom Downpipe by Area1320 Custom Up-pipe by Area1320 Tomei Expreme EL Headers Reverse Intake Manifold powdercoated Lollipop Kandy Red over Black Frost by LPC Grimmspeed 8mm Phenolic Spacers TGV Deletes powdercoated Super Chrome by LPC Custom Coolant Resevoir by Area1320 Dual Air/Oil Seperators P&L Braided SS Power Steering line P&L Braided SS AVCS lines Agency Power Top Feed Fuel Rails 820cc Top Feed Injectors Customer IC Piping by Area1320 NGK 1-Step-Colder Spark Plugs Valve Covers powdercoated Lollipop Kandy Red over Black Frost by LPC Honda Civic 51R Battery Custom Cat-Back Exhaust powdercoated Lollipop Kandy Red by LPC Customer Short Ram Intake Perrin Signature Series FMIC KartBoy Short Shifter KartBoy Shifter Bushings Suspension: Stance GR+ Pro Coilovers Front and Rear Camber Plates TIC Fender Braces Whiteline Steering Rack Bushings Perrin 25mm Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Perrin Front Endlinks Perrin Rear Endlinks HKS Kansai Strut Tower Brace DBA 4000XS Front Rotors DBA 4000XS Rear Rotors Powdercoated Stock Brembos Hawk HPS Brake Pads Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake Lines -3.0 Front Camber -3.1 Rear Camber Special thanks as always to: Liquid Powder Coats Area1320 Turbo Tek Tuning Auditor Clothing Stance-USA CVR Motorsports Vitale Collision Mishimoto
