00' Rsti hotness

[Supraru]

One of my best friends that moved to Michigan to work for Pratt & Miller took some time to put together a mod list and some pictures of his car. He posted this on Rs25. He said it took him 3 hours to put together the list so might as well get some use out of it. There is a link to his album with more pictures after the pictures posted here.









For all who dont want to read what is done but just want to look, please just look at my album HERE!

there are way too many pics to display here in this thread.

Ok, so this is my first time posting pics of my car on here for the specific purpose of whoring it to see what you think about it. So many people were like “you ever post this on the forums?” Well now I am. Below is my where I am at now. Bare in mind I bought this car new in Feb 00’ and it has had COUNTLESS iterations of parts on it. I wont list previous mods, just current.

And before you ask, Kephos is a coating that is rust proof, and is only .0004”- .0007” thick. You can wrench on it, it is used in all forms of motorsport including F1.

Any mod labeled with brand *SP is something I made. It stands for Sonnen Product.
