Vimmy Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Hi Guys, whilst I was not having lots of fun being at the outloaws today, instead of the Japfest event, I thought I'd sit there and compile what would be a short list of mods and upgrades made to the car over the last few years. It took my by surprise as to how much has been done since I got the car in a virginal state in 2006. I have entered the list, so far, below: Drivetrain Graham Goode STI organic clutch Rota Tarmac 17inch Alloy Wheels Goodyear Eagle F1 215/40Z R17 Tyres Whiteline 22mm Adjustable Rear Anti Roll Bar Whiteline Rear Droplinks BC Racing Adjustable Top Mount Coilovers with Adjustable Bound/Rebound Control Rear Suspension Camber Bolt Breaking System Upgraded 4Pot front painted Calipers 80 Groove 294mm front Discs Redstuff Ceramic front Pads 80 Groove 266mm rear Discs Redstuff Ceramic rear Discs HEL front and rear braided hoses Front upper strut brace Rear upper strut brace Breathing - In Drift Blue Cylindrical Filter Foglight fed cold air feed MAF delete Silicone filter intake hose Autobahn88 FMIC Bonnet scoop delete Bonnet reverse vent Breathing - Out Grouppe S exhaust manifold and solid uppipe Afterburner Vortex angled 4.5inch tailpipe backBox Afterburner Decat 3inch downpipe Subaru P1 centre section Turbo cover delete Turbo blanket Forge Twin Piston BOV Electrical Simtec ECU with AntiLag, Launch Control & 2 switchable maps Digital Air Fuel Ratio display External Air Temp display Bright Switch delete Voltage gauge Headlight Level Switch move Wing Mirror Switch move DAB Radio install Lighting Rear driving light LED replacement Crystal Side Repeater replacement Side Repeater Silvatec bulb replacement Crystal Front Indicator replacement Front Indicator Silvatec bulb replacement Crystal Headlight replacement HID Headlight bulb replacement Fog light delete Bodywork - External bling JDM Painted Moulded SplashGuards Fitted rubber mudflaps Painted side skirts Painted rear bumper spats Painted wing mirrors Go faster 'SIDC named' rear passenger window sticker Go faster 'Flat4' rear side window sticker Electric folding wing mirrors STI Radiator grill replacement FMIC Mesh grill covering Twin horn replacement Internal bling Momo Tuner steering wheel Triple gauge A-pillar pod Triple gauge Dash pod Tinted(pimped) Limo Black windows Windscreen sunstrip in Limo Black Scoobyworld blue carpet mat set with drivers heel plate Sparco Pedal set Engine/Engine Warlbro 255l/h fuel pump Earth cable install Air filter heat shroud Air box removal Oil Pressure Sensor & gauge with holding bracket Oil Temp Sensor & gauge Boost pressure gauge Radiator coolant sensor % gauge Exhaust temp sensor & gauge Carbon Canister removal ECU / FMIC Air temp sensor Radiator top panel Radiator side panels Bonnet strut replacement Atmos Pressure Solenoid bracket fix Ongoing Cooling Mods Carl Davey Coolant Tank spacers Coolant tank pipe replacement Coolant tank pipe rerouting Power steering pipe heatwrapped Heater matrix pipe heatwrapped Turbo Intake pipe to IACV piping heatwrapped Throttlebody coolant pipe bypassed Throttlebody heat insulator jacket Air filter heat shroud heat insulated Future Mods - in progress Windscreen wash bottle quick release switch install Windscreen wash pipe equalisation Switchable air intake temp probe/diaplay Catch Can install Carbon Canister partial reinstall Replacement Intake manifold with 440cc Injectors and AB88 Turbo inlet pipe, to be painted, have fuel pipes heat wrapped and fitted with new gasket type Carl Davey manifold spacers.

It's only when I open the bonnet i realise whats been done since I've had it. Please dont see this as me bigging myself up, that isn't like me but more of a feeling of total shock at the ammount achieved so far, not to mention money and hours epent However there still more tinkering to do to the wee car yet Cheers, Col Edited May 14, 2011 by Vimmy
Vimmy Posted May 15, 2011 Author Posted May 15, 2011 Hehe thanks yes, it's only now reading it back again I appreciate how much I've written down. I didnt think I wrote that much, I was a bit delerious with back pain tabs and was a bit of a blur I'm going to have to start on another car when these mods are done
