My STi from then till now

Been on here a while now so thought it was about time I started a little project thread

Bought the car from a guy in Gateshead with a few mods including
; 18" Revolution Millennium, Perrin Spoiler Stiffi's, BC Racing Coilvers, Whiteline Anti-lift kit, Invidia G200 3" exhaust system with Titanium Tailpipe, Ported headers, AEM Cold Air Kit and a few other bits, also remapped to 351bhp
It looked like this

I then got bored of the look and put some sticky tyres on and painted the wheels

And went for a drive round Croft

Then decided I needed more girth so got myself some Work Emotions in 18x9.5

And added a carbon splitter which only lasted 10days or so, that's also the reason the front looks so high here

Also added carbon mirrors and eventually got my centre caps and wheel nuts

Then it got interesting - SC42

FMIC with fully DEI wrapped pipework

Turbo mocked up on fully wrapped GT 2 spec headers and up pipe

And new AEM intake, although I need to see if I can use the wing mounted one. And the bay needs a good tidy and wash

There are alot of other bits which have been that I don't have pictures of, but uprated fuel pump, clutch, waxoyl, MoT slips, tyres and brakes aren't too interesting to look at
And that bring us up to date. Getting remapped on the 28th of this month By Duncan Graham so should have some more updates then

Comments and criticisms welcome

Kev

Ill take it your mickys brother in law he was telling me about your car yesterday but couldn't explain much about it lol

looking good mate will go well too :-)

A very nice sti you have there

Looks really well mate !!

Looking good with some nice mods, what bhp you expecting with them mods then.

Looks nice bud, bet croft was interesting.
I am just sat waiting for Duncan to show up at half 10 to do me a remap so can't wait.

Have u used willy wonka golden tickets for the wrap lol

Bigclarky - Mick Donoghue I presume you mean!? Yeah I am

Steviedoo - Hoping for 420bhp but I'd be happy to break the 400mark

Byers - It was actually the golden tickets from The Crystal Maze

And thanks for the positive comments

Hahahahahaha class

New wheels suit the car really well also some nice mods and figures to look forward to

I he's mickys my bitch at work! Ask him lol

Thanks Locky

I'll ask him when I next see him, i'm sure he'll love being called your bitch haha

Wey aye I grief him on a daily basis lol

nice looking motor

Nice car mate looks really well especially with the work wheels

Thanks fellas

Looking good mate

I love the blob sti's, preferred yours with the black wheels to be honest but still very very nice

Thanks mate.

I wasn't keen on the black wheels tbh, thought they looked a bit lost

Lovely motor Kev.. Not too keen about the wrapped intercooler piping

But i must admit you have made a lot of other great modding choices and them white wheels look stunning bud
Are they as dirty now as mine are they are a fookin nightmare to keep clean and yours look like a right pain to clean too lol good luck

Nice blob

natski - The gold wrap is definitely a function over form choice, however, I like things to look right so I'll be having a tidy up of that and the rest of the engine bay when I get chance

Don't know about the wheels as I haven't seen the car in 3 months due to work, but they'll get a good cleaning when I get back. And thanks

stevep360 - Thanks mate

Well today wasn't as successful as I'd hoped. The car made 366.5bhp @ 1.2bar then it started to sound rough so Duncan aborted the session. He thinks there is a crack in the up pipe, which has been on the car a total of 150miles. Not too good!

Need to take it all apart this week then have another go on the 11th

Well as the car is out of action I took the opportunity to get a couple of things sorted
A couple of pics of it on the rolling road first though

So I decided to roll my front arches

Then changed my front bumper to allow more air to the intercooler
Before

Tomorrow it goes in to get it's issue looked for and hopefully sorted cheaply
