Yeah thats ok,as ams said...it comes up in every thread now haha

I like the BF xr6 turbo's they go hard!! soo much torque! especially with a few minor mods


It does come up in a few threads, but that's probably because the cars are actually worth talking about as they are no longer the horrile pieces of crap that they once were.
Bloody oath the XRT's go! The FG's are even quicker again. I've got my eyes on an FG G6E Turbo at the moment. Thinking about going to drive it this afternoon.


Its definately note purple! Its a nice blue, with tinted windows or at night you would think its black


It's a pity that they did it in the blue though. Compared to the RSK seats, they look pretty sleazy!

Hi guys, Some of you havnt seen or heard from me in a while as ive been a bit chaotic with shift work and no internet, but the upside is ive now a bit of money for the car :) The decision over getting a new car or converting mine was a difficult one....but I've bit the bullet and have finally decided that I'm going to convert my lib,I was gonna just get a B4 and swap all my good bits over,but the pain of the twins.....meh I've decided that a complete jdm version 8 wrx Sti engine/driveline/brakes conversion by AMauto,and a suspension overhaul is on the cards ;)  I've been in talks with Al @ Miles over the past month or two with probably highly irritating questions about what I need to get and if they can source a frontcut for the conversion. I have to say I have nothing to say but good things about these blokes they have helped me out no end.  This is an ever growing list of bits I've got sitting around ready for the conversion  BRAKES DBA 4000 slotted Brake rotors Ferodo ds2500 brake pads V-sport rear dogbone adaptors Goodridge braided brake lines  SUSPENSION & WHEELS Tein Flex Type coilovers with EDFC  MY04 wrx Sti 17" rims (satin black)  Toyo proxes T1R GC8 Sti Alloy front control arms W/line ROCK bushes   GC8 oem Sti front swaybar endlinks    Superpro front control arm pivot bushes Superpro Steering rack bushes  Superpro Rear lower control arms bushes  Superpro Rear trailing arm front bushes  Superpro Rear trailing arm rear bushes  Eibach 14mm Front camber bolts Whiteline Rear control arm camber bushes OTHER STUFF Garrett turbo beanie (black)  B4 "blackout" defi style dash and loom  AVO silocone intake pipe (black) Samco silicone turbo to top mount pipes (black)  B4 bonnet (if it ever gets here :() There's more stuff on my list but this is just what i've actually got atm So hopefully soon I'll have me some twin scroll tarbo power! :D Matt

Alright a bit of an update, I got my new teins yesterday and will be getting them installed tommorow along with all my rear end and steering rack bushes,though I'm going to leave the EDFC kit out till the conversion.I've gotta say the teins are of fantastic build quality,and the sticker set they gave me was huge :) Al has sourced me a frontcut, a 61,000km jdm 04 v8 wrx Sti with rear end damage and only minor mods,it was being cut up and packed last week so hopefully it'll land in a month or so I've also decided to purchase a DCCDpro controller to control the 6 speed as this seems like my best option,so another thing to add to my list lol oh and i still don't have a bonnet :( the first one the couriers stacked pallets on top of and flattened?? and now a second one is on it's way,the only benifit being the new one is silver Matt
