[Matt]

Thanks for everything Al!!!!! your a deadset champion!! i was wondering how i was gonna get some photos up sorry ya had to miss jamboree again mate you got me just as i was putting my arms down or up?? hahahahahaha,looks a bit odd?? oh well were only looking at the car....aren't we??? As yous can see....its complete and its a machine!! there were some headaches along the way (damn hoist lol ) but nothin that Al couldnt take care of ive only driven it an hour down the highway as im waiting to get it all engineered but jebus christ ya hit 3 grand and its a frickin rocket from there on up.. it scared the shit out of my dad when i took him for a quick blat lol i havnt pushed it (much) yet as honestly its a bit scary and i wanna get used to it....taken it to around 7000rpm so far,hits around 20psi roughly depending on the situation,(which is fairly nice) and a min of bout 16psi on full song the 6 speed is such a nice box theres power available near instantly in every gear,overtaking in 6th is so easy which is nice on the highway as a bonus i met one of Als mates Kris who i offloaded some parts too,and who i aquired a rare jdm rs30 3D meshed front grill off which i have never,ever seen before and a few extra bits that i was missing (pulley cover,intake scoop etc) Ill get some photos up asap of the rest of Al's handy work,but for now i need to go rest my face as i havnt stopped smiling all day hahahaha

[bobbyjimmy]

Double post crap.

[bobbyjimmy]

Where's the picture of the busted ass door?... Or is that why your standing in front of it to hide it haha And you need to lower it more too. Kris - sku81 or whatever name he uses? He seems to always get good stuff.

haha shhh no ones supposed to know about that...honestly though Al had that fixed the next day.....twas just a flesh wound

Yep yep it was around 10-15mm lower (rear almost on the bump stops as we found out,wont be a problem when we cut them down a bit haha) but ive had it raised to cruise through engineering and the blue slip....but its so much more comfortable at this height so ill see how we go.
Central Coast roads arent exactly the kindest roads to drive with jap teins

Yeah kris's garage is like a goldmine...i was like can i have that and that and that and the....oh and want that for sure lol

Also i got your gearbox mount etc look....big bastard it is......ya may wanna talk to Al as a few things he noted that required changing to properly drop the OBK were different from what alot of people think....ya may already know all this though but just giving ya a heads up

oh and Al if your listening the cruise control still works a treat

[bobbyjimmy]

The dent is between you, me, Al and Miles no one else can see this right?!? You can get the Liberty T.B STi rear bump stops in the rear, they are pretty small compared to standard ones and bolt/screw in. PM me if you want me to get a "good" price. I've got all the stuff to de-lift it (except that g/box crossmember) - rear crossmember "stoppers", steering linkage (that's already in the car with a Bugeye STi rack), all shorter bolts and already swapped out the rear centre lateral links. P.S Your wheels look like mine too.

yeeeeess??? im sure thats the case

TB sti bump stops mmmmm??? how much a set? PM me a price...gotta look better (more legal) than cutting them down

well sounds like your on the ball Luke...sounds like a mission mate

are yours Sti rims??? in stealth spec satin black??

[bobbyjimmy]

I did have the OBK ones cut down to like 5mm, but every time the arm touched them, they'd make this loud ass bang and sounded like shit was going to fall apart. I'll get you a price on Monday and PM you. It might be a mission - I'll see if I can use a hoist and g/box jack at work, get it done in an hour or so - then take another hour re-setting the coilovers... Yep, same colour satin black. Some of the clear has started to go abit crap, but they do look good cleaned up. I might sell them later on (still interested Lance?) and get something in the 18" x 9" or 9.5" range - OBK flares will help with this.

Thatd be tops if you could do that Luke

Good choice....charcoal being equally as good

hhmmm hope my clear dont go all shite??

Dont sell.....whack on some semi slicks and bam!! track wheels ftmfw!!!!
thats my plan....with some 06/07 (i think) tb sti enkei like Alex's for the street,the ones with the scalloped centre...as i feel these would be a highly original choice

9.5in jebus!! thats intense

[bobbyjimmy]

WTF is up with these double posts...

[bobbyjimmy]

Would like to keep them as track day specials, but eh - however many $$$ I get for them will go towards the new ones. It'll more than likely be 9" - 9.5" is just that bit too much... I've seen a few Gen IV's with 9.5", but a shit load of rolling, pulling and camber is needed.

[Matt]

WTF is up with these double posts...

hahaha i had a stint of double posts on the GT the other day....i didnt know what was going on

and why the hell cant we delete our own posts...tis a bit silly if ya ask me

[legacy rsk]
