It's nice, but will never be a B4 :P Jk this thing is awesome. Loving the wheel and brembo combo, I was seriously going to do the same in the near future. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing some more photos/specs soon :)

Just kicks B4s instead!




Matt, I am VERY jealous.
Looks awesome. If it drives like it looks, it must be quite a machine.

Well done.

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

I know,i know...............its soooooo much better than a B4 now except not as much leather :sarcastic:

honestly never driven a tt b4 so dont know? But id say so lol....gets over 60kph in 1st gear which is very nice ;)

its really surprising at how much better it handles now?!! Al put all new bushes and a smaller OEM swaybar (he told me what it was off but i forgot lol) in the front end which completely removed all the understeer,dialed in some more camber on the ALK and then with the alloy arms....you just throw it around now and it laps it up

looks awesome Matt, great work done on it.

As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;
 
"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"

I should just convert to single, right?

Cheers mate,Al's really outdone himself this time :)


So i fitted a stock intake scoop into the gaurd today and replaced the previously broken pulley cover to complete that stock Sti engine bay look,also gave the engine bay a good wipe down to clean it up a bit....grinning from ear to ear the whole time
just gotta wire the stereo back in tomorrow as a completely new dash loom was fitted to run the blackout dash

then its off to the engineers on tuesday to be legalized and stuff....hopefully it dont take too long as i want to get it home and blue slipped so i can drive it more lol

unfortunantly no more pics atm,its filthy so ill clean it after the engineer and upload some for yous all

peace out :drinks:

Few drinks for the guys taking the early redundancy.


Aren't 05+ Sti wheels 5x114 pcd?

There's 18" pignose STI copy rims on eBay available in gold and charcoal, pretty sure they clear brembo's.

ROTA wheels aren't cool. Especially if they're replicas of OEM wheels in the wrong offset!

nothing wrong with rota's. that offset won't fit on a liberty though. i've squeezed in 235's with 8.5" wheel and +44 offset on mine

BTW that is one heavily modified RX. good on you good to see guys who picks all the right mods :)

Looking good.

Thanks Alex :) its an absolute blast to drive now

yeah i tend to agree,they look the goods but OEM is where its at.....some other rota shapes are nice though ;)
