It's silver, rather than goldish.

Looks way better IMO.

Yeah, I think it will be a lot better after a tune
It's currently hitting around 9psi when I put my foot down. And about 18-20 in/hg vacuum.
Probably just getting used to the boost, love hearing the turbo spooling though. Wish the bov was a little louder. :)

Thanks mate. Such a good feeling, especially being involved in nearly the whole job... Rather than just paying someone else to do it.
And goes so good :)

I had a lot of plans when I first bought this 2 years ago, never really thought itd get to this though.
Better than I ever imagined an outback could be.

So damn smooth! Such a good ride...

Seriously considering getting a track licence and seeing what this thing has around the corners.

They're 316mm GT rotors on the fronts mate?
Not sure you can get much bigger without spending a mint

Haha yeah gt calipers with the Bendix ultimates are more than ok. I'm loving the stopping power on them.
Can't wait to get this thing on a track for some real fun.

Car looks awesome.

More pics when I detail the Posted Image out of it and take some proper pics ;)

I was told that Bendix had fixed the brake dust issue.... Apparently not.

Brake dust and white rims do not go together... :/




But they stop so freaking quick
