Nice.

 

 

Fuel is all good now. Ha ha. It was taken on my way back from Wollongong yesterday afternoon. Cruise control was on! I am thankful for the travel as I went down to 12L/100 instead of 12.4L or 12.6L.

You get 12.4 with an auto? Cool.

 

 

Mine is currently on 14.4 but I usually don't display that screen as not many forks are given.

A few days delay, but here are a few photos of the STi rear trailing arms I managed to grab. They're not the best quality pics but I did what I could at the time with WD40 and dirt on my hands.

 

 

Things I have bought so far in order to get my car that much closer to being mechanically full-proof:

• LH front wheel bearing from a MY07 3.0R SpecB wagon (88,000 km old) - $72 including postage
• Whiteline lower control arm bushes - $125.90 including postage
• Full Bilstein suspension in near new condition (only 600 km old) - $547 including postage

 

 

Awesome prices for those parts Garry and your car is coming along nicely now time for some STI / Blitzen wheels

[Adam]

ERGH.

 

 

Needs less scissor jack!!!!!!

They are 'lateral links' too Garry.

That's another name for rear trailing arms bobbyjimmy? I didn't know that. You learn something new every day.

Yeah I do. It dropped down to 12L per 100 km yesterday night as well.

Haha, +1.

Thanks a lot man! I do agree and I'm so lucky to have grabbed them all in the time that I did. Making so much ground with everything which is fantastic. Don't worry, my savings are slowly going up for a new set of rims.

 

ERGH.

Buy me a new floor jack then. Smart ass.

[Adam]

If you ever get one, you will never go back

[Liberty]

Haha, I know I know. I'd have to see how much they're worth. The garage is a bit of a cyclone at the moment due to my parents fixing up the house and what not so I might give it a miss for now. At least until I've got my own specific section in there.

[Adam]

SORRY FOR THE TOPIC DERAIL!

[Liberty]

It's relevant. No apology required. Just say nice things about the car and my mods or else.

[Adam]

They look lovely

[Liberty]

Thanks man.

 

I tried. I still can't get over how much better the bushes are as opposed to the OEM ones to be honest. Such a good upgrade.

[Adam]

That's awesome!

[Liberty]

OK, now you're overdoing it. Haha.

 

Just kidding. I know you love my wagon. Trade?

[Adam]

LOL No way!

 

Maybe when Im like 40

[RX25SE]

LOL No way!

Yeah, cos like 40 is really old.

[Adam]

ANCIENT

Cleaning my car tomorrow in preparation for a nice Hooters meet. Suspension should be coming in some time this week as well, and I managed to purchase some Philips X-tremeVision for high beams.

 

I will update everyone once they've all come in and have been installed.
