Bit of an update 

Spent yesterday with Cam, Mark and Ryan doing a few things on all our cars (bar cam's, this will be fixed soon  )

I had bought/ puchased off Cam's wreck the following: 

-Autometer mechanical 20psi 52mm boost gauge and SAAS cup
-Redline lightweight shockproof gearbox oil
-Pioneer DEX-X3550UI single DIn headunit and single DIN pocket with adapter harnesses
-What i thought would fit SF 22mm whitline rear swyabar setup (turns out they don't so anyone interested in an SG forester 22mm adjustable rear swaybar let me know)
-XT brakes with good rotors, QFM pads and some Bendix DOT 3 for a flush 
-Wrx vacuum setup and GFB Respons BOV (had this from my B4)
-AC idler pulley to replace noisy one on my car 
-New cv shaft to replace front right 
-STI pitch stop mount 

I also acquired some clear side indicators of a half cut 2 weekends ago at ichiban while i was down there with Mark and Cam cheers to Benny and Scott for that   .

Day went well bar the swaybar issue which im going to rectify with a SF specific bar and links already got mounts, thanks to the lads for helping out with it all, was a long day but well worth it.

Special thanks to Cam for helping me organise the CV and gearbox oil   and mark the boost gauge cup at a ridiculous price   

From here it will be fix up the swaybar issue, then a service and diff oil change around HVC and then its saving time for BC v1's, money to buy a cat and have the bits of exhaust i have accquired made up into 3" turbo back with my magnaflow muffler and TD04 with catless upipe, DW fuel pump, 3 port, SFB and a MSR or possibly JEM tune haven't decided out of those 2 yet but all this will take time on a uni student budget, have been lucky lately scoring a bit of work on weekends but that finished as off last weekend  

Enough of that here's some pictures from yesterday:




Smurf blood FTW such a smooth box now.z

 

Great bang for buck upgrade on SF's



Ipod>cd's



GFB are a great product awesome fitment and aussy made





Mechanical gauges are the best, ties in nicely with the stock cluster colour too 



Orange side indicators are poo these look 100 times better

Thats it for now

Awesome update mate. Glad to hear everything is running a lot smoother now. I do concur about the side indicator as well. It's funny how the smallest of things make a significant impact.

[mark300]

i hope your stereo is still working mate and will continue to for many years to come

 

good day!

[Matty_Lib]

Looks cool! Not sure if I like the position of the boost gauge but might be the angle of the photo. Keen for HVC

It's the photos. It's dead straight. 

[LPM_B4]

its straight its just the photo as cam said 

[Matty_Lib]

I was talking more about it being in front of the cluster, just looks odd to me. 

[Cam.]

I was skeptical about it at first. But having it left, It was in the way of the fuel. I had that in my gt foz and it drove me crazy.

And on the other side it was in front of the temp gauge, Nope.jpg.

It doesn't cover anything except for 220kph+ and 1000-2000rpm.

And not being above the dash, It's legal. Wins all round.

[FR34KO]

I was wondering if the fact that it does cover some of the instrument panel, that it might be illegal in some way.. Well a copper could easily stick a 'does not comply with standards' (or whatever it is) notice onto the car, even if he doesn't know if it's ok or not. Leading to the hassle of getting it cleared if it is indeed ok. Or perhaps that wouldn't happen?

[Cam.]

All depends on the officer. I doubt it though, Very stealthy and his car doesn't stand out like a sore thumb.

[FR34KO]

I thought that would be the case. Luck of the draw on what the officer thinks; and luck is not my forte.

Ordered the correct swaybar and HD links for my car after buying cams SG one and realizing it didn't fit 

Finished mid semester exams today so chucked it on with cams help. 

So much better body roll is completely changed with just HD links, HD mounts and a 22mm swaybar on stiff setting 

Some pics to see the comparison and fitment 



Standard bar and mounts compared with whiteline bar and mounts

Fitted on the car


Cam sourced me quite possibly the cheapest Turbo XS catback you will find 2 nights ago and informed me i was buying it no questions were asked, period. 

We collected it this afternoon and will be fitted at a later date along with my X force bellmouth dump i purchased off cams wreck.

Will be getting a few little things before HVC but nothing major for the time being.

Nice toes.

 

Good setup man. Got the SG equivalent stuff on mine and it really does completely change the way the car feels!
