couple of awesome mods from the weekend!

Defi boost gauge with control box mounted in the ash tray slot (sneaky peak boost reading)

STI rear park lights

Nice looks good, not a fan of the aero pods on the rear bar bu might look different with lower offset wheels to fill out the guards. 

I have the wheels you mentioned above on my SF there is pics in my thread of it or this is how it sits with a 17X8 +50 (3mm spacer +53) 235/50/17

The car behind is Cams which is 18X8.5 +39 (3mm spacer +42) 235/45/18

 

Both have over 100mm clearance at lowest point on coilovers

 

To give you an idea on fitment

thanks for that helps me a lot. hopefully tax return covers the wheels, spacers and guard rolling!

Update: my list of things i wanted complete for the 27th is almost complete, along with a couple of extra small things. haven't had much time to update the thread so i thought i would just do it all at once.

Body kit:

picked up an st/b front bar with lip, st/b side skirts and rear bumper with aero pods from DCJapimports.com, has made the car look so much better and am very pleased with the result, the front end being my favourite part. The rear end is missing something i feel, but i have a wing which just needs painting so hopefully that completes it along with wheels with more offset. Also got some black STi fog light covers.

Suspension:

car has been lowered on GD Wrx wagon springs and i love the height it sits at now, much better than before and handles well also. STI braided brake lines where also added when the struts where changed.

Other bits and pieces:

picked up some STI tailights and will be installing them soon

Defi boost gauge and control box which will also be installed soon

GFB Mach 2 recirculating valve - much more discrete than the ugly blue one that was on their, and doesn't vent to atmosphere so not attracting as much attention.

Foz badge

Moved the HID ballasts to a more hidden place in the engine bay

roof racks removed

How it looks:

Future plans from here:

Possibly a vf30 and retune depending on funds and whether i feels its necessary.

Rear sway bar upgrade

Get the wing on

Install Defi system and source 3 other gauges + pod

install tail lights

new centre console trim

new rims with more offset, something like this:

Please let me know what you think  and again thanks to Scotty and Tim for the help with the car, i absolutely love how its turned out.
