They look the nuts mate :yeah:

Masive Masive thanks to CJ, who put my Brembos on today, then went onto pop my manifold on, with just a little cursing. :-D

Still on my quest for center caps though...

Your welcome and the curses where for good measure :-D

Crowman 02-11-2009 08:57 PM

Looks really nice now.
Brakes are wicked, very good move.
Big up CJ, good man.:10:

Looking good, like the red Brembos, stops it looking like an STi clone! Where did you get the decals from as I'm planning to put the Brembos on the rear of mine but in Black.

Fitted some STI struts/springs over last 3 days. Took its tool on me though, both rears tried to kill me. Pasenger side rachet slipped off the nut, square into my nose, craking it on the bridge. And the drivers side...

Bottom nut was stuck fast, used a old dumbell bar as a breaker bar, same thing happened, this time I fell over ( lol ) craked the bottom rib on the left side. :-(

Left it for a day, re-attacked it at CJ's. Managed to get it undone. Car now sits about 2 -3 cm lower all round, and feels so much firmer. Well please. If it stops raining I'll get some photos done.

Seats tomorrow, even though the hospital said take it easy....yeah right!

Car is looking good Nick, and be careful of tools as they do bite.:grin:

SpecB 18-02-2010 06:18 PM

Looks great in the flesh - cheers for the lift too - anytime you need a hand give us a shout!

Don't forget to get the alignment done now :doubleup:

Mortster 15-04-2010 01:09 PM

Little update.

Now removed 2 more Cats, front and up. Just need a downpipe now.

Sounds much nicer now.

All done very kindly by Tone, who got me in at short notice, changed my Track Rod ends too.

With that done, and with me being to late for the Geo Day, had a full 4 wheel alignment and geo just done. Ouch...bit expensive but it was WAAAAYYYY out.

Camber, Caster and Toe on each corner, Total Front and Rear Toe, Steer ahead and Thrust angle all now set up for a STI, rather than a WRX as I swapped the struts/springs over.

A few changes over the next few days planned too, a new look for 2010. The the real engine mods are to begin :doubleup:

Hongkongfooi 15-04-2010 02:00 PM

susp alignment will make a big difference! What engine mods you got planned:wink:

worzel 15-04-2010 03:03 PM

I bet it feels like a totally different beast now then. :cool:

Mortster 22-04-2010 08:37 PM

Went to a Graphics Company open day, got the Roof and this done..well happy with it.

Based near Maidstone, normally do big corp stuff, likes Sainsburrys Lorrys etc etc, but branching over to smaller stuff to now.

what he said ^^^

Mortster 22-04-2010 11:17 PM

A few more then :-)

Covers up the stone chips on the bonnet, cheaper than a re-spray. Still need to touch up the front bumper though.

Very tempted to get the whole car done...:norty:

De-cat downpipe, Thanks Rich. :wave:.

Going to clean, wax the spoiler, too see if its good enough to fit, if it is, going to dig out the drill, to make the extra holes...

Not bad for a first effort, well second actually. Broke the rev counter needle on my UK ones when I was doing a dummy attempt.

http://www.mortster.net/images/Wrap/...00708-2114.jpg

Just need to do the foggy switches somehow.

Mortster 25-07-2010 06:15 PM

Balls, my web space has fallen over and died :x

Just took a load of upto date pictures too. Its going to be fun re-doing all the links when its back up.

Mortster 01-08-2010 09:01 PM

Few updated pics, now that webspace is back up.

AndyWRX 04-08-2010 06:57 PM

looks really evil from the front :twisted:

Mortster 04-08-2010 10:10 PM

Ive been after some supertones for the front, but can I find them for sale in the UK...pfff, no chance. Seems like its US only. :sadno:
