Fresh trunk lid without spoiler Shade is slightly off but the rest of the car could use a buff anyway lol. Once things get back to normal I will have the body shop match it up to the tee.


I have been always wanting to rid my stock wing since I got the car. Added the STI logo after this shot was taken.

You missed a trick here.. the blank plate is screaming for a slogan "This is the real thing, it's not a FRS."

Bad news. My 2.3l stroked and bored engine for the tS is on hold due to Corona. The custom JE pistons won't be ready any time soon. 2 track cars and neither running.

Did manage to play with my tS's cooling stack. Looks like everything is going to play nicely. Still need to grab material to mock up some ducting also some 3/16" foam tape for between the cores too. So much thinner than my turbo car's setup.

Also gave in and threw on the JDM Sti fender garnishes on her. Had them a few months now. Happened to be debading the Evo so went ahead and removed and retaped the garnishes.

i prefer to drive it after a rain has pummeled the road with sticks and leaves. keeps the squids from surprising me in the corners.

Haven't posted up in a while, but today I finished detailing my '17. Clayed, compounded, polished, and finished with a coat of carnuba wax. She cleaned up alright considering 48k miles of all season driving in the northeast.

Also cleaned up the interior and threw on a JDM STi knob, so basically stock PP for now aside from the SSR's (17x8.5/+48) and PS4S in 245/40... I'm waiting patiently to get off warranty before I install a set of RCE Yellows and camber bolts

My battery is currently sitting outside of the car... Fully charged, just need to put it back in its rightful place and start the car, drive it even.. but I think we've got another few months of lockdown...

Don't let the warranty stop you from installing Springs

i don't like having to deal with the relearning and reprogramming of everything.

but i'm still on the original battery, so at this point, everything is bonus time.
