Matey's BReeZy. Slow and steady

Don't let the title fool you... It's referring to the speed of which I'm completing this project in.

This is a DIY project. The only thing I will not be personally doing is installing my turbo, the tune for that turbo, and putting my new shoes on (shop will be doing that for alignment)

Completed:

$340 - Crawford power blocks

$890 - Perrin 2.5" catback exhaust

$1300 - lip kit

$70 - rear diffuser

$100 - carbon fiber gas cap

$375 - window tint (15%)

$849 - ST coilovers

Ordered list:

ORDERED:Awaiting arrival so I can purchase tires. $599 - VORDOVEN FORME 9! 18x9.5
http://unleashedwheels.com/vordoven-...commended.html



To do list:



$340 - Perrin over pipe

http://www.subietuned.com/8348-perrin-overpipe.html

$389 - P3Cars vent integrated gauge

http://www.p3cars.com/shop/subaru/p3...tal-interface/

$319 - Valenti tail lights

http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/vale...l#.Vcusa7JViko


Changing this line to FBM turbo kit

Clutch removed until further research

Actively looking for different over pipe just incase, and headers. (tomei might be the brand of choice )





Pictures of progress

Totally stock


Power blocks


Perrin's Catback


Lip kit, diffuser, gas cap and tint (following 4 pictures)




















Prices could be off a little bit, but for the most part are accurate.

I will be asking people for advice on certain things.

Current question: what else should I expect to buy with my turbo that won't already be coming with it, etc.



EDIT: 6/26/15 got rid of pictures of parts because it took up too much screen space. Only leaving progress pictures up from here on out.
Order my new exhaust today. It'll be here next week and installed the weekend after the 4th.
Also added/changed links for some stuff that I found cheaper on other websites.
EDIT: 7/11/15 Changed somethings around. Changed what I'm planning on getting, going to make a "ordered but awaiting parts" list for stuff I have ordered but awaiting for install.
EDIT: 8/12/15 Added more completion pictures, changed what I'm planning on in the future. More to come, soon!

For coilovers, I'd recommend ST. Same price as Megan and yet WAY WAY better.

For your turbo, I'd recommend an oil cooler, boost gauge, oil temp gauge, and wideband. I see you're looking at that P3 gauge setup, so that should take care of part of that.

For wheels, I'd recommend something different as those will look really off on that car (my opinion, of course).

Everything else looks pretty good though.

Your car look(ed)(s) awesome. I love the TE37SL look on a black twin. SO much money though.

I bought the ST coils, unfortunately haven't put them in yet, waiting a while for my wheels to arrive. They've had such a good following it seems, for such a low price.

I second the wheel comment, I think they look horrible. Get more style Matey

Thank you! I'm looking at oil coolers slowly but surely as I go to the drag strip regularly with my friend. I want to put it up against the other twins there. As for wheels it's just a concept for now. I really don't know what will look good with white. There was a silver rim that I wanted that I cannot find at all.. looked over 1200 rims.. can't find it but I have seen it on a FRS in the past... the only similiar one I found was $1250 a rim.. not about that life

You find a rim that looks good with white lol. They all look awkward and out of place. I looked into the brass/bronze color. if I could see it on my car first I'd order it soon as I find one I like

I mean, it's all subjective, but I can think of 20 different wheels off the top of my head that would look better than those, even on a white car.

-Any color RPF1
-Any color Work Kiwami
-Any color TE37SL
-Any color Gram Lights 57DR
-Any color Gram Lights 57Extreme
-Any color Gram lights 57Getter
-Any color Enkei RS05
-Any color Advan GT
-Any color Advan TCIII
-Any color Advan RGIII
-Any color Weds TC105N
-Any color Volk ZE40
-Any color Work XD9
-Any color Enkei NT03
-Any STI wheels
-BRZ Ts/STI wheels
-Any color Work Meisters S1
-Any color SSR GTV02
-Any color SSR GTV03
-Any color Work VSXX

^20 different wheels right there. Add in the fact that each comes in different colors, and add the countless other options from those companies, and I just provided you with 100+ wheel options that don't make the car look like a GMC Yukon.

I'm trying to stay away from dark rims because I feel like black/dark is mainstream as fuck right now. Wanting gold/brass/white

Those last ones just look too noisy. The only wheels I think look ok with writing on them is te37sl's And who cares what's "mainstream," it's your car, do what YOU want with it.. On white, pretty much any color wheel looks ok. My car is black, I'm limited to gunmetal, bronze, black, or white. Anything else looks odd or ricey
