You feel like you got increased stopping power with this setup?
Might be something for me to try once I destroy my stock pads.

Definitely a huge increase in stopping power once they get some heat into them. I would not recommend the pads for street use though, the first time I drove out to the track in them the squeaking was unbearable. I've since started swapping the pads/wheels/tires at the track the morning of. Once you get through a couple corners and put some heat into them, they're silent.

For a street use pad, the G-Loc GS1 is my go-to, and the R10s get swapped in for track.

Haven't updated this in awhile. But cars been changing.
I've done about 200 laps so far at the local tracks having a blast. Bought some carbotech xp 10s for track work.

Installed clear side markers and white LEDS:

All mods installed so far as been done by me in my garage. I am proud of that since I have no mechanic experience at all. Not the hardest mods but I've been learning a lot and getting way more comfortable turning a wrench.

Plans for spring mods
I have Some EUL headers coming and going to get those tuned at Drift office which is a local shop in Auburn WA. I also have the Rise and Shine spoiler coming as well. I have been thinking about getting STI lowering springs and ft86 rear diffuser(non-aggressive). Unsure. Waiting for Jackson racing to release their 2017 version of the radiator/oil cooler. Also been thinking about wrapping my door handles black I think it would look awesome. Plus a nice small project to learn wrapping.

Oh I also did STI push start button.

Looking good. I'm jealous of the clear bra. Is it bumper / hood only?

Its on the door edge + behind door handle and trunk. Its the Subaru kit and its pretty nice. If I were to buy my own I would have a detail shop wrap it. I think they would do a better job.

Oh! Ok. I was thinking you had it on the front bumper and hood. It’s so clean and shiny, and doesn’t look like there’s any paint chips.

Elliotw 02-20-2018 07:00 PM

Sorry its on the bumper and half hood plus the rest of places I mentioned.

Got my Drambeenie spoiler installed at lunch time today. Pretty easy install. I love the look. Just one photo to share for now. I went with the matte black to match the spoiler and the yellow and black theme.

Another shot of the new spoiler. I was out in south downtown seattle doing some drifting/donuts in the snow. :)

Thanks for this. I used to have the smoked ones, but with the stock tail light's chrome, I think your's looks much better.
I'm convinced now :)

Updates!!!!

Got my 2017 Nameless axleback exhaust. I went with 3inch + mufflers. Installed it last night. Sounds great and tips look good.

Unpacked:

Picked up go pro as you can see from the video. Excited to use it to capture some track footage.

I picked up a Radium dual catch can from amazon for $360! Started the install but I've run into a screw where the thread has been stripped. So that's holding up the install. :(

Mods in flight. (in mail)
  1. FT-86 rear diffuser non-agro + diff cover
  2. GReddy oil cooler 2017 version
  3. Gruppe-s Coated EUL + Drift office tune
  4. Shorai 5 pound battery
  5. Oil/tran/diff fluid change
This will put the car at stage 1 for me. Which I will leave it in all summer and enjoy the tracks out in the PNW. Throw the modding money towards running costs.(brakes, fluids, track days, etc). Next winter I will decide if I want to go deeper into the car and install a supercharger or just leave it as is and run it at the track for the next few years.
