thank you.. I thought the place was a old empty gas station drove past it last week and it was open for business lol... sketchy place lol

so here they are, my very own aluminium control arms like the big boy STi have. now the little Leone can be up to STi spec !
But the little Leone has 1up on the STi with the 2015 STi oem pillow ball bushing in its place

25mm longer so now I can run oem cv axles from a STi or those 800hp ones..

cant wait to add the coilovers and the motor swap for some daily driver fun

ohlins custom made for the Leone STi.. lower mount was machined new to be used with the oem 2015 STi pillow ball bushing.

... its come along way now, its all most close to being where I want it.

Nico TURBO · 04-19-2015, 08:07 PM

so since I was making stuff I made pillow ball bushing inserts for my arms in the rear to give it that razor sharp handling...

cusco design

Porsche 911 has all most same design look rear arms and they also upgrade with pillow ball

Nico TURBO · 05-20-2015, 01:38 AM

new control arms on, ohlins on, pillow ball heim joint the hole car.... feels great now just need alignment..

was testing it on the track and she handles like a dream... only thing missing was a race seat to hold me.

2015 Sparco Grid.. so light weight from there old line up of seats.

STi axles now

more pictures and videos of my Leone on Insta-gram

your build and thread made me orgasm

Nico TURBO · 07-10-2015, 05:04 PM

so since I was on the track and all most lost a motor to a faulty oil pressure sensor leaking I decided to get some proper equipment to finish the system off and new sensors.

Radium fuel rails and Bosch FPR adapter to keep it nice and simple and in series on my spare Spec-c V8 STi intake manifold.

I can build the proper lines now then swap them on to my Leone

also finally finished my new front bumper... JDM/USDM mixed with Canada top trim and impact beam.. fully mutt now lol.

all done no more accidents please !!!... next to my favourite year Subaru 2015 got to get one of these

amazing built

I don't recall the last time I started reading a build and lost all sense of time enjoying the read. Thank you for sharing the build and so many pictures!

Though the 2015 looks all fresh and pretty, I'm positive you would tear its face off in any measurement of performance.
