update on the calipers...
This installation has been very painful. Realized the front drivers side caliper, top bleeder is leaking. The seat is ruined from drilling out the original bleeder cap and rethreading. I was forced to cap the bleeder with a brass screw-head to keep from leaking brake fluid. I Installed the calipers and equipment and it is still leaking. Before this weekend I thought this installation would be relatively easy, but now I am starting to reconsider. Complication after complication has made this process ridiculous. Most likely going to have to go back to the stock setup and get a new brembo caliper to replace the ruined one.

Looks like its Christmas in July! Just received some new stuff in the mail today. Black STI lug nuts and brand new, replacement WRX STI calipers (Hopefully I won't screw these ones up). Should have the full brembo installation completed on Thursday. More pics to come. Still waiting on rear subframe collars and bolts as well as some interior pieces.

Just some small stuff for a while. Some interior trim, new shift knob blah blah blah. Next big purchase will prolly be the new flexible v bars from STI. I need to cool it for a bit since I screwed up the original calipers I bought and had to buy brand new. This brembo conversion with the flipped bleeders has been a real bitch and a half... too far in to give up tho.

So what is your opinion of the 1.1 kit as a whole, and on the exhaust how is the fit and finish tip alignment etc? Any pictures of the Cosworth exhaust on your car? Nice build!

Yes! I have been wondering. I know there's lots of speculation, but I'd really like to know what it is. Cosworth hasn't released any info on stage 3 which is a bummer Oh for the FP/OP, are you going to get it directly from Cosworth, or from Nameless? Since it's the same piece and all....

Fit and finish is also excellent. Easy install. The catback has shifted a little since I installed but its a very quick fix (just readjust the hangers). Be aware that the ground clearance is reduced a little. Not good for a slammed set up... which is lame anyway lol. Here are some pics I took this morning.

Is the nameless FP/OP the exact same? The only 3" FP/OP I see from them doesn't have the resonator?

As for parts... internals would be inconvenient given we already placed a SC on top... I'd suspect larger injectors, maybe a pulley, and an intake. Either way, I'm super stoked to see what it is!
