Did you check the weight comparing to stock brakes? What did you do with the rear?

I forgot to weigh the set, but Google did :

2004-2007 STI:
- Front rotor 22.4 lbs.
- Front caliper with pads 10.9 lbs.

And the oem system according to a thread on ft86club.com

OEM front Brake pads= 1.8 lbs
OEM front brake disc= 17.0 lbs.
OEM front brake caliper bracket= 3.8 lbs.
OEM Front Brake Caliper= 7.8 lbs.

Rear is left stock with upgraded pads and discs, sti rear seems to f*ck up the bias to much, also I didn't want to spend a ton on rears that hardly do anything.

Spring arrived and the weather improved, so took some time to threat the car well

First the interior:
-P3cars gauge
-Carbon steering wheel insert (cover)
-Carbon ebrake
This pretty much completes my interior (sad moment ... :P )







On to the exterior:

-Tinted the rear fog
-3M matte black on the rear diffuser (center bit) + tinted rear fog
-3M matte black 'eyebrows'
-Fitted the summer wheels again

Small update, not much changed on the car. Took part in the Japrun, very nice tour with all Japanese cars, all with Japrun decals. Some awesome pics where taken that day:

For now I've removed the decals again. Will do something different with decals later, to celebrate the 2 years of ownership coming up

TRDnomoarrrr. Think I've added the last TRD part to the car, those damn fender fins. Love them! Color match was perfect (ordered them in 37J). Made some pictures at the Toyota head office













After driving the car for 2 years as a daily, it is now a real hobby car. I've received a company car for the daily commute and I actually kinda miss the GT :P

The car is developping two (TSB) issues:
-TOB is starting to make sound (probably fix it soon, together with a LW flywheel)
-Left mirror is moving slightly when driving (easy fix it seems)

Also:
-Needs boost ... I'm considering boosting the car more and more ..

Yeah they do, but you already have very nice fender thingies of TRD on your black edition.

I didnt look at that kit yet. I want a pretty much plug and play setup, that ideally I can fit myself and bring back to stock easily. I'm not looking for crazy power either. I'm considering the Harrop SC, Edelbrock SC, Jackson SC or something like that. Then I'll switch out my heat exchanger for a proper oil cooler and thats about it

For superchargers it is hard to beat the oem look of the harrop or edelbrock and they perform really well

Car is sold. It was a combination of lack of time and lack of power. With the car being very unique due to all TRD stuff I fetched a great price. Decided to save up and add the money a turbo build would cost to buy something slightly bigger and faster in the future. Thanks for all the support and keep enjoying those twins
