If these Carbon Trd's said Sti instead I would pay any amount

hahaha I'm not sure how I pulled this one off but it happened. Super lucky.

Maybe try getting the unpainted TRD version? And then hydrodip with a STI logo on it?????

Was the nsidious harness hard to install?

Thanks! Hope to see ya at one of the meets coming up The Nsidious Harness (with the help of a friend who knows the wiring of these cars) is not too difficult!

Missed the 222,222km photo. Oh well... but all I can say is that, I've been having a blast!

A few minor incoming changes...

1) GR Cluster - It's been in transit via USPS from California since July 3rd... so it should be any day now!
2) Zenki TRD Lip and Skirts - Maybe I'll get them in for 86 Day but not too hopeful.
3) Tentatively decided that I will be moving to BBS RF 17x7.5 wheels. When I order them will be up to my mood I guess... happy early birthday to me?
4) Going to drain my transmission fluid to keep an eye on the tranny. Depending on what the drain looks like may move to a different oil.
Here's a few photos with the fins installed!

Haha yes, they were. My splitter is attached to my tow hooks underneath the car so the rods were aesthetic. They are currently removed for what’s coming next

Thank god, otherwise that's a road hazard waiting to happen. Car looks great! Digging the spaced 17+ OEM wheels on a lowered car.

did you do some extra mainainance on this engine? or has it ever been rebuilt?

Coming along great, one thing i would say is about those splitter rods. Would rather not run them than mount it on the bumper.

Thanks! Splitter rods are currently off the car Splitter has been additionally mounted to my tow hooks so rods were never necessary!

All normal maintenance, the previous owner’s logs has been attached on original posts.

I am currently doing oil changes at 5000km intervals! That’s about it!

Another update!

-Acquired and installed TRD Radiator Cap (MS143-18001)
-Installed new OEM bumper plate (SU003-05827), my old one was so rusted it literally snapped in half when I took it out.
-Acquired and installed Verus Pedal Spacer. I can finally heel toe in the car! I'm a small human being so the pedal was a bit farther and too deep for my liking.
-Acquired Enkei-made STI wheels (17x7 +48). Someone was letting them go for 250 CAD and I couldn't resist. Gave the Primacies away to some friends and keeping the wheels for some other day.
-GR Cluster from ICEFabrications arrived! Installed and calibrated my cluster needles and I am honestly so hyped about this! I love the full white cluster!
-Acquired Verus Sidemarker Deletes but am waiting for TRD kit to come in to install that all at once.
-Now that I have two sets of wheels, I am crossing off new wheels for the time being. New major upgrade to coilovers will be the next on the list... stay tuned...
