Big Update Incoming (current mileage: 230,000kms)


I received and (with the help of a friend) installed the TRD Front Lip and Side Skirts. WOW! What a transformation in looks, super stoked about them. With the TRD kit on I decided on a bronze powdercoat for the STI wheels that I picked up. I was a little nervous about how they would turn out but they came out perfect. Mounted them the day I got them back!

During this time I decided I've had enough with my Tein's. Living in the treacherous streets of downtown Toronto, I wanted a better dampening system. My research and advice from many friends led me to the Ohlins Road & Track system paired with OEM top hats would ensure the most comfort.

After the coilover install and an alignment, I full sent it at TMP Cayuga at the Speedacademy Track day! It was an amazing experience and I can definitely say that I am hooked! Since that track day, I've shifted some of my part lookout to be track oriented. (ie: STI Strut Tower Bar)

Little other pieces added include, Verus Sidemarker Deletes, tS Shift Knob, 2018 Headunit, JDM red engine cover... next in line is some brake pads hopefully!

Thanks for the kind words!

The 7.5 wide versions are officially listed at 18.4 lbs each. I have the 7 wide version, I would imagine somewhere in the 18 lb range.

November 2020 Update:

The car spent most of this month at Luxury Auto Body. Completed full quarter panel, roof, and passenger door resprays. For those keeping count, every panel on the car has been repainted except my trunk and rear bumper. There was a bit of rust on the front side of the roof and fuel door area so this respray was a priority before winter hit. Last but not least, I hated the antenna and didn't really want to go to a fin so I opted to go for a full delete. I think it looks amazing!

I learned how to change my brake pads after getting the car back. I have included a bonus picture of my rear... uhhhh... pad from my rear right caliper. It was worn straight to the backing plate from my track sessions. Yes, I also scorched the rotor and that was replaced as well.

Plans for December include mounting some 06-07 USDM WRX 4 pots to the front.

My 2020 Plans for the car, this is a list subject to change but I usually follow my plans unless I encounter necessary changes.
-Wider wheels: 18x9.5
-Brake overhaul (Endless MX72 Pads, Endless Rotors (?), Stoptech SS Lines, Radium Master Cylinder Brace)
-Jackson Racing Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler
