Thread: My 2005 WRX STi - 6/28/2016 dyno tune update 429 AWHP/377 AWTQ on 93 octane

so you want to vinyl the whole car? why not just do a clear bra and some rhino guard along the rocker covers?

pssss... you should get this maybe.

Well last week was spring break so I did my full detail but even more insane than ever. Stepped up to polishing with M105/M205 and using Collinite 476s Super Doublecoat wax and the car has never looked better. I also installed a clearbra with the help of my dad. Once the weather clears up I'll get some pictures.

Just purchased Hawk HPS pads front and rear and I'm picking up some ATE Typ 200 fluid to flush out the ATE Superblue that's currently in there. Once my wheels sell I'm picking up some new wheels, either 17x8.5 +40 RPF1's or 17x9 +48 PF01's. Leaning toward the RPF1's because they're lighter, $400 less, and I can reuse my current tires which only have about 5000 miles on them. Getting it ready to do some Autocrossing!

I'm also working on finally getting my gauges installed, since I've had them in the closet for about a year and a half now. EGT, oil pressure and boost, and controller, center/clock replacement pod. Should be nice.

Thought the 105/205 combo was lethal I heard M101 was even better a bit more pricey though. Kyle you know we need pictures!

Here's a low quality teaser off my phone:


There's not a swirl on this thing, although that will change the first time the wind blows, but for now, it looks great.

I need to bring mine up, and we wrap it

BTW what ever became of the door ding situation?

Door is still dented, I'm either going to replace the door when I find one in good shape or have PDR done on it and the rest of the car at some point. I don't take it to school anymore so hopefully it won't happen again.

I've never use PB's polishes, but I've heard good things! Post pictures when you're done!

Why don't you just have Rob get the dent out?

You know he does amazing work and doesn't cost much. Hell, he is just charging 5k for Andrews STi to be redone.

They didn't have insurance rageface.jpg . My deductible is $500 and that's about what the highest quote I got to fix it, so I decided not to turn it in :/

Does he do paintless dent removal? I don't want filler anywhere on the car.

Yeah I am 99% sure he does.

Nothing came of it as far as I know, The police said I could press charges for assault if I wanted to since there were 3 of them and they threatened to "beat my ass" if I called their plates in. They'll get theirs. If nothing else I can sleep well at night knowing that my quarter retarded Labrador is going to go further in life than the 3 of them combined.

So I now have 2 piece DBA 5000 T3 clubspec front rotors, DBA 4000 T3 clubspec rear rotors, and Hawk HPS pads all around thanks to my friend Dave and his business, Crux Motorsports! Just waiting on my ATE brake fluid, TiC master cylinder brace, and G2 caliper paint to get here so I can get it back on the road in time for WBM. I also picked up some manifold gaskets so I can drop my manifold, install my EGT sensor and finally install my gauges I've had sitting around forever.

what color caliber paint?
