Stuff that has happened since I last posted:

Most likely still on the bumper they came out of; such is life.
Today: Played with a duck caller; recorded footage on a potato.

Overnight (plus several months) parts from Japan.
These won't be going on till I have projector spotlights (Narva 71850, same as TRDGT4), and I need to get a tab plastic welded back on.
Excited that t...

Oh my, haven't posted for a while.
Adventures since I last posted:
- check engine light - code 54'd. When the clutch was replaced, it doesn't appear they took the time to fill the I/C too stringently....

1.97 for 91 (lowest octane available here), but it's per litre. 1.40 for diesel!
For 98 (the stuff worth using), it's now around $NZ2.20/L, which means $US6.40/gallon.
Continue to dream, I think you m...

Since the above, I clocked up a bunch of distance and decided that I didn't want to lose the sound. 3" downpipe, decat, and only the rear muffler sound...

So, went to Maidstone Mufflers, paid em $700, got an exhaust, and they fixed the brake issue for me. Top guys.
Due to my desire to push the boundaries of WoF inspector's patience, I asked them to just...

Even if I got away with it, i'd still replace it - it sounds all reverby like a poorly running Subaru at idle, and like i've got an atmo venting wastegate on boost >.>

Finished the front caps. Put them and the skirts on - still needing to drill some holes and get some rivnuts for the rears.
Looks good - scruffier than I had hoped, but such is life when doing things ...

It's down on power and up on weight compared to the same gen WRX and Evo (Looking at '96, though the other years are similarly outclassed - GC8D WRX/Evo 4), and has a stinky 50:50 F/R torque split.

That's more in reference to comparable Evos/STIs, which are lighter and faster for the same dollars.

Not a great deal, except for looking better obviously!
These arrived today:
Gotta file down the fronts, paint the rears, and work out how i'm attaching them, then the skirts will go back on too.
