installed my primitive front skid plate and rear diff protector - quality pieces

[carl s.]

my ksport rally spec gr coilovers came in



comparison to the bc racing I took off (note I actually lengthened the bc's body about an inch and a half prior to removing it from the car)
















not sure how i feel about these coilovers right now. on the freeway they are a bit bouncy (finally got the dampers dialed in and that's helped out quite a bit). they seem to handle rough pavement and lumpy frozen snow quite well. there's a slight clunk in the rears and the front dampers are a pita to adjust (inverted design). body roll is pretty minimul and steering is very responsive - the steering feel imo is better than the bc's (definately less bumpsteer).

corbeau fx1 pro
good:
sits nice and low
holds well
easy to get in/out of
bad:
needs more lumbar support (at least for my preferences)
wish blue matched other interior blue better but that's minor
seat bracket did not bolt right in - i had to tweak some of the holes with a dremel
not as tight as my old chargespeed (both good and bad)

[carl s.]

this bracket needs one more brace to be complete but is pretty sturdy as is





head on shot is hard to get everything in focus lol

new suspension ftw! ksport rally spec gr's are off the car finally! i had these on the car for 3 months, which was 3 months too many. at first they seemed to be ok but in the end my verdict for them is garbage. don't waste your money. build quality is terrible (they look like junk after 3 months. the BC's I had on the car for 10 months looked brand new after coming off the car). they made tons of noise (clunks, squeeks, groans, etc.), they rode awful. the adjusters in the front were almost impossible to access. ok, enough ranting.

I now have tokico d-specs with stock sti springs and tophats on the car. so much better!


I also got my rota tarmac II's in and my w404's mounted up


I will probably paint them green


or maybe orange


my car in summer mode

[carl s.]

[carl s.]

can haz wheels?


oh noes! t3h kitteh om nom nom wheels

[carl s.]

done with updates for now. should be getting the rest of my brake conversion stuff in tomorrow and friday. Once I pick up a new daily driver later this summer I'll completely gut the car. It doesn't need much more right now as far as performance goes for rallyx. I want a better seat and that's about it (for now)

I think you need more lights. Haha.

Really though, I think this is the first rally build that I have seen on here. Keep up the good work.

Wait, you're swapping out the Brembos??? Why, just so you can fit a smaller wheel?

[carl s.]

couple shots to show the car is used
