Chris05STi's 2005 OBP STi Journal (Black Betty) Major Install BEGINS!!!!!! - Page 12

Chris05STi · 03-11-2006, 04:26 PM

Nick you love my car!!!! Joe, this gauge is a 52mm.

Chris05STi · 03-14-2006, 04:45 AM

**Update: Well, on Thursday I will be ordering my Invidia V2 Catless DP with a wideband bung welded on there, then have the entire DP wrapped and then Thermo Tech sprayed. Also I am ordering the VF39 Turbo Wrap. Later the next week, I am ordering the Tanabe GF210 Springs, and then hopefully by the end of the month get the Cusco Pillowball Mounts for the front and rear. http://z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?model...ng&prodid=1731
What do you guys think? You think the Cusco Pillowball Mounts is a good combo with the Tanabe GF210 Springs?

LightWerkz · 03-14-2006, 04:47 AM

the cusco pillow mounts are nice, but keep in mind they raise the car .5 inches. So up front your car wont looked dropped with the gf's since they only lower the front by 1"

Chris05STi · 03-14-2006, 04:51 AM

So should I go for the RCE camber plates? And do the RCE Camber Plates come with the "bushing" thats underneath?

LightWerkz · 03-14-2006, 04:52 AM

RCE camber plates are on backorder

Im sure you can place an order and wait. You plan to autocross or track often? I got my front camber maxed out to 1.4 and it feels great...

straightouttajersey · 03-14-2006, 05:04 AM

with no other camber mods caes? how'd you do that? I got -.8 on the front and I was under the assumption that was as far as you really could go on stock parts

Chris05STi · 03-14-2006, 05:13 AM

But, if I get the RCE camber plates, do I need the top-hats??? And I think the RCE camber plates lower the front more? Man I need Surfa, where is that cracker! Lol.

Chris05STi · 03-14-2006, 09:05 AM

Ok, finally came to a conclusion, thanks to some buddies of mine!! Going with the Cusco Front Pillowball Mounts and Top-Hats for the rear, all connected to the GF210's!

MidnightSti05 · 03-14-2006, 09:15 AM

I think I'll be tuning in to this thread!

sebtarta · 03-14-2006, 09:50 AM

so the Cusco plates and the tops. Sounds good to go then Chris. Are you going to have this all in one for the install????

Evil XT · 03-14-2006, 10:19 AM

I would do RCE top hats man...its worth the wait and they are worth every penny.
By the time your done doing all this..itll most likely cost the same as a good set of coilovers...

NJSTi05 · 03-14-2006, 11:13 AM

damn chris, def cant wait to see how this turns out!

Chris05STi · 03-15-2006, 10:14 AM

*Update* Just ordered the APS Turbo Inlet from RallySportDirect for like $275 shipped! It will be fun, the install that is! Also, still waiting on some final things with the DP before I order it *custom work has to be done on it*, then when thats ready, I will pull the trigger and order it!

Edit: Also orderd a Boost Pressure Switch to mod the I/C Spray to go off at a specific PSI! *Thanks Lenny for the help/info!*
