Gimmick STI is now the Import Image STI...Beware of massive power gains. ;) - Page 20

Its great, the more I drive the car the more I like the difference. I cant wait for a light flywheel now.

your car = BEAUTIFUL lol that is one sexy car man good job and continue updateing us....i just realized on your new mesh grill for you v-mount...it looks like on the left it was long enough to fit...what happen?

Gimmick · 10-11-2006, 05:57 AM

Its made for a EVO 8

Kinda ghetto for now, but the closest match to my spec c grills I could find. I will made some CF side panels to finish it off at some point.

And finally, is it possible to use that intercooler setup with the stock airbox and still have that pipe clear the hood?

For the most part, I could say yes on all accounts.

The only no's are the piping, these are all jdm sizes so they are a lil' different. I would need exact measurements, but I am pretty sure they are a hair smaller that what you posted, but extremely close.

Stock airbox would fit for sure if need be, consider that my kit is posted in the F/S section as well.

Gimmick, youre topic has been noticed by a large forum called Extreme Machines.
You`ve got really nice mods, kept the car very clean and functional, but still quick and comfortable.
My compliments, from The Netherlands!

Gimmick · 10-12-2006, 08:49 AM

Cool man, thanks.

Does that officially make my car e-famous?

Gimmick · 10-13-2006, 04:40 PM

Saying that its like christmas came early would not do this justice.

Some goodies came today that put a BIG smile on my face.

First the pile...

Now the breakdown...
In the pile we have some sti limited door panels with leather trim to match my leather EVO recaros...Plans are to get some evo 9 recaros with suede centers to match the suede headliner, then Ill be DONE (not including the black dash trim coming from japan next week.

)

Then we have a sti limited lip spoiler...Ohhh baby does it look good. I pick up my painted cf trunk tomm and will install permanently

And finally, the key components for my soon to be installed and shortly after released bolt on awic kit...The barrel core has only 1psi pressure drop at 7psi...not bad considering it will cool 50% faster and better than a standard fmic and 75% more than a tmic.

Tomm Ill put it all on and add more pics, I guess Im gonna take the trek to the local audio shop and get some components for the front so I wont have to remove them again along with a small amount of dynamat for around the mids.

My angry doggy cause she didnt get anything

**dailydriversti** · 10-13-2006, 04:51 PM

holy crap....

thats awesome.

I only need to say one thing though...you know the 07 sti limited controls are being released this weekend? So you can have english controls, instead of the japanese temp control which reads 25/30/35 i believe.

Deuce Cam · 10-13-2006, 05:11 PM

I really like the mods you've done, especially the v-mount. Quick question....Were you able to order the sti limited rear lip spoiler in PSM, or did you have to repaint it? The reason I ask is because I read somewhere that the limited spoiler only comes in UGM and pearl white.

**dailydriversti** · 10-13-2006, 05:12 PM

any limited spoiler you get will have to be repainted, all colors are different than previous models.

Gimmick · 10-13-2006, 09:14 PM

dailydriversti : I actually prefer the jdm temp gauge, maybe Im crazy. Plus, the vendors will heav ily overprice these parts. The US cost is considerably lower than the JDM, but I bet they end up trying to sell them for more.

Deuce Cam : The spoiler is in UGM, my car is SGM, I could see no color difference at all...No other colors are avail though. Ill post pics when mounted and you can all be the judge. I dont see a difference yet.

JustinH · 10-13-2006, 09:25 PM

wow thats nice, how much did those leather door trims set you back; looks expensive

TIMELESS · 10-14-2006, 12:25 AM

Ooh, you got the Limited Trunk spoiler too! My came in gray as well so I need to get that painted along with my wingless trunk tmrw. Might be a week before I get it back from the bodyshop. Can't wait!

Those door panels are smokin!
