A few questions -
Is there any highway speed drone with either version?
What are the specs or the exhaust and downpipe, 3"? 1 cat?
Does the midpipe take more of a straight shot like the exhaust that Perrin is working on or is it a stock layout.
When will it be ready, price?

+1 how many more Db is it over stock?

Update:

We received the first set of Robispec Club Sport (KW Variant 3 w/ custom valving) coilovers on Thursday. We couldn't wait to get them mounted up.

First thing the car was put up on the cornerbalance/alignment rig and JC went to work. We lowered the car 1.2" in the front and 1" in the rear. Alignment was set for aggressive street.

Unfortunately, we had to ditch the Volk RE30s because their 35 offset was too aggressive for this project. They could definitely be made to fit, but with the alignment this project requires and the 265 width Yokohama tires, it wasn't meant to be.

We switched to a set of hollow spoke Axis Wheels - 18 x 9.5 et 55. These took a little work to fit, especially with the coilovers, but the result is quite nice. Note, we had these wheels powdercoated matte black.

Yes, that 510 does have a turbo SR20 in it...

how much inner clearance room is there between the wheel and suspension parts? How close are you to needing to roll the fenders? looks very good. Let me know your impressions of the KW variants as I might give up my wait on Tein Monoflex for these.

Beautiful car, guys.

I'm sure it's in this thread, but I couldn't find it; any specs on the wheels and tires? They're so meaty and fill the well perfect with that drop.

sneekyseven · 02-25-2008, 08:47 AM

I'll have the 510, please

alphaSTI · 02-25-2008, 08:51 AM

The STI is coming along so nicely!

impressive · 02-25-2008, 01:47 PM

did you still use the 265 advan neovas do you think i will have a problem with advan rs 18x9 et 45 with 255/40/18 tires?

You guys need to see it in person. Wheels actually look excellent.

Tbagger · 02-27-2008, 05:10 PM

Great work guys, top notch stuff.

That white hatch looks very nice but gold needs to be on the car. White and Gold is just the cats ass.

Love what you're doing and you're making this car look very appealing . . .

foofighter · 02-27-2008, 09:21 PM

with the addition of the thicker rear sway bar. Have you given any thought on reinforcing the attachment points in that subassembly? seems the stamped sheet metal that holds the OE bar might flex and fatigue w/ the installation of the thicker bar?

I just know this from experience with other makes going to a little thicker bar.

Otherwise the build so far looks great! Makes me more convinced that white is the way to go

***Cr8zyJAP07*** · 02-27-2008, 09:38 PM

are u gonna do any body work?

TarmacST1 · 02-28-2008, 01:50 AM

very cool

. BUT intercooler opening on the original bumper is too small

. i'd cut it to exact intercooler size or new front bumper asap.

You guys thinking about v mount in the future? that'll be HOTTT

GreekSTI · 02-29-2008, 11:41 PM
