I've been working on my wrx recently, and finally had time to install my Z s-tech springs and spacers. I have 20mm in the front and 25mm in the rears. Didn't put the front spacers on yet because one of the studs is stripped. I'll get some better pics later, after I put the front spacers on and after the springs settle. Sorry for the crappy phone pics.

nice work bro.... You know your ballin when you can afford to mod two cars lol

 

Haha, ballin on a budget maybe. I'm pretty much done with the wrx, I just gotta get it tuned. I just cannot wait for my body kit stuff to come in for the G.

 

The spacers look good. Gives it a more aggressive look.

 

So I'm bored here at work and thought I'd update this. Still need to take better pics.





The hood before hood pins:





The vents limited the orientation of the latches. There's still about a 1/2 in gap between the hood and the top of the grill, but at least I can rock the hood now.

 

Damn man it's looking clean.....trying to go with the same set up....but how's the ride on these springs and also any rubbing with the spacers...?

 

I have the sports shocks, not sure how the ride would differ from a non sports suspension. Anyways, the ride feels the same as stock. No rubbing with the spacers, I could probably go with 30mm in the rear and 25mm in the front. The drop wasn't as low as I thought it would be though.

 

30mm and 25mm would be perfect since the drop isn't too drastic. Are the stock wheels the same offset like the Z?

Keep up the good work man. G is coming along nicely!

 

Gotta look up the specs, but I think they're around +30/33mm.

Thanks, there's so much that I wanna do, but I'm trying to buy a townhouse right now. I wanted to buy Jorge's turbo setup, but need the money for closing costs.

Good news though, the exhaust I ordered back in July should be in this week!

 

interesting nismo sides. wats the wires dangling on the front bumper?

 

haha, they're holding up the plastic under shroud thing

 

Nice, what did you pick up?

 

Ordered the top speed n1 style. When I ordered it, I was planning on doing a single turbo build. I liked the 3in inlet, and I've always liked the n1 style exhausts.

Hopefully I'll have time to install it tomorrow, found out it was delivered earlier today.

 

Those N1's can get crazy loud. Post before and after pics! Also take some of the exhaust before you put it on!!

 

Finally got it on, i'll post the pics later.

On a side note, I couldn 't get one silencer off. I'll buy a 12 pack for whoever can get it off for me

 

use a set of thick pliers wrapped in cloth so you wont damage them, twist and pull. Make sure you remove that bolt first... Same thing happens with my N1's. BTW topspeed/invidia N1's are LOUUUUUUUUUUUUDD without silencers. I leave them on to avoid trouble with the popo

 

Believe me, I've been trying to pry them out. I've used needle nose pliers, a vice grip, screwdriver, wire hanger and wd40. At this point, I'll probably end up using a dremel or something to cut that thing out.

I'm not too worried about it being loud. I've had a wrx with 3in straight piping from the turbo back, and completely catless pre turbo with an external wastegate.

 

Don't mind the dirty car.

looks sweet. I do admit, they look a whole lot nicer without the silencers. I wish I could keep them off.
