Parting it out, sadly for it! Well, at least I want the front bumper and boot, and Kiz might want the coil overs, and someone else the wheels. Actual damage isn't much but not sure if anyone will take it without the goodies on it when they'll have to add a lot of parts.

If you dont want to front fog light I will take it off of you? I'm pretty keen on coilovers and the wheels too. let me know if it falls through.

Haha, will do. But if the coilovers fall through it'll probably be because they're royally stuffed.

Had it towed about 43kms for $100.

now it'll wait at vipfto's till Kiz and I move.

They're pretty rashed, design is nice but not wide enough for my liking.

Wouldn't know for sure on the drop. I'd say probably 40-50mm at the front 30-40mm at the rear at a guess? The tyres are quite low profile, 225/35.

These are 18 inchers. Speak to Mad_FTO95 and see if she'll let you wring them from her grasp.

Worley radiator review: thread tapped for drain plug is sh*t, rest of it seemed fine (but not outstanding), but will be getting refund anyway. Got the Samco sport hoses on anyway, not the power steering one yet though. New coolant, and an oil and filter change. Found out aligning today at Tim's work that one of the rear lower arm bushes is rooted and so is the bolt. Quick fix tomorrow and then will deal with it after bonfire.

SPAM.

Love the front on shot, the camber looks really nice too, just need to remove that pesky BC sticker already!

Post by **bjk** » Tue Mar 29, 2016 3:30 pm

Yeah it's like -3 or more at the back with that collapsed bush haha

Despoilered boot will go on and look clean anyway. Might see if I can do a bootlip too.

Car survived bonfire, not too fond of cold starts now though.

Been throwing money at it in prep for getting the Evo 5 gear on (among other things); new ball joints from RHD Japan, new Timken style hub assemblies coming from the US. Grabbed a pair of those alloy Evo 1-3 rear arms from aliexpress. Should pick up some brake pads soon, and then it'll just be having the calipers powder coated, and bushes for the arms. Keen for selling these STi Brembos once they're off to recoup some of this cost.

Also lottery come at me.

Dude it looks like you have a leaking headgasket from the samco hose pic.

The coolant looks very very brown..

I think it's just from when the cap was stuffed and it was leaking out of there. Don't think we've noticed any other symptoms?

Still way too brown..

Why did you get the new radiator?
