Re-mamamia the recaros are much much better than the oem seats. The sides are very strong leather and the center alkantara. They can support the body much better and can use 4-6 ponts harness. I used to have sparco but the recaro is the top.

 

kai....you will regret it. Don't do it!....Right now you are having fun with the STI. It is kind of like a honeymoon, but once it settles you will miss the FD. You have a cherry example of one. Hang on to it, because one day, and the day will come you will want to be behind the wheel of it again. I KNOW....................ok, enough talk, just looking out for a great member here. Now back to our regular schedule program.....PICS!

 

 

Very nice, just adjust the headlight cover and your good to go....Oh, Some wheels would be great too...

 

thanks! WORK VS-XX with huge lips are next on my list : )

 

kai aint going to sell the fd for sure.... he just saying it.

 

Yes I am not selling it as I will be parting it out....Unless somebody buys the whole thing which I doubt....

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo

 

You know everybody is going to give you crap for this, so you might as well just keep it, even if you don't drive it! JK

 

Nice man. Yeh, it's very fun to drive a new car. I just test drove a friend's S4. Hell I even enjoyed a Nissan Sentra rental. drove it down to VA. Full tank of Fuel and bank. (well I pumped $10 as soon as I got back to Jersey just in case. It was already 3 AM

But yeh, I think you'd need that kinda car over there in AK?

yeh I figure it's going to be asked alot. Plus also for my reference.

 

I know everybody will give me crap but oh well, next time around I will be doing a different build, this is why I will be parting this out as soon as the sunshine here dissapears, still sunny here so still driving it...

 

Just bought this the first week of July. I've wanted one for a few years now and have just been able to purchase one. I really like everything about it.

 

This was back from 2 months ago. It was a disappointment, as every intercooler pipe deiced at one point to leak. After fixing them all it now holds 15 psi till redline and now need to revisit the dyno again. You can't tell from the pictures but I do use t-bolts on my setup.

 

Wow... congrats. Another CYM owner in the mix. Post up more pics when you get a chance.

 

Hmmmmm, so starting the 3-rotor NA build this winter huh? Nice. You just selling parts off your Panda and starting with the shell as the basis for your 3 rotor conversion, or starting with an entirely new FD?

Enquiring minds want to KNOW!!!

 

KAiFD3s nice choice! what year?

 

Heres some pics from today, worked on my friends FD today at my house.

the SSM is mine, and the sexy Black FD is alanwu07

 

Dang!! Maybe I should sell my car too and get an STi.

 

Its a 2008, and only had 6000 miles...first one and only one in Juneau...

 

LoL, who knows what I am going to do, I am confused.....I'll keep you guys confused too...

 

A few of mine before I lay her up to neaten up the bay and doa bit of a wire tuck.
Wheels are only temporary - borrowed them from my daily - hence the weak fitment. When she's back on the road she'll be running 9.5 BBS LM's all round on a semi aggressive fitment - et25 with a 225 on the front, and et10 on the rear with a 235.

Loving the MazdaSpeed MS-01's!

What size are those? Are you selling them?

 

the wheels: Yes or no? re-finish black?

 

^Eh, wish they had some concave goodness to them. Would look better in black/satin black

 

Cheers dude
They're 17x8 et 45 and 17x10 et38, the rears are wearing a 20mm spacer on teh FD though, so ET18.

They usually live on my daily S14a, so they're going back on there I'm afraid.

I'm going to redo them as the gold is fading really badly - going for a satin gunmetal all over, centres and dishes, should add a bit of evil to my 14a
