2005 STI Wagon build

got some things done today! installed the driver side over fender. My old flares were riveted on. Got really tired of always drilling them out so this time I installed rivnuts. I ran out of rivnut inserts. 4 bolts arent installed. I ordered some more eye appealing bolts for the fenders. currently being held out with generic bolts lol.

Had to also trim the new overfender because they were waaaaaaay to big. kinda like how it looks. will look much better once my car is cleaned and the flares are painted + the vskfs

Yes I cant wait for the swap to begin! Still unsure how much power I'm going to aim for, I had originally said 350whp. hopefully Ill be able to get that out of the stock block. The turbo is going to get an upgrade!

Great looking car

thanks buddy!

Finally got my SCALE coilovers, I ordered rear camber plates also but they didn't come in yet. I installed them one day after work. Will give a better review on them in the next couple weeks. Heres the difference between my old coilovers and the new ones. they go way lower!!!

Ran into a problem going lower. Axle is hitting the front frame. Used a carbide bit and cut a 1 inch notch into the frame. Should be ok since the front springs are 14kg, i dont think itll ever touch unless i go lower.

Heres a recent picture taken by CXJ Photography.

thanks man! Try online, VRWHEELS or threepieceus sometimes they have vskfs! I got mine locally from a guy who imports them from Japan.

With those rear flares not letting you open the doors, i would say this is the perfect time to make a shooting brake! Or a panel van!

That picture is just a photoshop, but that as a reality! ooo...

Finally got the wheels installed!

Had to replace each wheel stud. Rears are a hassle to replace due to the abs ring being bolted to the back of the hub which blocks the studs from getting out. Had to disassemble the handbrake. 11 year old handbrake springs are no fun to work with. back plate is all rusted. those are going to get replaced when the swap is done anyways..

big booty anyone?
