Nice looking hatch you have there, gauges are a bit of an issue in these cars as they dont have anywhere easy like newages. I have been toying with this https://www.perrin.com/shop/interior-gauges/gauge-pod

Hi mate, they are 52mm prosport ones's, . I was looking for somewhere to put them but don't like the pod holders so I had the vents removed and custom holder made. I think it look ok, some might disagree Lol. I also had a WRX's and I put a quad exhaust on mine it and it made all the difference in looks and sound, also new panel filter and a remap ..


Not the best photo, but gives you an idea.....

Nice hatch, looks very similar to mine that I got in September. Mine has also had a change to a quad exhaust at some time in its past. Does yours not have the splitter on the front bumper?

Here is mine

I’ve also got the mishimoto top mount on my hatch also. Much better than the standard crap.

What are the Mishimoto TMIC like? Do they make a big difference to intake temps compared to the standard TMIC? Any issues with strut brace clearance? I have a JDM hatch twinscroll which has the same TMIC as the WRX-S however its running 302bhp/354lbft so I am tempted to get a better intercooler.
