Been on here a few weeks now. Thought i would post up a few pics of my car. Not had chance to give her a really good clean up yet but here we go.












After first good clean!

 

Nice,you got the right colour.

 

Agreed! Ha cheers mate

 

I've only had mine about a month and it is identical, 53 plate and black. Your engine bay looks much cleaner!

I painted my wheels black on monday though!

 

Nice mate
1st job de tango it

 

v nice

 

Nice one mate, good choice. Only close by aswell in wakefield. I'm in Dewsbury.

 

Defo one for the jobs list that one

 

Looking good I wonder how long before the first mod, probably not to long

 

Funny you should say that. I have had the resonated part of the exhaust replaced the other day with just a straight pipe to try gain abit more "scooby rumble". Didn't work as i thought it would. Sounds abit better!

 

Trouble with newage is the sound deadening is good and can be quiet inside but still sound the dogs from outside, my jdm with genome is quiet to me but I am told I can be heard well before I get to my destination. A straight through centre pipe is a good first mod though as well as sounding good you get rid of the steel part of the exhaust so shouldn't have any worries with blowing in the future. Another subtle mod is silver bulbs in the rear indicators cheap and cleans it up. Front Detango also good but as I am jdm this is already done. I also like the red hazard switch on the dash and a front splitter. I also rate my Godspeed 2 piece front discs. The list is endless once you start but it's worth it.

 

let the modding commence.....

 

Cheers for that mate, i think i agree with it been much quieter inside. sounds nice from the outside on tick over and a little rev. will have to get someone to drive it for me to see what it really sounds like i guess.
I was going to look into changing the second cat for a sports or decat! but read you have to get a remap when you do anything with these so i will see about that one. Silver bulbs and detango is a must really. I would really like the splitter too, I think you can read my mind pal

 

I knew it would. Just really trying to stick with mods that i can do without remapping for now though.

 

I know this has probably been asked numerous times but where about sells the front indicator Silvatec bulbs? What part number are they?
Is it BU582S?

 

Nice

 

nice car mate ,

 

Cheers for the comments guys!

This is where i have sourced through searching on here mate (hope the link works)

 

looks good just needs a front spliter

 

Agreed!

 

Thats a lovely looking example. If you want the burble from the exhaust, then you need to get a new back box. I used to have a WRX PPP, so it had a Prodrive silencer on it, making a proper burble. When I got my MY05 STI 6 weeks ago, I was shocked to discover the standard exhaust was so quiet.

Maybe the manufacturer intended the cars to be quiet and we chavs have created mobile ASBO's.

Anyhow, I think the community have created a signature feature of these cars. You must have the burble to compliment the Boxer Flat 4.

 

Nice one, thanks.

Just to clarify, it's the 581 Philips silver vision indicator bulbs?

 

Very nice looking blob. Good to see another Dewsbury lad on here too.

 

Yes mate

 

Cheers pal. Was going to ask where abouts in yorkshire you was. Good man

 

Thanks mate. Could do with it a little louder so i might have to see which might be best. I am after something that will sound nice without taking any cats off really! Must be somthing out there! (as soon as the funds allow that is, ha ha)

 

Great car mate, shiny as new how long did that take you!

 

Cheers mate, took me about 5 hours in totally (with about 6 tea breaks of course) got plenty of muk off with clay! worth it in the end.
