Been a 'visitor' for some time now (not really getting involved), finally got round to joining a couple of days ago so thought I'd put some pics up for my first post , spec as follows:
'05 Sti Type UK (standard internals)
MD321t (ceramic coated)
Lateral Silicone Intake Pipe (breathers removed)
Lateral Headers/Uppipe (Heat wrapped)
Milltek downpipe
Milltek decat centre
Modified Blitz backbox (3" flange with no reducer)
PE 650's
255 Pump
Hyperflow Oil Catch Can
Hybrid Front Mount
Hybrid intake (K&N filter in wing)
Solaris ECU (with switchable maps, anti-lag and launch control)
Defi's (oil temp, oil pressure, boost)
AST's
Whiteline Anti-roll bar
Anti-lift kit
Mintex front/rear pads
18" Rota Force(black/red lip)
Wheels are 18 x 8.5 with 235/40 toyo tr1's. Wanted to go slightly wider but glad I didn't (theres only a few mm clearence on the back arch lip when fully bottomed out). I like the more 'dished' look of the 18 x 9's tho. Wanted advan RS's but cost to much .
Can't remember what offset they were but will check this weekend, I know they weren't standard (got the wheels from Revolution in Newcastle). Still to do on the styling front (when I can afford):
1. New plate for the front (one that doesn't cover the intercooler as much)
2. RCM Carbon Wing mirrors (does anyone know where you can get these any cheaper, £500 is a lot of money !)
3. Paint intercooler black (beef your right)
Running about 25mm lower than when I had prodrive springs on. Have had it lower in the past which looked awesome but couldn't get the car back in the garage, lol (bottomed out on splitter/mud flaps).
Have the Powerstation Stage 3 Package (see below, copied from website):
Stage 3 - T25 Spec Kit AST Sport-Line Suspension Kit
Rear Adjustable Roll Bar
Anti-Lift Kit
Front Adjustable Roll Bar
4-Wheel Alignment
Quality bit of kit and more than happy with it, car seems to stock to the road o.k. anyway.
Only making 410bhp/340ft lbs at mo, cars running on the safe side. Currently looking at a couple of 2.5 shortblocks from the usual suspects and hope to bump that up to 450/470.
In think the Prodrive springs were 15/20mm lower than the standard sti springs (but don't quote me on that), sold the prodrive springs when I got the AST's I'm afraid.
Sorry for the delay mate, just checked tonight wheels are ET48. Have you tried Revolution in Newcastle. What colour car you got, they look very nice in gunmetal on blue as well. Pictures don't do them justise, look much better in the flesh (but I would say that )

Rare rims have a set of gunmetal 18x8.5" et48 forces coming in on Monday. My car is blue. I damaged two wheels on my car so it has been sitting there for the last two weeks what size/make of tyre are you running?
