So far here's what she looks like. I'll be finishing the decals within a month or so. Wheels are getting done next week. I've got Speedline ST2s in store

NICE.......... 555 V LTD

Decals attract mixed opinions on here, but done right and faithful to the original they will be good.

Must admit, i took all the graphics off mine. the paint was shocking underneath !

555 colour looks awesome though if in great condition....

I'm trying to do a complete replica of N1WRC though. A bit of a personal touch.

Myles · 06 February 2012, 20:20

well I've got no engine mods done, only handling. BC Racing Coilovers bought from Scoobyworx. Great difference.
I've also got Whiteline lateral links and a Whiteline rear anti-roll bar. I'll be doing more as time goes by. Kinda budgetting every month. It's gonna be a long trip to the final result but worth every minute and all the struggle.
I try to work on it myself as much as I can, which is not easy, I've no premises and I'm no mechanic lol

in my opinion, sort handling first.... then go forward

that's exactly my opinion too buddy. I'll be fitting a front arb and whiteline droplinks all round eventually. I had slammed her right down when I fitted the coilies but had a couple scrapes underneath so I raised her now. Lost that awesome slammed down look but better be safe than sorry !!
Not sure about adding much more power but i will definitely invest in a newage sti tmic to replace mine. In fact all engine work I'll be doing will be replacing parts with new, not really upgrading.
I'm more interested in handling, look and interior comfort and mods at the moment.
