Fellow UGM limited here. Car looks amazing. I want that steering wheel!

Picked up this genuine JDM STi keyring. Black with red stitching will go well with the interior!

I just noticed that you dont have STi stitched in the seat either. Not like you have stock seats now anyway haha.

New seats have arrived. I had JPM coachworks work some magic on them

In the meantime, I installed the COBB SF Intake and Maddad 3" TBE system. Car is slightly less loud than when I had an Invidia N1 Street CBE, but has full turboback. I think the noise level is almost perfect, just need to reduce cabin noise from trunk slightly. Aiming for the luxury feel.

I got a street tune so no dyno numbers, but the car runs great and pulls much stronger. I also installed launch control and flat foot shifting, sounds sick! Ill try to post a video soon.

Some pics;







My car at Chipracing in Switzerland, some of the best tuners in the country for Subies! Have a feeling ill be there more often soon... Already so used to stage II

The fronts are for drafting. Or parking I suppose. I love this car btw.

The 2 front pieces are to clean the headlights, a requirement in Switzerland. The rear black pieces are back up sensors, which are useless and look like crap.

I'll be getting a new bumper soon anyway w/ sensors to go with the HKS diffuser as this one is pretty beat up.

Loving the interior mods! If you don't mind, where did you get the carbon fiber interior pillars?

Keep up the great work!!

Andy Or aka 'orwrx' on IWSTI made them for me.

I was talking to a friend of mine and he mentioned that now with the lack of badges and molded trunk the rear was looking a little bland.

I’ve been thinking to put an STi badge again on the rear, but have a few options in mind…

1) 08 STi badge
2) Black & silver STi badge
3) Red STi badge
4) Stock Pink STi badge
5) No badge

What shall I do?

[jetspeed]

I say match your front grille emblem or the black & gray one.

[xbeamelite]

def stock pink if your front is stock

[Swift2]

Filling up at the pump, luckily I get 100 Octane everyday

[Swift2]

I just got word that the seats are installed!!!

Can't wait to get back to Switzerland to check it all out.

In the meantime, picked up 2 more JDM parts.
