2004.7 V2 Starts post 111 "Lucille" by Got2boostit2
Before image
After images. Changed struts, hubs, knuckles, rear lateral links to 2007 STi parts, street wheels for this year will be Enkei RPF1's with the 5 x 114.3 Gold BBS wheels being the track wheels this year. Love the change looking forward to experiencing some track days. Once I complete the 24 remaining items on the "list". Not as wicked as others here, but respectable in my mind. Not a daily driver, but still a great car to have, mildly mod and enjoy. Listed below in green is by far the best improvement you could make to an STI . Q-rack above all of the improvements this should be done first.Completed 9-2011 @ ~ 17k miles Improvement list: Brakes Brake fluid (ATE blue or Motul 600) Ferodo 2500 brake pads Perfomance Friction PFC-01 Frt brake pads SS Brake lines Cusco Master Cyl Brace TIC Titanium Brake Shims RCE Brake Cooling Ducts Roo Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Ducts Post 320 Drivetrain ACPT Carbon Fiber Driveshaft Grp-N Trans mount Engine Stock VF39 Aluminum Battery Bracket-Paradigm Performance PC680 Oddysey Battery Carbon Fiber Intercooler screen Carbon Fiber Fuse & Alternator Cover Carbign Craft radiator shroud Walbro Fuel pump Grimmspeed Phenolic Intake Gaskets K&N Typhoon w/oversize filter NGK Iridium 1 Step Colder Spark Plugs Ported Throttle Body Stock Ported Header Lightweight Pulley Autospeed TGV Delete Paradigm Performance Killer B Oil pickup Crawford AO Seperator(updated V2 April 10) Process West Oil cooler Grp N Engine mounts Exhaust Turbo back exhaust (helix downpipe-Invidia G200 N1 Street catback) Exterior Car Cover Covercraft Aluminum fender braces Autospeed Blk Sti frt plate Delete Hella horns Hood Struts Tein Frt Lip Carbon Fiber Blue wheel opening mld (2) JDM Frt Bumper beam 8/4/11 Beatrush frt/rear tow hooks painted Cherry blossom red 8/3/11 New Rear bumper cover '07 style Interior Auto intercooler spray switch Defi Gauges (used) Oil temp, Oil pressure, Boost Triple Defi gauge pod Defi Gauge (new) Exhaust Temp -9-2011 AEM A/F gauge (new) 9-2011 Defi coolant temp gauge (new) 9-2011 3 gauge A pillar pod 9-2011 Sti Black Flr mat(2) Harness bar Sparco 5 Point Harness(2) Sparco Homelink IRV mirror JDM Emerg Flasher Sti sill plates Window Tint Autospeed dead pedal Trailer hitch (sold Feb 10) Carlabs X-Brace Suede Strg Whl Misc Battery Tender Battery Charger Sti Black Cluster clock (home office) Subaru gear, STi Computer bag, hats, shirts, etc Various STi model cars Speed rings DL1- Data Logger Chasecam w/ two bullet cameras split screen processor Suspension Camber plates Racecomp NL with stock struts and RCE Bronze/Yellow Springs (on shelf for b/u) Frt/rr strut bars ebay(removed-sold Sept- '09) Kart boy rear endlinks Powdercoat Strano bar (never installed-sold '06) TIC Rear Bushings (7-7-10) with lock bolt (not installed as yet) Whiteline 22/24 FSB (removed sold '06) Whiteline 27/29mm FSB Whiteline frt sperical endlinks Whiteline frt steering bushing Whiteline RCA kit 9-15-11 Hardened Frt Lwr Control Arm Bushing Whiteline RSB 22/24 07 Struts, hubs, rotors, converted to 5x114.3 hubs (July '09) RCE T2 Coilovers w/Vorshlag Camber Plates (used)(July '10) RCE Bump Stops (in frt stock '07 struts) Whiteline Adj lateral links, boxed trailing arms(boxed rear installed 7-7-10) TIC Rear Trailing Link Bushing 8/3/11 Q-Rack steering gear 11.5:1 steering ratio 9-16-11 completed (toe set etc) Transmission Cobb short shifter Kart boy frt bushing Kart boy rear stay TIC pivot bushing Sti Titanium shift knob (round) Tuning Cobb AP V1 Protuned to 271 whp / 411 wtq by Doug from Topspeed @ Pure Tuning Toledo Wheel/Tire Azenis(4) mount/bal (removed sold June '09) (4) Enkei 17 x 8.5 5 x 114.3 RPF1 Silver 40 offset Enkei 17 x 8.5 5 x 114.3 RPF1 Silver (New) (that's right two sets of RPF-1's) Bridgestone RE01R P245/40/17 Hub rings (Z1-new) Nitto NT-01 (used 245/45/17) - Gold BBS 17 x 8.5 Nitto NT-01 new 255/40/17 8/5/11 * Items in Red are awaiting install or change

I know that some may not see this as a "major" mod or upgrade but that's good work. Looks great.
Oh and with the 5x114s they do make a killer 17x9 RPF fitment that would look stunning on your STI. What's near term on your list? |

Question and forgive me if i sound dumb, but the 04 STi has a 5x100 bolt pattern, not 5x114 correct? if so then why do you have 114 bbs lol? Did you swap the bolt pattern some how and if so details please lol . Only asking because i own a 04 sti.

He changed the hubs to the 114.3 so that's why his BBS's are 114.3

Is there any benefit to this? I thought the only way that was possible was with a adapter and apparently that would take away from performance. Yea im a wheel noob . Sorry for the noob questions and sorry for a somewhat off topic post. The car looks great though man and i love those wheels. Used to seeing them on time attack cars with huge rubber

Thanks for the compliments. Eliminating pad knockback at track days and having a better selection of wheels is the reason for my conversion. The difference in the size of the front knuckle along with having bolt in front bearings is enough to justify the conversion IMHO of course.
I was able to source parts removed from a 2007 STI so I only had to buy the 6Gun adapter for the ABS tone ring. Oh, and reselling my '04 parts pretty much paid for the conversion parts. All labor was free (performed by my old arse). Here are some conversion threads: [/font] 6Gun site And Javid of 6Gun Racing's thread on why you would want to change are in the first two thread links below. Read to your hearts content.

Gauges, engine oil cooler, ACPT carbon driveshaft, some ported parts, suede steering wheel, pitch stop, some harder bushings, Car Lab X-brace and a hitch to tow my "R" comps to the track. Oh and for the others who've commented I love the gold BBS wheels the best, but really like the Enkei's. The wheels are 8.5" wide and have RE01R tires 245/40/17. (thanks Tire Rack) |
