Kevin's 2011 Satin White Pearl STi Sedan Progress Thread

KevinC91 · 10-01-2012, 10:35 AM

Hey guys, now that I've had the car about a year now I figured I'd go ahead and post up what I've got.

Mods so far:
BC BR Type Coilovers (Extreme Lows)
Invidia N1 Race exhaust
Perrin CAI
Had an HT Autos front lip but while my girlfriend's dad was driving the car it got ripped off.
18x10.5 +38 Enkei PF01s with 255/35 18 Hankook Ventus V12 tires

Looking to get a new front lip soon, probably not HT Autos, and GT Spec LCAs.

TL;DR.
Pics:

Had a track day at VIR in it. I still drive on track but not in this car. Dad and I share a track car.

Before lip destruction

And currently:

Instagram. Only camera I have now is my iPhone.

Thanks for looking, let me know what you think!

VTSubieRS · 10-01-2012, 02:53 PM

This. I don't rub or scrape very much. Then again I would if I didn't know how to navigate with a lowered car.

I don't hit road reflectors, so it could be lower haha.

Thanks guys!

Which is the plan for the future. I haven't decided which front or sides, but the new HT Autos rear diffuser is definitely something I'm going to do.

This is the slight change from gravel to pavement on the road I live on.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

GoSloTurbo · 10-01-2012, 05:41 PM

looks perfect!

KevinC91 · 10-01-2012, 05:59 PM

Thanks!

As soon as it stops raining I'm going to clean it up.

smiththrs · 10-01-2012, 08:00 PM

LOL, I cant wait till you destroy your cars front end on an uneven road.

LOL ROFL

KevinC91 · 10-01-2012, 08:18 PM

Haha you'd be surprised at how uneven the roads are where I live. And how that's never happened while I'm driving.

smiththrs · 10-01-2012, 09:03 PM

I'm just saying you have gone to great lengths and spent a generous amount of money on something that will more than likely lead to you buying a new front end. Watch those curbs dawg.

KevinC91 · 10-01-2012, 10:04 PM

Yeah, and I'm aware of that haha it's okay I accept the risk.

I'm a function over form kind of guy, but your comment is pointless. You really can't wait until he destroys his front end, and you laughed out loud about it?
Kevin, nice car and nice choice on wheels. With meatier tires your car would look mean!

Thanks! I only ran the 255/35s because I want to be at this ride height for now. It's only a street car and I really like how it looks. However, if I begin doing HPDEs in this car again, of course I will raise it and get meatier tires. I'm a form and function guy haha.

patrick10 · 10-01-2012, 10:51 PM

With the 255's, did you roll fenders in preparation or not roll at all? And what are your camber settings?

rears are rolled pretty much flat and the fronts are untouched. The camber is around -3.5 or more in the front. I need to get it realigned with LCAs so I can adjust rear camber. Naturally it's sitting at above -4 last time I checked.

KevinC91 · 10-24-2012, 04:01 PM

Speaking of LCAs, these are going on this weekend. Thanks to Derek at Alpha Motorsports. Great guy, great shop!

KevinC91 · 10-28-2012, 07:45 PM

Done! Finally a non-iPhone picture.

I dont have the balls to go that low, nice ride.

KevinC91 · 10-28-2012, 07:57 PM

Thanks man. It really isn't that bad, just gotta be conscious of what you're driving over lol
