How's the rest of the drivetrain hold up with that kind of HP?

 

Its holding up fine and can hold upto 350-400whp. As gearbox is of the same engine and differential is off 2008 Sti.

 

Changing my wheels and suspension setup

First wheels, did a test fitment




Rear seems to be aggressive, air suspension might take care of it or some big fender rolling lol



Wheels and KW V3 will go on sale soon anyone interested let me know

 

thought u were selling this ride

 

thats awesome man. what are the specs on those wheels. that rear wheel looks pretty wide

 

The rears actually look very close to where mine sit at full droop, so they should tuck up in there nicely with some negative camber and fender liner trimming. I'm running 285's on mine in the rear with around -2.7° camber.

Also curious to know what exhaust you are running?

 

These are 19" I think front is 9 +35 and rear 10 +20. I would be using it as a daily so cant go that much negative but thinking of installing some fender flare JDM style

Adrain exhaust is Tanabe i think same as yours

 

what size is your rear wheels im trying to go for the fat tire look also

 

I use mine as a daily driver and as long you've got your toe set correctly the tires will wear perfectly, even with -2.7 rear camber. Mine wear evenly accross the entire section width of the tire and I can get about 25K+ miles out of a set of rears even with ~500HP!

Yup, I'm running the Tanabe too, although I've had mine cut up and modified to mate up to the Invidia resonated mid-pipe and X-Pipe. I asked because I'm thinking of switching the exhaust, but want something with a similar look. I might just end up with another Tanabe, but keep the factory mid-pipe/resonators this time. Who knows?...

My rear wheels are 20 x 10.5". I originally had 275/30R20's on them, but they were streched a little too much for my liking. Am now running 285/30R20 Potenza RE760's and really like them. Would love to go to 295's for my next set, but there are not enough choices in that size right now.

 

Hello Docaam just a quick question where did you get your car painted ? im from Dubai i was hoping you can tell me the shop name or something. and if by any chance you remember the price

thanks

 

Whoa, sickest color ever for this car. Looks absolutely amazing.

 

offset in the 40's i presume

 

I have already extracted 25K miles within last one year off my rear ones and was running on -1.9 camber seems like would need changing as inner wall is slightly less . I am running 275/30/20s on it and loved the little bit of stretch look as its sets up the stance perfectly.

I would love the hear the Tanabe mixed with Invidia, as I installed custom Y pipe with 3"IN to 2.5"out and little bit roar is there but wouldnt mind little more maybe will change the mid pipe as well, its just police is really strict in my car for sedan, I got away easily in my 370z with FI& Indivia with even ART test pipes but sedan they give problems a lot

Hello Alaa, I painted the car in Al Quoz Dubai. I do paint jobs slightly different way, like on my 240z or 370z. I buy all the material myself which does increase the usual price but worth the money spent.

Usual charges for them are around 5-6k dh, buying paint yourself will be 4k and materials are for 3.5-4k, as I usually do four coats of clearcoat and a little bit of wet sanding between it to give a clear finish, which both increases the cost and finish

 

hi docaam thanks for the reply. holly crap 15k for painting lol... well to be honest its worth it. and for people wondering whats 15k dhs that around 4000 US dollars

 

$4K US for a good paint job is cheap... Here theyll run at least 8K or more for a good whole car color change.

New rims look great... Are they mounted yet!?!? Get pics up already.....
