Well it has been a busy winter and a while since I posted anything about the car.

I have been up to a few things:

Recently repainted the Wheels to an even brighter orange, they were actually fading to a peach colour so now they have their pop back.

I have ordered a CS Style side skirt and rear spat kit which should arrive next week for a little extra exterior finishing. This pic isnt my car obviously but shows the skirt installed so you get the idea.....

I also had a difficult time trying to find replacment rotors for my Wilwood BBK. As this is a slightly older kit made by Revolouton Brake the rotors are not a standard Wilwood fitment. Luckily Allan (thanks!) put me in touch with Kevin at RB and we are working to find a good replacment set. Also on the brake front I have purchased a set of prototype 09WRX front brake cooling ducts and backing plates from Josh and should have them soon, I will post up pics of the install as I go along

Apart from that I also have tidied up the engine bay a bit and replaced the green battery for a more colour suitable one, added a Perrin rad shroud and a GS turbo blanket for a little extra bling, its not like I am keeping a top mount cool lol.

In final news Dom is scheduled to fly out in April and retune the car for the pond water we call gas here and get the meth back up and running, should be just in time for the first local "Defrost" meet of the season. I have been pretty busy organising events etc for the Subaru car club that myself and a few other run (RSOC), we are now up to 140 members which is a pretty big deal for a smaller place like this. Excited for what this summer will bring!
