So 2.5 months ago I got into an accident and had my car fixed and completed redone. Check it out let me know what you think. I still have more upgrades to do. It is the same car just better!!!
My little girl loves this car!
My boy was driving and the tire blew he hit the median. But I am so happy with my white girl!
My little girl was so sad and so was daddy.
SHE LOVES THE MAKE OVER!!! AND SO DOES DADDY!!! Pearl blue with overlay of pearl wicked white. In the moon and sun it looks amazing!
Red Demon Eyes.
Carbon Fiber Hood
Roof and Trunk painted jet black. I will upgrade to duckbill down the road.
AGP 3.5" Intercooler. I will post pictures of the engine bay later.
Haha thanks! Wheels are Volk Racing CE28N 18 x 9.5 +15. Currently have 255/35/18 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500’s. The reason they are 255s is because I purchased them used; I believe the guy who had them before me ran them on an Evo 8/9. Once these wear down I’ll get some 265/35s for a bit more of a proper fitment (255s are a bit stretched on a 9.5 rim).
Car currently sits on DSG-Edition Fortune Auto 500s with 9K/9K Swifts. Not quite sure how much of a drop it is from stock as its been about 6 years since I’ve had a stock suspension lol. (Previous coilovers were Ohlins). I did a quick measurement from the ground to the bottom of the fender and it was about 25 1/8” in the front and 25 3/8” in the rear.

those are the same wheels and tire specs I want to get as well! CE28N either mag blue or whatever blue the 311rs evo from Ryan gates is using! It’s great to see something similar to my future goals! You said you had ohlin coil overs before the fa500. Why the change? I was looking at ohlin as well. So I’m curious to see what you like more or what you didn’t like.
Also, when you get the 265 tires post more pics! Aha

Nice! The blue CE28s on the 311RS is pretty awesome too. I thought about doing mag blue but I’ve always been partial to bronze on a white car.
Ohlins were awesome, definitely better than the FAs. FAs are pretty good don’t get me wrong but the difference between the two are noticeable. Honestly the main reason why I sold them was due to the cost of a future rebuild (~$1100-1200 to rebuild the set whereas FAs can be rebuilt for around 300-400).

I’ve gone back and forth with blue or bronze rims but I think since there’s too many Subaru’s around me where I live I’m not trying to get crap from them. Haha. Granted it does look really clean on a white car. Maybe I’ll do bronze AND blue. Who knows. We’ll see.
the rebuild pricing makes a lot of sense then. Smart move.
Also, just noticing the front lip you have. What brand is it?

I just have installed my new replacement wheels, and tires, brake parts to finish the big over haul with my car. 50K miles after i bought it brand new. Runs like a champ!
Has all the fluids replaced , i mean ALL. Including diffs , transmissions you name it. New Clutch, AMS MC, bushings, I even changed the head unit to Androind 8.0 lololol , wheel aligmnet etc etc.
the car is amazing. i am loving it , every minute when i have a chance to drive it. here is some pics about the final steps.

How does the car feel on a square setup for coilovers? I've always wonder if that's good or bad to run 9K front and rear. On my STI I have 10k front and 8K in the rear and now since I just recently picked up my Evo I'm shopping for coilovers.
