    Did you take off the roof rails? It looks really clean.

    actually I didn't have to, the guy before me did and I have no real need for them right now so I just left them off.

    hey demo, what size piping did you use? i was thinking of doing something like that to mine. let me know if you want to get the side rails for your wagon. i still have mine and will never use them.

    honestly I don't know. Just some left over dryer vent tubing we had sitting around, so I decided to stick it in my car. If you want I can go out and measure it later.

    As for the rails, thanks but I actually still have mine :)

    Nope, pretty clean actually. They packaged it weird though. They kind of cut the original box in half and then found a smaller one that fit inside it but over the bars. Oddly they didn't tape it, but somehow it managed to get here alright.

    Thanks!

    as for the dryer tube. Bascially I took my air intake silencer out and then I thought "hmm, lets connect the two remaining pieces". So I stuck some dryer tubing in there to act as a sort of cold air intake of sorts. However I realised that it was getting a little bit damp, and also I think it probably roughed up the air coming in due to the ridges. So I took it out, and now its back to stock. :wiggle:

    Updates!!


    Well with the help of Ped :)bowdown:) I finally got some springs installed. Sadly all did not go to plan.

    This is what I was planning on installing:

    This is what I ended up getting installed:

    In first picture there those are STi adjustable struts. 4 adjustment settings which probably would have been pretty damn fun! Sadly it turned out that those are actually for an 05+ STI, not the 04 as believed when I bought them. :wtc: So sometime soon they will be for sale.

    I'll get updated pics of the lowered car when it stops raining.


    However the good news is that I picked up some items today that just might make up for the loss of struts

    What your looking at there are BBS RG-R's, 17x7, forged, and they weigh practically nothing! Thank you "FACE" for posting that Craigslist ad! Otherwise I would have settled for Rota SDR's. Can't wait to put some RE-01R's on those suckers and go around corners at infinite speeds :ddirty:
