RSutton's 2011 SSM WRX Hatch Progress

Beautiful....

 

Wow that paint job really brings out the curves of the body

 

yep looks sick man. I had no doubts.

 

I hate it.






:hahano:

 

So with a new color, do you have to reregister the car?

 

I think you should do something similar. :naughty:

Decrease air intake temps.

Nope. As Matt said...it is still silver-ish. Depends on what lighting it is in! I don't think you have to reregister cars for paint jobs anyway. I could be wrong though.

 

Looks fantastic robb, great choice

I'm thinking of going to bryson for some paint work when i get back

thats the first i've ever heard of re-registering for color

 

Dont pay attention to him. He has constant sand in his Mangina. Hence why he has a pic of a pink Mazda 3 as his profile pic. It was funny like 2 years ago when he first put in there now it just looks like he is an immature ass.

 

It was a joke and Robb knows it.

 

girls... STFU!

 

Maybe a stupid question but would you wash and wax this the same way you would regular paint?

 

LOL...I could only think of this post when I saw wagunz pwn post.

 

I'll replace the Mazda with Drew's quote...just for you.

 

You guys are funny.

You just wash it. Nothing else. Really durable and super easy to take care of.

 

I started work this morning on cleaning up the engine bay. After the motor build and wreck...it needed some touch up. I added the Grimmspeed black turbo heat shield...some new silicone couplers and made sure everything was routed the way I wanted it to be. Next up is to hide some more wires and get my dress up pieces in.

The next updates will be all of the audio work. There has been a lot done in that area over the past two days.

 

I'd love to see you try to reproduce a shot with the old paint for a side by side.

 

i did the same thing on mine, i just wish there was a better way to tuck the wires in these ugly-ass bays. over a grand into stainless braided lines and tucking as many wires as possible, it still looked retarded.

somebody would make a killing if they could figure out a way to successfully and efficiently hide all the crap in that bay. It has such good potential with the visibility of all the working components, too. Interested to see what it ends up looking like down the road for you

 

I think Ferrari has made the only nice looking boxer, Porsche and VW hid as much as they could under cooling tins and body work

 

lel

Paint looks pretty amazing Robb. Congrats on getting it to look even better than before.

 

We really do have crappy looking engine bays. There is just too much stuff everywhere. I don't know how much I am going to be able to clean it up...but I am going to try.

 

D is happy the car is back.

 

Finished up the dyno, wreck, paint video.

Very Nice Video! Your attention to detail, determination, and patience with your car definitely shows. This car is a perfect example of what a WRX should be. So what it doesn't have the biggest HP numbers, HeLLUHfLusH, or some cracked out wacked out paintjob. You took a great vehicle and made it phenomenal. One of my favorite 3G WRX's of all and is an inspiration for me in tuning mine...

 

Thanks man. Comments like that really mean a lot.

 

Very well said. It's hard to find that line between tasteful and completely ridiculous. Nice job sir your ride is amazing.

 

Thanks. We'll have to see what you guys think of the new additions when they come in...new front lip, side skirts and rear wing.

 

OEM color no doubt....lol

It does indeed look absolutely amazing. makes me want to think twice about doing all the work to re-paint mine. I wanna see how the heavy pearl flakes turned out in person though. I'm sure its immaculate, but none the less....a treat for our eyes and your enjoyment. great job with it!

 

Mounted the controller for my RF three.sixty.3 audio processor.

Best looking Subaru that I've ever seen. Left fog out?

 

your other left

 

New DP netted my final numbers to 414/406 today.

 

congratulations!

 

Thanks! The car feels incredible right now. Doug did an awesome job with the tune. For the first time in awhile (thanks to that wreck)...I really didn't want to get out of my car today. It was a great feeling.

 

It really sucks when others ruin your fun.

 

Pumped robb!!!
That is really good numbers, I can't imagine how fun it is to drive since that's basically twice what i'm probably putting down to the wheels lol.

HOWEVER!

Appointment @ 9 tomorrow with the gentlemen of TSM.
gonna make an appearance?

 

I'm planning on it!

 

You think you only make 212/203?
Me thinks you will be shocked with the Stage 2 results from a TSM tune.

 

Well i'm only cobb OTS stage 1 + SF intake, so i'm probably like 280 to the wheels, MAYBE.
Might very well hit 380 today who knows.

That will be a surprise lol, 100 more ft/lb ? Be impossible not to notice that.

 

You'll be really surprised to see how much of a change our cars make at stage 2 protune. It is pretty nuts.

 

yummy torque!

 

doug mis-spelled your name in the map filename :sx:

 

very nice numbers love the tq.
