Dad shouted me new rubber today! 265/35 RE003’s all round, still a slight stretch on 9.5 wide rims. Might go for 275’s next time round. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just made a post in the Australian 2015+ WRX/STi owners group and got this response. I should’ve checked first - Guess I got lucky. If any other VA chassis owners are curious here’s your answer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Always thought that might be an issue, if that’s the case I’ll get the downpipe modified, just didn’t wanna have my car off the road otherwise I would’ve had a custom one made Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It’s just a number on paper anyway, there’s weight and drag as well, I did a pull race in my stock STi which is meant to be 225kw crank vs a built and tuned 400kw at the wheel JZX90 and I had him off the mark from a 60 roll, he caught up. But I had that moment of “I’m winning”

Awd the power is split front and rear so they show less at the wheel, idk crank power is a personal preference, there’s the argument all dyno’s read differently too. Some in the states show the 2015 STi stock is 200kw at the wheel but then the one posted in this thread is only 150kw at the wheel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ordered a invidia downpipe from the states, gonna get a ecutek remap and dyno tune done when it arrives. Bye bye warranty... but the way I see it if anything was gonna go wrong it would have already Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Damn that looks good, makes me wish I kept my 5th gen LGT. I swear it was quicker than my STi... might've just felt quicker cause it was auto.

I actually don't know if the lightbar is legal or not. It's on it's own switched relay and can be activated with the high beam also. I'm sure it would only be an issue if you were being a dick with it anyway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Your LED turn signal bulbs look good, I'm planing on buying some of the black smoked LED housings from Subispeed along with some puddle lights.
My car doesn't need a WOF for another 2 years but I'll just wire them up to the DRL harness if I own the car at that stage... Probably wouldn't pass WOF anyway cause it's got no mufflers at all... But I've been pulled over plenty of times and gone through cop stops multiple times (They tend to block the road up from the intersection the local group skids at) but they just wave me through... I've had them comment how nice it is and how the exhaust sounds good, not a single complaint. Might just be Hawkes Bay cops that are pretty relaxed. Should be fun if I were to travel out of town though

In America the base model uses a T10 bulb that reflects throughout it. The limited gets a LED board, same as here and to modify it you've gotta resort to the oven method...

Okay well here's my contribution to the car crimes thread. This is my daytime running light setup. All custom wiring, down to the LED C in the headlight. Just ripped the wire out of the headlight plug and put another one in that's connected to a fuse that only receives power in the "ACC" position Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Mostly just bought it for show, it's not much brighter than my highbeam so probably won't even use it at night Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ohhh I got ya, ruining a good car with too much extra crap. Yeah understandable. I thought the lightbar was pretty discrete since it's not stuck on my roof or anything mad hahaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
