FTO AUSTRALIA

Dad sent me some little teasers about 5mins ago its not much but good enough for me

Boot is done finally I have one again haha oh and also template for the caliper mounts

Arms are in and dads taking it for a wheel alignment soon.
Brakes should be done tomorrow or the next day
Got brand new seat coming (hope they make it in time)
Sound system complete
All the new consoles off dstocks are in
Bought both shanes intake pipes goin to test both out with possible dyno to see any changes
Unfortunately no body kit or respray done maybe another time will have my fto in my possession by wednesday night and driving her on thrusday cant wait

Great stuff

Cheers mate ill get lots of pics when I get her back dads been holding out on the info on me trying to surprise me hahaha not long

Starting to have withdrawals

Alrighty then this is the final update for work carried out in 2013

So what got done
Front brake upgrade complete and working running a 324mm x 30mm 33gtr rotor wrx sti 4 pot calipers with bendiex ultimate pads. Dad had to make an adaptor plate to make them work and other little bits but I can actually brake now and well. Plans on rears, yes they will get done as well in time.

Next new suede recaro seats ( no not real unfortunately but cool )
Dad and I use the old runners off the standard seats so they can move forward and back and they can recline as well so that was a win win. Pretty comfortable as I just drove to qld.

All the interior was fixed that studip metal plate dad made for me to replace the stereo surround is gone and thanks to dstocks I have a new one as well as a new floor surround (mine was cracked), new suede steering wheel deep dish 350mm and a carbon fiber gear knob with H pattern. So this was more a tidy up then anything.

I dont know if anyone saw the point at to which my boot got to but it was sh*t not floor no space saver two amps just rolling around no carpet just it was bad now
Dad made a complete new floor as u can see with a cutout of the space saver then cut in half again put hinges on it so I dont have to rip the whole floor up to get to it if need be. Sound system re wired newish amps and sub all back in, new carpet, new battery (yellow top), and a cover for it oh and the battery is held down by velcro strips so its kinda secure :p

Installed rear megan camber and toe arms and replaced a wheel bearing in the drivers side was flogged out

Finally I bought shanes intakes and installed one looks good sounds good just gotta make a plate up to protect it from water if it rains which luckly it hasnt yet

Only thing that didn't get done
Complete dstock body kit and respray (due to dad not having the tools and time)

So thats all for now still more to come in 2014 it will get this kit on and sprayed this yr

Careful you dont hang that air filter too low mate, going over puddles and stuff probably wouldnt do you any good.

Looks awesome! Good work.

Lol at your dad modding you car for you

Looks good but, brakes are cool

yeah as stated Dan I am being careful due to that fact

Sahin he did it for me while I was away and training I did help with the brakes interior and seats rest was him

Personally I'd actually just shorten the intake rather than putting a plate there. If you go through a deep puddle (theres a few that are around my area when it rains) then its better off being high rather than shielded. Just a suggestion, Phil did the same thing. Whatever tickles your pickle

Cheers mate ill keep that in mind

Yeah thats an awesome mod, well done.

yeah it was a prick of a job I just want the rears done now hahaha

Looks great, very jealous of the brakes!
Seats look quite comfy too!

It all looks great.....AAA+
Your Dad is a good man

Will buy off you for 1000 dorras and a set of 14" steelies in the shed?

I dont think so ill do an add later but all spare parts I have will be going with it example full dstock spec body kit

Wish I had the cash for the whole car! GL when it comes time.

Cheers mate
