Well decided a bit ago to keep my RS and just put some fun stuff on it, here are the mods I have gotten, only thing I'm still waiting for is the COBB CAI. kartboy short throw shifter and bushings: borla headers: COBB rear CAD plated and slotted rotors: Powerslot slotted front rotors: Axxis ultimate front and rear street pads and Motul break fluid: Big thanks to Steve-0 for the hook up on these Go Fast Bits lightweight crank and alternator pulleys: Last but not least Rota Tarmac II's with Kumho ECSTA Supra 712, about 4000 miles on them: I just got the wheels mounted today and with the rain thiese were the best pics I could get.Unfortunately I had tires plus put the wheels on, I hate that place, they ordered the wrong lugs and managed to strip a stud or two that they then replaced. I'll try and get some more pics of the wheels on the car when it gets nice out.
Your front wheels will soon be black. I've got Axxis Ulitmates on the front and they're fantastic pads but they dust like mad. I don't mind having black front wheels though )
Thanks guys! I'd like to do a few suspension bits next but I think this will have to do for a while, I still don't have all of the stuff installed yet.
Got the COBB CAI in, HUGE thanks to bikerboy (Matt) for figuring it out and installing it for me! COBB was nice enough to ship the CAI without any instructions at all, bastards. I've noticed the difference with it already; low end seems a bit peppier. The engine really screams now with RPM's over 4K

That is now the 3rd set (at least) locally... Which color gray, Gunmetal, Charcoal, or Steel? I have the Steel Gray for my winter tires on the STi and they serve as race wheels on the RS...

Also, I have Powerslot rotors on both ends of the RS, but I run Porterfield R4S pads for AutoX (and street)... enjoy!
Sweet!! Thanks man. How are those pads, I've noticed that the dust with the axxis pads are pretty bad like everyone else mentioned. The nice thing though about the steel grey is it hides the dust well.

If my memory serves me correct, when I did drive them more often the dust was actually quite reasonable (it rode on the stock '00 RS rims until this year so the dust showed). Oh...and I love the pads! I also run on the R4 compound on the track, they dust like mad! (Yes, I realize they are track pads so they do dust!) You don't know how good you have it, even with the Ultimates! :mrgreen:
Lookin nice. I see some resemblance to under my hood I did my intake after I already had my catback on there and with those two working together I really started to feel some nice power. Nice sound also
