we should see our first ones very very soon

 

Unfair how they get black brembo's.

 

Wheel locks from the factory. Is that new?

 

just painted black

 

hmm painted? weird.

 

Did you think that Brembo brakes are cast with a dye in the metal to turn them gold or red? Just blast any set and repaint them, it's not hard.

 

No, but they may be powdercoated instead of painted.

 

black brembo = hawntess. will have to keep my scavenging eyes open for a set.

 

This man makes an excellent point. I believe that they're painted, but given how many sets are chipped in some way or another on NASIOC, I assumed that they were.

 

i wish i could just buy a brand new wrx when it came out, then buy a brand new sti when it came out.

doohhh

 

powder coating isnt a great option for calipers...they get to hot and the powder coat will eventually crack. the best option that you cant do would be to put a thermal dispersant on the calipers so the air "sucks" the heat out...but the dispersant wont hold up to that heat either.

 

ya know the front end on this thing isnt that bad except for the grille. if you remove that plasticy white piece it might actually look half way decent.



also take out all the black plastic stuff, and run a MASSIVE FMIC the whole width of the car.

 

yeah that nose pic was the only one i liked out of the group

 

damn... I think I may have to really really be nice to the wife... gotta get me a white one

 

mmmm, i need to get good job after next semester

 

ok, ill finally admit it. I like it....i like it alot

 

tail lights still need to go.

 

still alot with the car i am really not a fan of, we shall see how it grows on me like the last gen did

 

As I recall there were calls for the head of the designer when the 06s came out. Now look at all the fanboys! Kee Kee Kee!

 

IIRC the guy that designed the 06s (alfa romea guy) lost his job.

this is the first year on the new chassis so we will see how it goes. there are some definate improvements that can make. if it gets worse the new guy should be canned

 

omg fenders are s0o0 sexy

 

245s stock

 

1999 called, they want their tail lights back.

 

I've seen a couple '08s running around lately. The tails looks really good at night (when you can only see the LED's), but god awful during the day.
