DHGurs's 2010 STi

[DHGurs]

I found a picture of some brotato driving my car at the last event.

car looks sexy on 17s :)

[DHGurs]

Since CES happened last week, and I found out what Pioneer's new line's all about, I decided to order last year's AVHP3300BT, the deciding factor was 4V pre-outs.

http://s3.images.drive2.ru/car.journal.photos/x1/0400/000/000/03f/13a/88ce07b4d1080f4a-large.jpg

I tried to get most of the other things I would need:

12 sq ft. of Dynamat Xtreme
Dash Kit (only for the mounting tabs)
Wiring harness
Steering wheel control
Dynatape (Dynamat tape)

The few things I still need are tweeter mounts from Boston Acoustics, some wiring, and someone to install it all. :devil:

[98Wagoon]

Can we drive around, listening to raps, and shooting all the jobs?

[Berge56]

I need to get a new radio.

[-III]

I know a guy who installs

[2007st3]

Install is cake in these cars. I have a fit kit if u didn't already order one.

[DHGurs]

Can we drive around, listening to raps, and shooting all the jobs?

YES! :lol:

I need to get a new radio.

It's been long overdue, the SE comes with the 17k Impreza radio.

I know a guy who installs

I'm already in talks with an ex co-worker from Tweeter. I know Gyung, lucipha, and axis all have the abilities if he can't.

Install is cake in these cars. I have a fit kit if u didn't already order one.

I ordered it yesterday damnit. It's gonna be in the double din panel, so I won't be using half of it anyway. The radio part is fairly easy, the speakers and amp, not so much.

[2007st3]

The speakers and amp, not so much.


If you're going to go it alone or just want someone to stand and drink beer I'm in. Did a few vehicles in the past. Got me thinking of doing my speakers too.

[Seraphinwolf]

Speakers and amps are easy too... Actually amps are probably the easiest part...It's figure out how each dash comes apparat that's the hard part.

[lucipha]

I'm already in talks with an ex co-worker from Tweeter. I know Gyung, lucipha, and axis all have the abilities if he can't.

I could use the practice, if you like leftover parts. :hide:

[DHGurs]

Oil change, lip removed, and wax done today. Ready for the snow-x on Sunday. Mother nature appears to be on our side too.

Record some vids !!! :D

[Berge56]

Looks so naked!

[DHGurs]

I know. It's so clean though. It hasn't been waxed in WAAAY too long.

Hopefully some vids are taken, I can't wait. :bacon:

[-III]

Spin out car 111

[DHGurs]

No spin outs yesterday. Many good videos to come. Got 2nd place behind ekats99 for the fastest time in AWD.

Also these were waiting for me at work today:

[DHGurs]

Oh hello!

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp315/DHGURS/2012-01-23_20-39-02_854.jpg

I will be possibly be installing this with the brake bypass, steering wheel controls (hopefully), and double din panel. I still need a few more pieces from Boston Acoustics to finish that part up, but I want to play with it.

Killer B!

They killed killer, B!

Gury!!!! Your tire pressure is low!



All winter and track time. **** spending $150 on sensors, I always have a gauge anyway.

[-III]

I can get them for less

[Berge56]

Oh
All winter and track time. **** spending $150 on sensors, I always have a gauge anyway.


I hear ya Gary. The wifes Legacy has the TPS light on all winter as well.

[Subyspeed]

Nice radio Gurry. I cant wait to hear your new system

:fap:

[DHGurs]

**** aftermarket sensors, for $100 it's not worth it.

I hear ya Gary. The wifes Legacy has the TPS light on all winter as well.

My Legacy too. :lol:

Nice radio Gurry. I cant wait to hear your new system

:fap:

Me neither, I may just throw the deck in for now till I can get up a time to get the rest professionally installed.

[Subyspeed]

You should ! Those stock radios suck le balls

[shtbxr22]

**** aftermarket sensors, for $100 it's not worth it.



My Legacy too. :lol:

See me about tpms stuff gary....

[Simple Skillz]

I have mines on since the day i bought the car.. and 150 bucks for the sensors? i'll pass.

[DHGurs]

Radio goes in Friday. :bacon:

[hhn967]

[Berge56]

Nice vids Gary.

[hhn967]

That looks really fun, where was this event held at?

[DHGurs]

Loudon, NH @ NHMS, there's another one on Feb 19th too.

[DHGurs]

Pioneer installed successfully. Double DIN panel, bluetooth mic, steering wheel controls and ebrake bypass all work.

Huge sound improvement on the stock speakers, can't wait to install the real speakers.

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp315/DHGURS/2012-01-27_16-27-17_14.jpg

[Subyspeed]

That looks great Gary

When we going for a cruise so I can hear this ish?

[DHGurs]

Whenever. I'm probably staying in tonight, just waiting for Janiak to come by.

[Subyspeed]

Nice nice, tell him i said hi

are you watching a mtn bike video?

[DHGurs]

Of course! The kid who installed all the stuff is lv4sndz on Bustedspoke. He's a Highland regular and his garage had at least 20 bikes in it. :eek:

[Nemesis]

nice... im def coming for a spin this year with ya... take it wasy on this old man...

[06ImprezaWRXSTi]

Absolutely love Pioneer double din's...Had one on my dads trailblazer but sold it. I want to get one for my WRX.

[Berge56]

Looks great Gary!

[DHGurs]

nice... im def coming for a spin this year with ya... take it wasy on this old man...

:lol: Yes! I'm fiending for Highland, and I'll be 30 this year, I'm the old man...

Absolutely love Pioneer double din's...Had one on my dads trailblazer but sold it. I want to get one for my WRX.

It's pretty awesome. The new ones are even cheaper, but they go from 4V to 2V pre-outs, so I snatched up the old one. The interface is awesome, and I may eventually get the add on NAV.

Looks great Gary!

This is the longest I've had a car with a stock stereo, it was long over due. We're gonna tweak how it sits when we go back in to install the rest so it will look mo' betta.

[DHGurs]

Did this today!

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp315/DHGURS/2012-02-02_08-25-15_1-1.jpg

Notes: Car has been tuned since 900 miles seen over 20 driving events and has had no knock, no timing pulled, and no issues. Averaged about 18mpg since I bought it

My other Evo IX Recaro will be here on Saturday, it is in better shape than my existing one, so it will become the driver's seat and I'll switch the other one over to passenger duty.

Notes on stereo: Been loading up music on SD cards, which is pretty awesome. Ipod control is better than any other stereo I've used and the Bluetooth is easier to use than any OEM system. Steering wheel controls work like factory. Highly recommend!

[jwebsta32]

Thats a little fast for a school zone.....

[-III]

Your tires need air, and traction.

[Berge56]

Nice! I'm Jelly of your seats.

[DHGurs]

Thats a little fast for a school zone.....

It was actually in the school parking lot, there are no speed limit signs in there sucker!

Your tires need air, and traction.

They have air, just no sensors, and I always turn off traction control, it sucks.

Nice! I'm Jelly of your seats.

They are amazing, possibly the single best mod I've done. After driving 5 hours in OEM STi/WRX seats on Tuesday, I love them even more.

[Berge56]

I think my next big mod is either JDM seats or something similar to what you did.

[Simple Skillz]

I would love me some reclining recaros. Gary always find good deals on them. So jelly lol

[Seraphinwolf]

All you really have to do is troll EVO forums... They get rid f crap all the time.

[DHGurs]

EvoM and ebay usually have good deals. I bought the pair from the same person, albeit a year apart.

[yaya]

It's amazing what a nice seat can do. I still remember the first time I drove my old car after I put in my JDM V3/4 seats... :wub:

[hiprsha666]

I need seats.

[DHGurs]

I have seats, and have a buyer for my OEM seats me thinks...

matching seats ftw!

[DHGurs]

It worked out well, he actually had his Dad bring it with them in their Forester that they traded in for a 2012 Impreza Ltd today.

Unfortunately, I left my socket at work, but maybe jmb will save the day and we will install them tonight while imbibing. It will be nice to have matching seats, although the wife isn't a huge fan. The fact they came out of the same Evo makes me happy.

[yaya]

Wifes + cars = forever unhappy

[Nemesis]

Wifes + cars = forever unhappy

make them drive there own cars

[Simple Skillz]

Once your wife sits in them she will change her mind :)

[hiprsha666]

Wifes + cars = forever unhappy

truth

[Berge56]

Nice Gary!

[DHGurs]

My passengers will be much more comfortable now, better pics to come.

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp315/DHGURS/2012-02-05_18-07-35_29.jpg

Notes: The passenger seat sits a little lower than the driver because of some modifying the previous owner did. The seat belt receptacle bolts right into the Evo seat. I didn't switch over the PDS bladder, so I had to disable the seat belt chime, I'll be putting in the resistor tomorrow. The seat must weigh 20-30lbs less than the OEM passenger seat. :eek:

[Shiux]

I love how "oem" those seats look. Blend right in!

[arcadia25]

I loooove those seats

[Subyspeed]

Congrats on the new seats Gurrrrry

[Berge56]

Congrats indeed!

[jwebsta32]

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp315/DHGURS/2011-11-29_16-19-14_908-1.jpg

I almost got my nice camera to take pics of the seats, instead just got a phone pic. :sadpanda:

orange and red?

[DHGurs]

Orange and red what? Boots?

[jwebsta32]

no haha, the word recaro looks orange on Pass seat and red of Drivers

[DHGurs]

It kinda does, but they match believe me, it's just the sun and my horrible Motorolla phone.

[jwebsta32]

I believe you. So what did you lose from your OEM seats going to those?

[DHGurs]

What did I lose? Side airbags, ****ty bolstering, the lack of an airbag light, my passenger detection system, and at least 35 lbs overall.

[jwebsta32]

Ic. Im telling your insurance company. I will have to sit in them

[DHGurs]

Good thing you still pass SI with an airbag light in NH. Live free or die!

[jmb1983]

So your airbags won't go off now?? Silly Subarus.

[Seraphinwolf]

I've been driving around with no airbag at all since August of last year... I do need to switch back so I have my horns to get the car inspected though...

[-III]

Just the seat bags wont go off

[hiprsha666]

You only need airbags if you get in an accident. Just don't get into and accident. Problem solved.

[Berge56]

Looks sexy Gary!

[SubiGrl2011WRX]

Def agree on the new boots! Makes all the difference!!

[DHGurs]

That!

Def agree on the new boots! Makes all the difference!!

I know it. I'm undecided on color and I may want to get a steering wheel first. At least I have you to install them...

[DHGurs]

17x10's paid for and ordered. Thanks Scotty at Ballistic for the hookup!

So before April 22nd, I (or Eric) will need to:
Roll rear fenders
Install rear camber bushings
Install front inner CA bushings
Install ALK
Purchase and install bump steer kit
Another alignment

:bacon: The grip will be amazing.

That is all...


/gaddisupdate

[Berge56]

R u going to use a maglight to roll your fenders bro?

[Joe]

R u going to use a maglight to roll your fenders bro?

Louisville slugger is a better option.

[Nemesis]

i like the giant pipe wrench option...

[DHGurs]

These all sound like excellent ideas, but I'll probably just use a fender roller. :lol:

[Nrw]

Bats, mag lights and pipe wrenches?

pshhh just go grab some vice grips and go to town.

[Subyspeed]

Be a real man and roll them by hand!

:jwebsta:




































You are great at rolling :ctatv:

[hiprsha666]

Get wheels that fit

Wagoon .. thats who the other was .. LOL I told ya it has been a long week and my mind was mush .. LOL . Nice to see the gang , hopefully Chris did not get any of you guys sick whan you were talking to him. He is death right now.

Gary , I want a pic of them mounted ;-) and who say you cant drive hoosiers on the street .. LOL I did in the BMW. Just be careful as the steering response is insane on the highway and can surprise you switching lanes .. LOL You will also need Ballistic flaps to protect the paint from all the rocks these tire pic up ... so I guess staying off the street would be best .. LOL

I can't wait to get them mounted, but I probably won't be driving them on the streets. :lol: Need to get fenders rolled before a test fit.

http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp315/DHGURS/Random%20internet/memes-haters-gonna-hate.gif

Eh, who knows. I see how it could make a difference once I have everything else in. It will probably go in with the ALK, Master Cyl brace, inner CA bushings and rear camber bushings, so I won't really get an A/B comparo.

In other news, I also ordered the WL Bumpsteer kit from Bren today, the last piece of the puzzle. :devil:

[jwebsta32]

I need the bump steer kit as well....

I forgot how much these wheels are bricks, steering is dulled, throttle response isn't quite as snappy. The 05 BBSs are about 5lbs less a corner, and it's damn noticeable. :unamused:

[Berge56]

Gury your doing it wrong.

[apkarian100]

Is it thicker? I see couple different angled bends and less holes. How much of an improvement does it really do?

[Nemesis]

ahhhhhhh

[DHGurs]

It is thicker. It may do something, I also have the MC brace, bump steer kit, ALK, and F&R CA bushings to go in near the same time, so might as well get as much stiffness up front as possible.

[Nemesis]

so the real question.. whats original on this car?

[DHGurs]

My car's just stage two, nothing to see here...

[arcadia25]

I gotta agree, you NEED to buy his sway bar Bogey. You two are limited twins. it's only fitting

[DHGurs]

Some Gems from the RPF1 manual:

Check: When storing these wheels for a prolonged period of time, protect them direct sunlight, unity, etc.

Converged combustion:
As for the aluminum alloy wheel, which is designed as concave face, with the finishes as like chrome plated or sputtering finish, it is feared that the solar ray would converge by wheel concaved design, it would make a fire in the worst case.

Upon such case, since the converged point becomes high temperature, there is possibility that the converged point would be burned, and be ignited.

Upon fitting to the vehicle, the converged point would be the side area of vehicle, user shall pay attention to watch the surround of vehicle, and shall remove any combustibles from it.

My wheels are so wide they can start fires?

[hiprsha666]

Damn son...

h8ers gonna h8 brah dude man guy

Where are the after pics of the fender roll brah?

I'll grab some later, the Hoosiers were just on for the test fit and to figure out how much roll was needed. I'll have a pic after, but they'll be with the +53 offset SE wheels. :sadpanda:

Thanks to Gene Jr. @ Motostar for the fender tool!

[-III]

Are those going to rub?

[DHGurs]

The rear rubbed slightly under compression, now that they are rolled, there will be no rubbing.

[-III]

Just a roll right, no pull?

[DHGurs]

Nothing too noticeable, GRs have somewhat flimsy rear fenders, so it's probably pulled a couple of mm.
