iOnic · 09-12-2007, 12:11 PM

suspension can still go lower

exhaust is 40mm from the road at its lowest point though so yeah... here's a coupla pics i've just taken. this car isn't all bling and shiny like other cars but it does the job and does it well as many unsuspecting lancer evo/impreza sti owners have come to find

thanks for the welcome and comments

very friendly community here

you sort of get an idea of how low it is. sorry for bad lighting but this is the exhaust and the white is the floor

engine bay

intercooler piping

3sgte

gen III brakes

SSA 17" wheels

wheel arch clearance

need wheel spacers/wider rims

rear quarter

boost gauge

hks drift edition shiftknob

momo steering wheel

Can you see the boost gauge? It looks like the steering wheel is blocking it?

iOnic · 09-12-2007, 02:08 PM

unfortunately no i can't see the boost gauge while driving. the previous owner placed it in a position that is impossible to see while driving the car. i'll be moving it to an 'a pillar' gauge pod sooner or later but have to find a spare dash part to replace the one that is currently holding the boost gauge as it will have a hole in it
