thanks lol

I also swapped out the turbo blanket for the PTP Turbo Blanket, so much better design and construction then the DEI ones that fall apart

I also swapped the Sparco Grid seat for a MOMO racing seat with higher bolsters to keep me snug while I'm on the track, the sparco grid is in my wagon version.

i add DBA 2 piece rotors for better stopping on the track, the stoptec ones cracked

I also add Forged Billet shifter forks, i was sick of the plastic tab suabru used for the stock STi 6MT transmission.

What are your brackets made of? 1/4" diameter aluminum rod bent into shape? How did you get the tight radius that the bolt goes through? I like your idea for custom mounts for reservoirs and what not.

cheers

that is my fathers idea that i stole since i had to make everything stay in its place.. but its aluminum rod forget the size but its not very big, take your time in bending it and you can shape the round part very nice in a vise. i use them everywhere even holding up skid or wind plates under the car to small jobs under the hood.

this is a short clip with all the new toys add.
