05 STI BUILD
- Thread starter Doppelganger
- Start date
The front has a perrin FMIC so that beam is replaced with the intercooler beam and FMIC.
The only two other weight reduction parts of the car I'm still searching for is a light weight subframe and a carbon fiber drive shaft.
I plan on relocating the battery to the trunk with a smaller sealed battery as well for weight redistribution and might remove the carbon evap canister for the final weight reduction.
I trying to find the happy medium between a stock street sti and track sti lol.

Is that what you did with your car bro?
I've actually considered doing that as well.

Nice you know that you can get good quality battery terminal ends and cables by pulling them from BMW e30 and e36 at the junk yards rite? They came stock with trunk mounted batteries that had good quality cables and ends.

Allot of the late 90s Euro cars have the cables and ends that are sealed nicely so it makes an affordable method of relocating batteries

My patience finally paid off since this is the exact set of springs I've been trying to find used for a good deal. I almost picked up the RCE yellows several time for around $200-$250.
I figure when I install them with the GRworx camber plates I'll also do the grease zerk mod to the stock struts.

I have to pick up a pair of front bump stops but I'm wondering if anybody has done the grease zerk mod to the stock sti struts and have any feedback on It?

Pretty much a cheap easy mod where you drill and tap a grease zerk in to each strut after cleaning them up. It then allows you to use a grease gun to pump grease in to the struts to reduce clunk and binding.
I believe feal struts offer this mod.

You can see where this individual installed the zerk.

I've been searching eBay and theforuns for over a year for a deal on the synapse and got lucky when a local subaru club member posted on the club FB page.
It's for the 08 and up WRX but for $75 I couldn't pass it up since I'll be getting a different flange and welding it to the FMIC piping.

Fuel rails and lines are the only things I need other then the GM IAT sensor, and radiator hoses to button up my build.
Things I'm looking for deals on are front sway bar and end links. A DEFI red boost gauge or AEM boost gauge.
Things I'm dreaming about are carbon fiber drive shaft, light weight front sub frame and fender braces for the future upgrades.
