[Vlad]

Hi,

I'm from Kazakhstan, Almaty. I purchased it in october 2006, fully stock, except FET turbotimer and Enkei R17 wheels

Specs:
BG5225023
Made: 08/03/1997
Color: 47A(Black Diamond Pearl)
Inerior: 710(DARK GRAY)
Model: GT(GT)
Engine: EJ20H(2.0L EMPI DOHC TURBO)
Gearbox: MT

My list of mods:
1. Bilstein B6 sport + Tanabe Precedeo wagon springs
2. Cusco strut bars upper front and rear + lower arm
3. Front seats from WRX (GC8)
4. Momo wheel 350mm
5. Gauge cluster STI 240km/h
6. Cool plate Zero/Sports
7. BOV HKS
8. front grille Chargespeed
9. rear spoiler Hipposleek
10. rear door spoiler Chargespeed
11. 4 pot front brakes+ebc pads+goodridge brake lines
12. front bumper hippo sleek (coming soon)
13. Ganador mirrors (coming soon)
14. Clear side lights (coming soon)
15. intake pipe + magnetic oil drain cap Zero/Sports (coming soon)

Want to convert it to single turbo
Already purchase
turbo td04h from wrx '07 (for first time it will be enough)
gc8 wrx ra exhaust manifold+uppipe+downpipe
intercooler Y pipe from sti ver4
turbo Inlet pipe
and all gaskets
Already read Reuben's single turbo conversion how-to, it is very usefull, but I still didn't know what to do with o2 sensor, leave it in exhaust manifold as it goes now or move into downpipe as it should be, also didn't know what to do with vac hoses

black bumper is stock
silver is hippo sleek

I think about different wings from zero/sports, liberal aero, trust, rfrb, but i didn't like them, this wing is best that i found for bg5.

[Vlad]

Yesterday conversion was done. Engine starts normally :smile:
Still have problems with vac hoses, don't know where to plug them

so clean, how does the single turbo feel?

[impreza_GC8]

Wow very nice car! Good job on the single turbo conversion. What turbo did you go with? It looks pretty small. In that last picture you posted of your car the projectors in the headlights look very blue, how did you do that?

[Vlad]

so clean, how does the single turbo feel?
Thanks!
acutually I don't know :roll: I need to do something with ecu and vac hoses, hope till the end of this week I will find solution

Yeah :lol: turbo is small, stock from wrx '07 td-04L, for the first time i think it will be enough
about projectors, it is photoshop :-( I always want to make them look like this, but don't know how to make it

[dodik]

to make lenses blue you can probably find some transparent hobby paint or blue rockblocker/tint film, dont know whats available around Almaty though, Japan isnt that far from you so maybe something from japan is available. i know that autozone used to sell colored tint film (i used to have green) dont know if they still do the manufacturer was called gila maybe they have products over in europe too you never know. prodolzhay tak derzhat, mashina viglyadit prosto ofigitelno.

Hello SLI

I see that my ride is still interested for some people in this forum, so i will describe what happened with my ride last year

on the summer of 2010 I planned to change exterior view of my car, so i start to search all necessary thing for new look on yahoo.co.jp
I can proudly say that i found everything i need, and prices was very cool
So i purchase front bumper hipposleek ver1, as you remember I already got hippo ver2 on this moment, but i didn't like it, so i sold it to another BG5 fan

here the pics of hippo ver1
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/01/695dd732f15e-1.jpg https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/01/1124ee473c21-1.jpg

As rear bumper i choose Prova Eifel from the same car as you can see on pics :)

http://s007.radikal.ru/i300/1101/0d/0e90720ffdbd.jpg

and side skirts G-square, simple but i like them
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/01/0524d2f70799-1.jpg

when i first time saw Morette headlights i said to my self that i shoul find them in any way, so after few month i got them :)

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/01/6887c74afcc8-1.jpg

and ganador mirrors
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/01/67869d7044e7-1.jpg

and roof rails were deleted, without them car looks much better

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/01/98094d00ef39-1.jpg


I think thats all for exterior
Al this part was purchased at different time, so i decide to wait a little for a moment when all part will be shipped to me, and after that start start paint works of whole car

so sorry but my time is limited, so I will continue this tomorrow
stay tunned

ooooh now ... i forgot about new wheels :grin:
at summer 2010 I purchased set of 5 Rays Gram Lights 57C R18 7.5J off +48

so check pics

little bit dirty

[eekay]

Always fabulous! Might I ask what exactly you did to locate the body kit pieces? I'm still trying to find my Liberal body kit replacements from damage my car sustained I've had absolutely no luck at all. I'll check out yahoo.co.jp though. Any help would be great!

[bmwpride]

where did you get that steering wheel

[Cervantes]

daaaaamn! thats one good looking car. those wheels and calipers look great.

[LiCelsior]

looks nice, what rear trunk wing is that?

[eekay]

Trunk wing is Hippo Sleek rear roof spoiler. I want. Whenever you're ready to sell, Vlad... Just lemme know!

[geckoboy86]

Man...This really makes me want a wagon.

[pumpupthevolume]

[MonstarMotorsports]
