already assumed

The main reason is the headlights are JDM, which makes them RHD. It was pretty annoying not having the beam pattern/cutoff point the right way, but I really didn't want to spend the $600-800+ to have them retrofitted. After doing my Denali lights, and it being easy, I decided I could probably handle the retrofit and it was time to do the STi lights.

Fuuuu do want. Need videos.

I have a camera mount on the harness bar, but the suspension is so stiff that it trips the G sensor in the camera and shuts it down to protect the HDD. I barely get around the corner from my house before it shuts it down, haha. I am going to see if disabling the sensor will let it keep running, I just keep forgetting to try it. If that doesn't work, I may try getting a Memory Stick and recording to it.

Here are some crappy pictures I took with my phone during the build, but they show some of the stuff you can't see from the outside.

The catch can:

The fuel surge tank, that fits under my full size spare:

And, if you hadn't noticed, it has the stock muffler on it. Why? Well, because I'm a genius and it's a discreet exhaust dump/turn down. The entire inside of the stock muffler is gutted. The 3" pipe comes in through the back and exits through the bottom of it. I thought it was pretty clever.

Nice trick on the exhaust. I feel like Ive seen those buildings before on another bugeye shoots, probably over at NASIOC. Only thing I dont like is the smooth trunk, I just dont like them without a wing, then again I had the STi wing on mine.

It's possible, but brick buildings all look alike, haha.I think they look best without a wing or spoiler.
