Was flipping through your earlier posts, what's happening here with the STI shift plate\trim? looks like you fab'd up a base for it out of something as well. Neat idea, what model year is that trim from (it seems shorter than what I remember them being, in length )??

Yeah it was a custom one off I made. I got rid of it when I got the blue Type RA trim. That particualr sti trim is off the 02-04 STi(either JDM for the 02/03 or the 2004 USDM STi).

I aquired a 2005 STi on the cheap with quite a few cool parts on it. Two being a prodrive oil cap and battery tiedown. I have wanted a set of them for a whilke but could never justify the price that they are demanding now since they are getting rare nowadays.

The tie down I thought was going to be a total loss unfortunatly due to battery acid corrosion

But to my surprise it cleaned up really well with just baking soda water and a brass bristled brush.

It did take a little damage from the battery acid, but not really all that bad to be honest. I was plesantly surprised.

Engine bay needs a wash... but here they are installed!

I may end up adding a mesh on the back side of the hood vents, I'd hate to have my oil cap stolen if I ever park the car in a parking lot.

Now do I fill in the PRODRIVE logos with the classic prodrive sky blue and black?

The guys who made the Between the Lines Subaru documentary asked to do a feature with my car for their Rollers YouTube series. They just released the video yesterday. I love how it came out!

Thanks! IG makes it easy to post pics but you dont get the depth like you can get on here, which is why I <3 the forums still.

Speaking of which, I took the car out for some fun on Ortega Hwy last weekend and got some pretty cool shots up here. No too shabby for a phone camera.

Oh and a couple of the DD project(got offered way too much money for the RSX Type S to not sell it, so off it went and I built the worst car ever made according to Doug de Muro. Clearly he doesnt know what he's talking about because this thing is awesome.

I can't ever leave anything stock, as a result of that; currently the DD is faster than the STi...

Its not my fault its easier to make power with a twin turbo V6 vs a 4 banger lol!
