I bought my 2003 Sportivo a few months ago. Stock as a rock of a elderly couple at 130k kms complete service history and a brand new clutch. I have done a few mods but will keep it mostly stock and just keep it well looked after.

Future Mods:

*Suspension - Whiteline sports springs.

*Cold Air Intake - Snorkel taken out and 50mm flexi pipe run behind front grill.

*Ported Extractors

*Lights - 5000k low/highs and 3000k foggies.

*Yellow ting foggies

*Tinted weather shields

*Black bonnet protector

*EzLip

Does avocado actually work? Lool

Posted

Yeh it does work it cleared up a lot of the cloudyness and scratchiness not 100% but better then what it was.

Posted

That's the first time I've heard that lol.

What's your next mod on the list?

Need to get a front strut brace for sure. Then I gotta convince my wife it needs to be low lol. Kinda hard to convince her though as I should be making an offer on a house this week. Haha tough decisions.

Other then that I don't think I will do much else, maybe just tiny things here and there but don't really wonna ****** with exhaust and intake and ****. Kinda over loud cars. I had a gtir with a straight through 3" that was rather loud haha.

Get a rear sway bar before a front strut brace, you can really notice the difference when you go through a corner.

Small update.

Did my 150k km service. changed to all synthetic oils 5w40 nulon, flushed radiator, power steering fluid and brake fluid. feels like a new car! :D

Also ordered this bad boy!

post-29770-0-41890200-1354186711_thumb.j

SUPER fast shipping only took 2days. 2.5" inlet 3" twin outlets. Any recommendations on what exhaust shop I should hit up to make me a axleback with the brackets and flanges. I want it to be a straight swap so i can change it in and out if needed.

Posted

just make a good excuse and talk alot of mechanical jargon and your wife will just give in a say yes becuz she doesnt understand. trust me it works :D

Posted

Well I did that with the exhaust she hasn't given in to New springs yet. May be make an offer on a house tomorrow so see how my funds go haha.

Ps. Any recommendations on exhaust size? Only doing axle back atm but may expand. Thinking 2.5" stainless?.

Posted

Coll ill get onto it :). Hopefully get a full system and headers ported head etc soon enough. Lol. Peolly get all that done and still 4x4 spec.

You should of bought my old 2.5 inch muffler off me!! It was exactly the same as well!! Buuuuuut I just sold it yesterday for fiddy dollah lol

Posted

Noooo I paid 60 for this one hahaha. Oh well. Can't wait to have it finished see if it makes a difference in sound.

Posted

Hahaha ah fair enough, doesn't matter, 10 bucks difference is alright :) for brand new that's good haha. What muffler brand is it?

Posted

No frills! Nah haha its custom my uncle's mate fabricates **** for cars and bikes. Had this laying around so I got it off him. His out of the game now so no tools to make me the rest of the exhaust :(

Posted

Haha fair enough bro. I've seen this type of mufflers on sportivos around my area, they look good on them I have to admit. On my car it looked like $$h!T! Lol

Posted

Yeh it was never used to good find for me. Iv never seen one with it on. But I thought it would look mean and something different to go with my orange wheels haha.

Posted

lol yeah it will look good man dont worry. ive mainly seen them around bankstown/punchbowl/lebareas on the sportivos lol but if you dont like the bent tip thing, just grind the tip in half to make it straight. i was thinking that but my exhaust was dodgy anyways, but its up to you mate, your car :) haha

Posted

Lebspec hahahahaha nah its not that leb bro! Lol It will look very good man. Looking forward to it man :)

Where abouts are you getting it done anyways?

Posted

Was told by Clifton to go northmead. My old impreza got done at livo exhausts and it was good. I think I just rind around and get quotes.

Yeh I think I get disapproval from lebspec anyway crx driver shaking his head at me the other day when he saw dat orange! Then understeered in a roundabout and I overtook with style haha.
