Totally agree. The quality of the paint correction and prep is the key.

But..that said, I've heard that Modesta is the new top dog in terms of coatings.

I'll likely still go with OptiCoat bc my car is wife though. If it were any other color? Modesta.

Good news guys. I think Cat A's taking B's out for beer is in order. We had to wait all this time for their cars to get fixed ahead of us

Would not it be great if we all can arrange next Spring to meet in the middle of the US with the reclassified 2014/15s also. I would make the hall for a couple of days of fun.

I'll have insurance organised tomorrow and I'm on leave for two weeks from COB Thursday. I'm hoping I'll be able to pickup my car on Friday, otherwise it will be Saturday.

The STi goes into storage, to make room in my garage, on my way to pickup the GT3!

I can't get over how many of us GT3 buyers also have Subaru STI's !

Congrats!

Engine finally arrived at my dealer today for the swap! Should pick her up at the start of next week. I will have an alignment done & my SW bypass installed immediately and I’ll have a few days to put on some good break-in miles just ahead of 3 track days booked at 2 different tracks next weekend (next Friday/Saturday/Sunday). I might even hit a 3rd track on the Monday if I can get away from work that long. Ready to make up for lost time……pics & track videos coming soon.

Meteor.

Great news. So in Canada the dealer does the swap as opposed to the port doing the swap here?
