My new car.

[the squiggle]

I first saw this car at Abington Services on the M74 when Matt as bringing it back home. When i first laid eyes on it i swore that would be my next car. Last month Matt informed me that it was for sale and it was mine if i wanted it.

So here it is

It is a WRX STI Version 2 Limited

She has been fitted with the following list off modifications

JUN 2.2 Stroker kit

HKS Front mount Intercooler

Large IHI Hybrid turbo

HKS SSQV Blow off valve..............Gay and sounds like a bus

GRex Oil cooler with remote filter pod

HKS Super Power Flow Air Filter

Full HKS Hiper exhaust system

HKS Hipermax 2 coilovers

Front STI Strut Brace

Mid Bomex Strut brace

Apexi rear Strut Brace

HKS Twin Plate clutch and uprated flywheel

Cusco plated rear diff

APexi Power FC and Commander

Blitz Dual Solenoid Boost Controller with 4 boost settings {0.7, 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5bar}

Zerosports body kit comprising Bonnet {GRP}, Fr bumper, Rr bumper and Adjustable Spoiler

Greddy oil and water temp meters

Tomei Air to Fuel Ratio meter

Greddy Boost meter

Lightweight Advan RC alloys

Nismo Uprated fuel pump and regulator

HKS Dual Power Ign system

Subaru 4pot calipers with uprated discs and pads

All this on top of std STI Limited spec

The car as it stands the now is a good as it comes but i need to do one or two things to make her bullet {Squirrel} proof. Small things like move a oil filter from its current location, which is right in front of the air filter, and get the geometery done at Extreme or Progrip

Future plans are to increase the size of the injectors up to the 550/740 region and fit the TD05/06 20g that was recently purchased from Walker Texas ranger. It should break the 400hp barrier quite easily with the 2.2 and 20g strapped onto it.

Thanks to the following people for helping me obtain such a vehicle

Matt for introducing me to such a spendid example of a modified Impreza

The lads at AWD in Perth for the last minute prep work to get her on the road.

Jamie, HISOOB, for such fine workmanship when Matt had the car

MORIMOTOSOUGOUJIMA CENTER CO LTD, the last owner in Japan for building a great car

and the biggest thanks goes to Imy, micra_wrc, for helping me out when i needed it the most

Still thinking of your suggestion and i am looking for a set of black alloys for her.

I am waiting for a set of Volk racing alloys to become available

looks totaly mad

[the squiggle]

I would say it looks unique but i would be lyeing. I know of a car with the exact same bodykit, except in white and different bonnet, and it is about 20 miles from my house

Grant

[Gumball]

looks like Andys handywork is going to give him even more business shortly. theres a few smiling assasins who will be over 400bhp very soon.

Its all for the good IMHO and makes the scottish scoobies a force to be reckoned with.

makes the runs even better too

Mad mental motor, for a mad mental owner.

[johnnyr6]

[NightOwl]

Anyway, I wish you and your new love a B-road of happiness.

[Rice Rocket]

Understand where you are coming from but you are still a couple of ckeeky scamps

Just spent a small fortune on Auto Glym products and will bloody well use them until the car is gleaming.
