  1. Very nice.

    I remember seeing your 2006 FSTI alongside Fleetwood's FSTi at Prodrive Subaru - The Final Gathering & 30th Anniversary on Sunday 8th June 2014.

    Both very tidy looking examples ?

    so its an XT with a bug/blob front end ( I can never tell the difference)

    Ive got to say im grossed out and interested at the same time

    It would appear to be a SF Forester of some description, resprayed in WR Blue Mica with a Blobeye STI hood scoop, Bugeye headlights and a customised/aftermarket front bumper.

    Those are some awesome Scoobs Floz!

  3. Welcome Lockheed. Great to see you on SIDC! :thumbup:

    I saw your post on SF.org about Simply Japanese at Beaulieu. SIDC will be having a club stand there if you’d like to join us? :)

  4. Welcome Kyle. All very good advice above. If you want a Hawkeye WRX with the EJ205 you could also have a look into the import route. Japanese examples tend to be less likely to suffer from rust & generally have lower mileage. Another benefit would be even cheaper road tax than UK Blobs & early 06 Hawks. £255 a year vs £315 a year currently.

    Couple of specs & brochures for JDM Hawks

    The UK has some cracking special editions to keep a look out for too.

    Blobeye WRX 300 (PPP as standard) brochure: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6Tg7ZPMAwxqUGNuSDhDSFFLTlU/view

    Blobeye & Hawkeye WRX SL. Comes with heated leather seats + sunroof as standard & the option of the Prodrive Performance Pack. When looking for the PPP, always ask to see the certificate of authenticity902865926_PPP-CertificateofAuthenticity.jpg.53598d5b5f1e9210fbce00034de20328.jpg

    as some owners never applied the silver sticker of authenticity to the car, preferring to keep it with the rest of the paper work.559697173_PPP-StickerofAuthenticity.jpg.c0e970935d525cd9e2c057b3142526d5.jpg If the sticker is on the car, its generally located on the inner frame when you open the driver’s door,307789851_PPP-StickerofAuthenticity2.jpg.6ac1deaa9f63f6df72214eddb696f041.jpg1370396025_PPP-StickerofAuthenticity3.jpg.b707373582e40ac96afcf93137cd0da5.jpg

    although I’ve seen them in various places ranging from the engine bay to the top of the driver’s sun visor…1252024568_PPP-StickerofAuthenticity4.thumb.jpg.58ae5832555744ba2530e630b49b7680.jpg Here is a picture of things to look out for on a PPP equipped WRX, although it may have had additional modifications since the PPP was fitted. I believe the silicone intercooler Y-pipe was available in both blue & red.

    Prodrive recommend that 18’’ wheels & tyres are to be fitted to PPP equipped WRX's, so you may find a nice set of Prodrive or STI alloys fitted on the car too! A very rare option included the Prodrive 330mm Alcon Brake Conversion Kit as seen on the Subaru Impreza P1. I have not seen many Subaru's with this option fitted.
