I have sent you a link Cal which will help you on your modding way []

Ever helpful Gus! []

Blocked script - does not work.

Love the one of the jet!

Sorted and nothing to worry about for another year!  Also, most changes cause no issues - even when I get it fitted with an Apexi and mapped, there will be no premium increase, possibly just an excess increase.

What a relief.  Also, its' the cheapest Impreza insurance I've ever had, even when I had my standard WRX, with several years' no claims and no accidents.

Bargain but not met reserve yet - the best looking seats IMHO and virtually brand new.  Great for a WRX or a Hawkeye STI.

The pics are great - I really need to get some good pics of my car (and a decent camera too).

Is that not awkward to drive like that []???

Another recommendation for Gary Moulsen @ Keith Michaels Insurance. After a slightly "awkward" modification related call to Elephant on Saturday, let's say I needed insurance pronto.  Spoke to Gary via Scoobynet on Friday night and called him today.

I have been with Elephant/Admiral group for years on many cars and they have NEVER been beaten, or even close until now.  Gary Moulsen managed to insure a JDM WRX STI, with ZERO years no claims, 2 accidents and all my modifications including boost controller, FSE power valve, fuel pump, fuel cut defencer, wheels, etc (and he actually knew what I was talking about a rare experience[]) for £150 less than Elephant, with no worries over future mods.  I should add that Elephants quote was way less than everyone else.  Performance Direct and A Plan could not beat it, Privilege needed 4 years NCB and Greenlight could not beat the quote either.

Fantastic - roll on the mods I say []  But I'll be keeping it standard looking (SPOOKS!!).

100% recommended.

I bet am not the only one that has woken up beside worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![]

Craig

lol - true []

I bet some folk would love to be able to get their car in the bedroom, off the street, too []

Of course []

Cheers all,

As I expected - the stickers will 100% be staying - they are unique and I like that reflection of Japanese culture.

POLL CLOSED lol []

It would seem in keeping with the other Impreza's of the period, and the fact the wheels are both 15" and Speedlines, that they would be an option.  I like those wheels more than the original STI V.1 wheels and , bizarrely, they suit the car.

Brian []

17" five spokes - ahhh - the only photo I have found is this one (and it says in the Haynes book it came with split rims).  These may be one and the same?

What are my chances of finding these wheels though - I'd assume NIL! []

Grant - do you have ANY pictures of STI version 1's or the original wheels which came with it - or even Japanese reviews?  Cannot find the info anywhere. []

Grant - what about a nice Turbo 2000 sticker? []

Got you - no to both then - I do like the Jap graphics - unless I hear otherwise they will be staying!

Brian []

Someone suggested I should "un-jap" the back of the car, and maybe just fit either a new red STI badge or a single chrome Impreza badge - I quite like it as original- but what do you think?

Current:

Cleaned Up:

ALSO - if I remove the blanking covers under the vents to the left and right of the bonnet, will this make any difference or cause any issues??? 

Seen here:

I detango'd the car today too:

Before:

After:

Fitted a Radiator slam panel today (hard to see under the front grille):

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Brian []

Indeed - lol []

Imy,

Thanks very much - I sound like Darth Vader at the moment - or Stephen Hawking.  I'll get it from Rosie.

Brian []

Great - got a good taster of the day - thanks.

Yes - well done Spooks and Rosie - it is often forgotten the effort, stress, worry and jip that they have to take in organising stuff.  I wish I could have been there.

I thought I saw it on the road the other day as well - must have been my imagination!  Still at the same ridiculous price?  And is the Prodrive splitter cracked?

The Prodrive springs were less than £200 plus fitting - they cost me £330 all in - fitted, and them Prodrive geometry set-up by A F Nobles, Subaru - the Eibach's were about £160 odds I think - about £30 quid difference and not worth it if they rattle.

If you're looking for a Walbro pump Russell has a nice new one in stock lol []
