Fab machine! Amazingly clean for its age. Well cared for car that looks to have been loved all its life.

 

[Ben P]

Love those seats!

[gav525]

Probably could fit but offsets and size is way off for this car. Needs to have 18s for a more rally esque look.

I think even gunmetal would look so much better than gloss black on the wheels. But its all personal preference. Health to drive

To be fair I'll probably change the wheels to hyper silver again at some point down the line.

I got a blast out in this yesterday lunch time.

That's one clean car, that will only get better. It's a very mean, pumped up, bull dog style car... actually made my own old one look a little subtle (not many cars would do that). It's a much more refined car than my old one too, but that makes it a better daily companion. A much more modern interior and supportive seats too. She doesn't hang about either.

The only bad news is Chris didn't buy lunch!

 

[Normski]

Lovely buddy, always still have an itch for a pearl white saloon but can't part with the current scoobster.

Enjoy! Defo need a wee nosey, we'll get something arranged!

Im not on the same money as you , plus fuel is priority these days!

We arent there anymore mate, we moved to the big Capita building at Newtownabbey. But could maybe swing by some lunch time for a nosey round your motor.

 

[Gambit]

yeah should defo swing by some lunchtime for a nosey, i'm out of office this week but back in from next week onwards. I work with @bludgod /Pete Simmons/Subaru mapper, so he'll be able to plug it in for you and tell you what map it is your car is running if your curious!

That would be great yes, it could well be running a stock map but it just feels very sharp, especially in sport# mode. But then again I was driving a c3 for 3 months lol

Thats well worth doing @ChrisL they done exactly the same for me. Good piece of mind.

 

[bludgod]

looks like a nice bus! yeah pop past some time we'll get it plugged in and see what's what, the S# pedal sensitivity is pretty high so even at standard power the car feels like it has a lot more get up and go - only because it's like driving round with the pedal pressed an extra 15%

That makes sense then, could well be running standard map after all. Feels great though when its in the sport sharp. Rarely use sport and never use intelligent lol

 

[ChrisL]

Here's what has been or will be added in the next week ....

• New STI Spoiler
• Godspeed front G Hook Discs
• Godspeed Kevlar Pads
• Brembo Discs and Pads at rear
• Pink HEL Brake Lines
• Pink STI grill and boot badges

Mod wise however

• Invidia N1 Cat back Exhaust
• HT Autos full bottomline kit
• Tein S Tech Lowering Springs
• Direnza Spacers front and rear 15mm/25mm

Looking forward to getting it to Pete's charity coffee morning.

 

[big_pete]

The HT autos stuff is fantastic I was surprised at the quality when I put it on the bug.

 

[ChrisL]

I read somewhere online that they used to make the lip kits for Subaru UK and then lost the contract...apparently their stuff fits better than the new oem stuff from Subaru lol

I was really pleased with the quality. Although had to go to Japan Subaru for the new spoiler.

 

[Graham]

I love these, a proper drivers car, very agricultural compared to the 'modern' all-wheel-drive turbocharged stuff...

I am due to have a Final Edition model with me for a week soon, cannot wait!

[Sonny]

Invidia stuff is great. Will sound awesome.
