The new Scoob
Well finally after almost 9 long months without a car I managed to find myself a nice WRX STI spec D although it wasn't the car I originally set out to get, it was just to good to pass up. It's only done 40k with 2 previous owners and FSSH and is in great condition, there are a few little things that will need doing for me to get it how I want it, but will be keeping it very close to standard due to it being a limited edition.
Anyway here a couple of pictures after I'd given it a good wash, clay and polish http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/z...psbuuecffu.jpg http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/z...pszv4tlaya.jpg http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/z...pshv3wnwpc.jpg http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/z...pssnsqm4mx.jpg http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps674dg9kh.jpg Plans for it are to replace the exhaust system with something a little louder, fit a front splitter in the next couple of weeks, fit a new set of mud flaps this weekend and the wheels are in being refurbed in a different colour now, that then should be it for a while. |
That looks nice :ok:What colour are you planning for the wheels?
|
Nice one Matt. Great choice. If it were me id still change the spoiler, either for an sti one or a ra-r lip spoiler, and a front spitter.:doubleup:
40,000 miles. That's a good find. |

Yeah I think I was very lucky to find 1 with low miliage, it was 1 of the things that attracted me to the car and it falls into the cheaper tax bracket, so that's a big plus. |
looks nice Matt8-)
|

Looks very smart :ok:
|

Was your old hawk a PPP car btw? How much of the exhaust system did you change? |
I know a man with the PPP map on a laptop ;)

Looks very tidy dude, nice one!

Very nice indeed - hawkeye is my fav, love the S204 rear spoiler.

I think if you change the second cat only it'll still bring the light on and at very least need to be checked by someone with laptop and the right gear. |

The PPP didn't have a 2nd cat just a resonator under the same heatshield.
I don't think the ecu engine light is effected by the 2nd cat removal. I can compare non and PPP ecu images later tonight though. |

Refurbed wheels now back on
http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps9eb4ybk8.jpg A little darker than I'd planned, but I think they suit the car rather well so I'm really pleased |
Nice
Tein springs work well on these too and good value from Alyn ;) |

It also rode better on the Tein's & Prodrive's. I found the OE STi springs very choppy/moob bouncey ;) (Teins dropped an extra 14mm front, 20mm rear compared to the Prodrives) Looks a lot better at the back IMHO. BEFORE TEINS FITTED : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...T/100_3274.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...T/100_3276.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...T/100_3278.jpg AFTER TEINS FITTED : (dropped an extra 14mm front, 20mm rear) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...T/100_3678.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...T/100_3687.jpg |
Note to self...must stop looking at my old Hawkeye !!!!!!!!

They were very nice, Subaru direct fit i.e 5x114 & no spigot rings required. But I never did find out who made them and never seen another car with them. They are now on SamSTi's car. |
