new pride and joy!!
 
picked up my new car today!! a 2006 blob sti in blue (lower tax bracket too, apparently i was told quite rare to find being its a 06 plate) 21000 miles 2 previous owners, absolutely lovely condition and completely origional (i did plan to keep it that way but already looking at remaps, exhaust etc lol).
had a lovely drive back from hampshire getting used to the 6 gears.
Will put some picks up tomorrow when its not so dark outside, looking forward to taking it to the meet on sunday.

Nice find!

Late blobs with that kind of mileage aren't very common these days....

Hongkongfooi 19-11-2012 06:32 PM

That s rare as most blobs ran out as 55's

Finally got hold of one!! Prodrive sports cat n decat second pipe off a WR1.

It could do with a good clean but looks in good condition.

Now just need the rest of the bits before install and remap. :smile:

impreza27 17-01-2013 10:03 PM

were did you get hold of the cat mate did you pay very much for it?

SamSTI 17-01-2013 10:11 PM

off ebay mate, paid 180 for the both! (not sure if good price or not lol)

there is another one on the there which ends sunday, currently on £75 which is off a hawk and looks tidy!!

impreza27 17-01-2013 10:15 PM

cool thanks i've been looking for one myself for a while now.

SamSTI 17-01-2013 10:27 PM

Same here mate, they seem like gold dust.

impreza27 27-02-2013 12:11 AM

managed to get hold of a prodrive sports cat myself now mate are you gonna wrap yours?

SamSTI 27-02-2013 10:17 AM

Excellent stuff mate :doubleup:, I'm glad you managed to get one. I haven't even thought about wrapping it to be honest, it could be the way forward though, are you going to wrap yours??

impreza27 27-02-2013 08:03 PM

not to sure really mate

SpecB 28-02-2013 06:23 AM

I'd wrap it, I've only done mine to where the bend to go under the car is as it can get damaged easily

Change the exhaust this morning for a H&S catcack (scoobyworld afterburner) with big help from Dave (bigemp).

Very happy with the results, finally released that flat four rumble :smile:

A very big thank you to bigemp for letting me use his ramps, garage and giving me a hand (I want your garage lol) and to impreza27 who offered to give me a hand too.

Very much appreciated guys.

impreza27 10-03-2013 04:36 PM

Very nice Sam. Were they Scotts ones?

SamSTI 12-05-2013 07:05 PM

Thanks mate and yes they are Scotts old ones, I got them off Didz.

I wasn't too keen on the colour at first (always been a gold man lol) but its starting to grow on me now.

tangowayne 12-05-2013 07:06 PM

looking good sam,good looking rims m8 :doubleup:

Sti mayhew 12-05-2013 08:02 PM

Like them wheels look really good. Some nice pro drive lowering springs will finish that off perfectly.

Cheers matey, lowering is next on my to do list with either Prodrive springs (if i can find some) or most probably Tein S tech springs.

ralliart didz 12-05-2013 08:16 PM

very nice sam,can i have them back :whistle: will look even better once lowered. then when you get bored paint them gold :grin:

Scott.T 12-05-2013 08:23 PM

Looking good, although Tein S-techs and some wheel nuts may help ;)
