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.

Sam

Nice find!

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

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

also see a 06 blob sti everyday in angmering area so that makes two of them at least lol,look forward to seeing pics,sounds like you got a good example with great low mileage as well

few pics of the car i took this morning.
Hope you all like!!

Very nice mate.

Pleased with it?

thanks mate and yeah very pleased cheers pal, I've just been looking at your two beasts, very nice indeed. i will have to try and convince my other to get a scoob too lol

very nice indeed mate :10: just needs a nice sti front splitter to finish the front of mate

thanks mate and its already on my list to santa lol :santagrin:

drove past your car today looked good but not sure about that dodgy looking wheel on the front lol

lol you don't like?? i'm after three more to complete the set lol. Could be fun on roundabouts lol.

i had the wheel refurbed, had a curb scuff on it.

as today is my last day off for the year i treated the scoob to a good polish and wax (and some how got roped into doing the over half's c4 as well lol)

here is a few pics.

Looking good Sam :polish:
Pop over and do mine will you.:doubleup:

four of them will look perfect m8 lol

Nice, been looking at hawk and widetrack blobs for a mate, quite fancy another, don't think I can really justify two scoobs

nice :)

Looks good!

The modding has begun with the the front splitter, decided to put it on the other night in the dark and rain (you decide to do some strange things after a couple cans of beer lol:chug:)

very happy with the look of the car now!!!

not sure whats next now!!

Looking good Sam, :10:


It was good to meet you and Heidi the other night :five:

thanks Ian.

It was good to meet you, Scott and Rob too.

It did look good in the dark hope i never made ya jump lol

ha ha only a little mate :lol:

Good to meet you though

Got this for Christmas which i found hilarious, hopefully will stop the girlfriend parking on the drive...... but probably not :kickbutt:

Now that is something you don't see everyday what a find mate I do like it

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:

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

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!!

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

Same here mate, they seem like gold dust.

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

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??

not to sure really mate

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.

looks good mate time to enjoy the flat four sound track now mate :drive:

Very nice, should here you start up from barn rise now then!

Thanks mate, already been through lewes tunnel listening to that burble lol

lol cheers matey, it is a wee bit louder :whistle:

the afterburner dose sound good got the same one on the back of mine to mate have you heard it pop down yet :doubleup:

lol no not yet, i will have to listen out for that :grin:

You are very welcome sam and sounded ohhhhhh so much better as you pulled away :)

Stuck the new wheels on today, just as it started to rain (typical).

Will get some better pics when its not p*****g down.

Very nice Sam. Were they Scotts ones?

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.

looking good sam,good looking rims m8 :doubleup:

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

Thanks mate.

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.

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

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

Whats wrong with my nuts lol, What ones did you have when you had these wheels Scott??

Looking GOOD..:doubleup:

Looking good sam

look good:ok:

Very nice - well worth the trip!

looking good sam :doubleup: just needs some springs to drop it now mate.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Nice, but as said get it lowered a tad on teins.

They look very nice Sam :doubleup:

Wheels set the car right off sam nice buy

Just had these installed ready for remap at the end of the year. I wish I can say I fitted them... but I cant. Once again thanks Dave lol

http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/...psbfe44f1d.jpg

Those look really nice Sam. :worthy:

Very nice mate. Ill be getting mine soon ish.

looking very nice sam I like those :10:

It was my pleasure sam lol

Nice little addition. Very smart.

They look great Sam

very nice sam :10:

Not seen those gauges before. Normally not a fan of the digital stuff, but really like the subtle look of those ones :ok:

They are pretty cool gauges where did you find them sam .

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Scott you can get the full set of these from scoobyworld or if you just want single gauges rspec is the best place mate.

Look much better than my prosports:doubleup:

and no annoying whirring noise on the start up sequence as well like the old ones do

Been a while since I done an update... So here it is.
Not much has changed apart from some new mud flaps and an uprated fuel pump. The next twelve months will see a lot more done to her, modifications and paint work are all in the pipeline!
A few pics here, still looking lovely though :)

Your car always looks spot on Sam

Cheers guys!

Looking Good Sam, you need to get to a meet or two this year! be good to see you and the car out and about dude :)

Looking really nice Sam, as always :ok:

Spent the last few weekends clay baring, polishing and waxing the car. Very pleased with the results. I definitely prefer spreading the work over a few weekends than trying to do it all in one day.

Replaced the battery with a Bosch s4 today too, as the original finally gave up! Not bad after nine years tho :)

:ok: Looking really nice mate.

Very nice.

I'd much prefer to spread the load over a couple of days, but I tend to only get a limited window of opportunity so have to go for it! :lol:

It's incredibly clean.

There's barely a panel on either of our cars that some div hasn't put a blemish on, even if it's only minor. Little door dings and chips and what have you! :splat:

Looking very clean and tidy, excellent job you've done there :10:

There is so much in that sentence to laugh at:shock:

:mrgreen:


Nice work Sam she looks amazing :)

The double entendre was not entirely accidental. :D

Looks pretty much near perfect Sam, great work, fancy doing mine...? 😁

Looks mint! :ok:

Looks great mate, really tidy blob you have there.

Get in the queue :lol:

Well after nearly four years of keeping her standard ish, I've finally got around to some suspension mods.

She spent the day yesterday at SMD to install:

Tein flex z coilovers
Whiteline 24mm rear ARB
Whiteline bump steer correction kit
Whiteline rear camber bolts
Scoobyworld front strut brace.

Oh and some lovely new wheels thanks to Ginola :)

new pride and joy!!

Very nice mate. From the side on shot i couldn't tell it wasn't Dave's car :lol:

The car looks fantastic mate:10:

that looks the nuts sam!! good move on the rims!!:yeah:

Looks great and wheels look good, but I prefer the old ones ;) and wish they would fit a classic.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
Looking forward to giving her a spirited drive tomorrow evening to test the current setup.... May need a few tweeks :)

Don't worry Scott the old wheels aren't going know where. They're getting a well deserved refurb and maybe a nice set 888s to suit ;)
