Default Hello! Newbie from Reading
Hi all, after 2.5 years of owning a Celica T Sport and eventualy getting tired of having to thrash the VVTLi engine, I have now seen the light and purchased my first turbo car, an Impreza WRX PPP. Owned it since August and it puts a smile on my face every time I go for a drive.

It has been dyno'd at 259bhp and has the following mods: Prodrive 330mm Front brakes, Goodridge brake lines, Prodrive Spring kit, HRC 255lph Fuel Pump, Pro-R air filter, STi Intercooler +hood-scoop / under tray,
afterburner center section, front strut brace, powerflex bushes, whiteline solid drop links, zunsport S/S Grills, front splitter, ultralite ATEC 18" alloys, B&M quickshift kit, prosport gauges. Planning for more power next year and a few improvements to do some track days.

Have been active on SN, SIDC and Surreyscoobies for a while, but only recently discovered this site, hope Reading is still classed as South East.

Photos before I put the ultralites on:

Oh yes! So nice to finally have torque and not drive everywhere waiting until i could get above 6200rpm, although lift was pretty good....but nothing like boost!
