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 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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.

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.
![]() 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. |

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. |

Nice
Tein springs work well on these too and good value from Alyn ![]() |

How much lower do they make the car, roughly?

See below. IIRC the before pics where on Prodrive Lowered Springs which didn't seem to drop a great deal from OE STi.
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 : ![]() ![]() ![]() AFTER TEINS FITTED : (dropped an extra 14mm front, 20mm rear) ![]() ![]() |

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. |
