Well back with something a little special now... Big thanks to max at Hurst Cars who was an absolute gent from start to finish of the purchase.

Absolute stock White jdm hawkeye with the stronger 2.0 jdm engine and all the little trick bits included.



This is how I collected the car

BEAUTIFUL and you have nice taste!
The sound of the decatted twin scroll mated to the Genome will be something else!
Not jealous at all
Who are you getting to map it?
How many miles does it have?

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Still getting used to the the car and already have a few plans in mind... More cosmetic really.

The build stopped as the bug went mate, luckily it was Alyn building the engine at ASP he was very understanding as Alyn is

Cheers mate can't wait to have some noise from the car, the standard Sti system fully catted is extremely quiet

Did I mention I have a genuine jdm roof flap in the house ready for Frayz to fit

Very nice car indeed, I've no doubt you're going to love it and the twin scroll engine and Genome exhaust are a great combination.

That's awesome! Glad you've got another one.
The gearnob I'm not too sure on, search for subaru duracon gearknob, mine was $88 but it's pure awesomeness - it's the genuine version of what you have, it feels like glass and has an awesome shine.

This one was given to me by max at Hurst Cars as a gift they can be bought though, little pricey I think though

Cheers mate, like the feel of this one... The oe is a little bulky for me

Thanks to all for the kind comments when time and funds allow the car will be awsome... Not getting rid of this one anytime soon that's for sure

Beautiful mate

Im interested to see how much hp you can get out of the standard turbo, etc. I think you can get circa 400hp with the VF37 iirc.

Regards,

Subaru Collector 555.

Thanks mate, I read the vf37 should produce around 350-360hp... I will update when it's been mapped but anything around there should make for a nice road car
