STI v4 Wagon finally here!
Some pics of my new WRX STI v4 Wagon, arrived from Bristol on Friday and I spent most of Saturday cleaning and polishing it and checking it over. I have not driven it yet as it is not registered but I am well impressed with the overall condition, mint 17" Prodrive's and a cat back Fujitsubo stainless system too, sounds sweet 
. I will post up more pics once I have it on the road 
Cheers
Ian

Good Wagon turn out at the latest West Sussex meet. Two new recruits practising formation parking under the guidance of Washout Windust and Krud Simpleton
Shame the fastest colour is not there!

Royal silver has a chromium dilute factor of only seven, compared with most colours having a nominal reactive sequence of at least twelve. This leads to festering at the corners of panels and thus more wind resistence above speeds of 32 namets per second. Tests undertaken in a small corner of my brain have revealed this to be so. And thus you are right Ian. But I won't bore you with the science.
When are you coming to Brighton?

I'm going to Mocom 30.08 to have (probably), a GEMS ecu fitted and a remap. I don't think there will be any other issues with the car so I will be available for a Essex to Brighton run any time after that date...I even have the Friday off day after the remap to go play in traffic

Yes - I hear you
The jalbar coating is wax-inverted after contact with the rostrum. This leaves a pernickety-wiggle to roll around under sharp cornering, especially if you are opening a bottle of fizzy-pop at the same time.
The GRP construction will loosen if not tightened before-hand with a giggle-wrench. I'll say no more on this subject.

will i need to get my giggle-wrench recalibrated before attaching the GRp bonnet...I guess i had better err on the side of caution...wouldn't want to suffer any uberfipple under high g manoeuvre's

I am tempted to reply - but it might be seen as hijacking the thread (as we have no photos). We should deal with this matter in the Technical Section.............
