It's not just the speakers, the standard head unit isn't great either. I changed my head unit before I got round to doing the speakers and there is a vast improvement over the sound from the standard head unit!

 

Thanks for that

Sorry but I think I may have hijacked this post, as mine should be in ICE.

Will move there and ask for the knowledge of all.

Hi guys
Boot install in the wagon is now finished and sounds awesome,not over the top still stealthy,pics will follow this weekend hopefully in the snow

 

absolutetely blooming beautiful mate . stunning oh if i had some extra cash lying about

 

Great looking wagon , was tempted myself when I first saw the GB270 in urban grey on the net but will finish the SL project first.
Excellent choice .

 

Just wondering how easy the STI front splitter was to fit? And if i can be checky how much it cost?

Cheers

 

Nice one mate thats a stunning wagon

 

Its a scott lowe splitter(sti replica) just needs new holes drilled and slightly bended to fit as its about 1/2" out compared to the saloons bumper,mine has been bonded also, looks great once fitted i think.
Cost £149

 

Hi guys
Some new pics after a bit of a clean thought i,d try some new angles with the camera
Boot sub box is now fitted and fits well and is a perfect match with the trim so i,m happy.
Car has now done nearly 3K and is feeling quicker by the day, of all the scoobs i,ve had this rates as one of the best all rounders with out a doubt !!, and when it rains is when i grab the keys most as she loves getting wet.
Just waiting for my prodrive diff guard and thats about it i think as i really wanna keep it standard.
Hope you like the pics

Had the new 2008 STI for the weekend on demo from Stan Palmers Carlisle,I love the front end but not to keen on the rear looks,but overall i think it looks smart(looks more like a rally car in white IMO)
Drive wise it is so much smoother than the hawk eyes i have had, and is a good compromise between handling and comfort.
The interior looks good but feels a bit cheap compared to my GB270(Cool lit up at night),the seats are great,and the stereo is a great improvement as standard.
Feels a bigger car inside and while driving, and has a lot more leg room in the back.
It didn,t feel any quicker than mine(Had 2000mls on the clock) but probably was faster but the handling was surprisingly good
Here some pics
Has anydody else driven one yet??

Nice drive way

So we have the 2008 STI and the 2007 GB270 But which is Best ?
Theres only one way to find out FIGHT

 

What make is the stealth box, looks really good. Think i'm going to have to get one for my car.

 

Auto accoustics

 

this man speakes wise words

 

Just ordered a seat lowering kit from japan made by HKS to use with OE seats as i have always hated the higher seating position on the newage cars compared to the classics.
I,m hoping it will be alot better, has anyone fitted one of these
Will report back on this one once fitted

 

cool looking car, got a new 2008 sti like Ians demo car and think its a great improvment on my previous impreza

 

Lovely Wagon! Mint!

 

The 2008 Sti is OK but conservative looking; your wagon looks better

 

I think so too

 

Not that I am biased, but I think the Wagon looks much better too

One question Simon - you posted earlier that you changed the lights for the silver instead of chrome - where did you get them from? I am not a great fan of the bling chrome look myself

Cheers,
Graeme

 

Hi Simon,

Quick question about the 08sti you had, the black roof, is that standard? Looks stunning!

Cheers mate

Darren

 

Hi Graeme
When i took the car in for its first service there was a silver wagon on the forecourt and i noticed the lights were silver inside as opposed to bright chrome, i asked then if they would swap em and they did,(stan palmers are good like that)
I,m sure you will be able to buy em from your local dealer or get them to swap if you get on ok with them.
Thank

 

No it was a carbon effect sticker,they also put these on the wing inserts too, looked tacky if you ask me, it would have look better if the roof was professionally sprayed black IMO

 

Ah obviously looks better in the pictures!

Please give us an update when you install the lower seat frames, I'm really interested in them.

Cheers

 

Will Do

 

me too

 

Nicest Wagon imo! i love it and the pics with the 08 and wagon are brilliant, got a new background

 

Are those side and rear spats standard on the GB270? Love em.

Anyone know where I can get some for my hawkeye.
Have looked on accessories on Subaru site but nothing there, tried all the usual places too but no joy.

 

Yes they are standard, you will be able to get them from your local dealer, the part number you need is Front J1010FE351 Rear J1010FE244 Suit wagons only

 

Thanks. Unfortunately have a saloon. Any reason why they wouldn't fit a saloon? Looking at the rear bumper and sideskirts and they look the same

Or maybe I could buy the ones that were meant for the GB270 saloon

Anyhow, what sort of prices are the dealers charging for these parts?

 

Hi,

I picked up my GB270 in March - just noticed some pics of the sports wagon (No.1) - NICE with GB270 mats!?
Mine only came with WRX mats - can anybody clarify whether I should have the GB270 mats??????
Please.
Cheers.
