Nopes, tomorrow

 

latest addition: Tributes to the WRC kings





R.I.P

 

Excellent. Look really good on white. Where do you get/buy them ?
Stan

 

i made them myself

 

Wow !!!! - respect !!

 

i know this aint the right place to pos tthis but as hatch owners will look here then i'm sure they will be of interest

these were removed by the dealer from my brand new car as I had other parts fitted:

the car has 13 miles on the clock to give you an indication of the use they've had.

- STI springs

- STI Backbox

- STI front grille

- Standard 6sp gear shift (i had the quickshift fitted)



no idea on their worth so email me your interest @ chairman@rb5oc.co.uk

Nice car chap You said you have the Prodrive springs on. What do you think of them?? Do they drop the car much? I contacted my dealer only the other week to see if the springs were available but they said no. How long ago did you get them? Also if you don't mind how much are they and what did the dealer charge to fit them?
I was really hoping to fit these before our trip to Litchfield so they would have time to settle before getting them to do my laser alignment

Cheers

Ben

 

just bought the car, had the springs fitted along with the other stuff before o collected

no idea on what they cost as it was all part of the deal.

speak to Paul flitton or Matin @ slipend garage who will sort u out

Wellcome Azir to the 08/09 subaru section

Great looking car and excellent price too

Have you read up on the reflash that you might need being a euro import should be £40 aprox for a local dealer to do it.

fantastic spec compared to the uk modles you have there

 

got the rb320 wheels on today, totally transformed the car's looks now!!!

 

PICS!

 

Ben

tell your dealer he's a **** and he's obviously useless at his job, here's pics of the rear springs on mine, the fronts didnt have visible PRODRIVE on so must have been in the cup of the strut

 

After cleaning, polishing, waxing and protecting the calipers, i did the same to the wheels, then fitted them yesterday, I love the look.

Colour and style of wheel has totally transformed the car, cant wait to get the tints and c/f roof spoiler








I had a look at fitting my lower lip spoiler taken from my hawkeye, they changed the bloody fixing method (which looks a lot better btw) but f'in annoying for me!!!

 

Nice one thanks mate Looks like there may even be some part numbers to chuck at him as well there!!

Like the wheels too, good job, really smart looking rocket

Ben

 

i would have given you the part numbers but the box with the STI springs is now up in the loft, i may have to go up there to get a tyre down so will get the number then.

 

Can deffinately see myself in an STI hatch in the future but I hope Subaru 'facelift' the rear lights to get rid of the lexus look.

Look smart in white!

I do like the practical side of the hatch back.

 

do you have link were i can read about the modles and differace it is from the uk specs.

 

Hi Azir

I have the same model as you. Got mine from motor depot S****horpe.
BBS 18' wheels, sat nav, rear tinted windows, Recaro front seats and push button start are what you have extra over the Type UK.

What you don't get is a cat 1 alarm and tracker.

You'll also need your ECU updating which can be done by a Subaru dealer under warranty

 

Hi RB5 286

Where did ya get the LED side lights bulbs from ? Presumably bright white as compared to the standard yellow hue.

Also did you change the spot light bulbs (yellowey again) ? For what ?

Gotta say it is really outrageous when Subaru sell a car like these with the 17" mini wheels - looks like a proton or something .... but then with 18" - my o my - transformation. (I got the 18" silver BBS on mine).

Thanks

Apostle

 

you can buy the LED's from anywhere online, about £10, yes bright white

not changed the fog light bulbs, didnt think about them

the 18's look actually quite small still compared to when they were on the hawkeye

 

rb5 286......car is looking good.....the wheels does set it off.....

 

You have probably all seen this site already, but for those that haven't here it is:

japanparts.com : PARTS DATABASE

 

they advertised that the car comes with cat 1 alarm and tracker how can i find out if my has it or not because i will make them pay for it.

new Subaru Impreza hatchback's at Motor Depot Car Supermarkets

 

Just had mine remapped under warranty, took 30 minutes and I was away, Waldonway, Larkfield are always happy to to work on EU Imports for anyone who needs theirs done.

Whilst I was there thought it would be rude not to prchase a few items from the accessory book, fogs being the main item, cannot wait to fit them along with front mesh which I will be ordering in a minute!!

Cheers
A

 

I hear what your saying.

If its got a tracker you should have some paper work and certificate.
Talking of paper work have you got your manuals yet?

I only knew to look out for these because my previous WRX was a euro import too.

I had to pay extra to have the tracker alarm fitted

 

arron, you got the fogs, did you get the replacement stalk for the steering column as the original one doesnt have the fog controls on it?

front mesh? like mine?

if so, iot will need to be painted as it comes in primer.

 

Fogs, yep, came in a huge box with stalk, relay and all the gear, seems the car is pre-wired for the fogs so hoping they should be relativly easy to fit. Seems a wates of money though to have a whole new stalk dedictated to cars with fogs, unless it also goes on something like the new Legacy that may have fos as standard!

Mesh, went for the Zunsport mesh that fits the stock grill, originally wanted the Subaru option mesh but thought Silver Mesh on a silver car was not for me so went for the black. Was tempted by your new grill but quite liked the
silver accent on the stock grill, especially as it matches the silver on the fogs.

Did notice though yesterday that the new fogs have some mesh in which now won't match my new grills, grrr.
