Hi folks,
I have a pearlescent white hatch with grey prodrive gt1's that are going in for a refurb on saturday, was toying with the idea of gloss black but after seeing a white Evo today with blue wheels its got me thinking and im considering this kind of colour scheme.
Do you think this colour would suit the hatch???

Heres a question for this of you who have after market exhausts fitted to the hatch, all variants of the hatch.

When the time comes for me to change from the standard exhaust on my STi I would prefer a single or twin tail pipe on one side of the car rather than standard quad tail pipes.

Does anyone know is the dark plastic trim on the lower rear bumper interchangeable for one from a WRX, which is designed for a single exhaust tail pipe.

Secondly Hayward & Scott offer a 3" exhaust with sports cat which retains the transverse back box positioning of the standard STi.

Anyone else done this or consider it?

Im just no a fan of the quad tail pipes.

Any photos of the H&S 3" on any hatch?

The lower black part is fixed as part of the bumper and isnt interchangable

all 2008-on cars will have MetaSat security, you should have deals about it in your dealer pack/hand book.

it's 100 euro per year and it gives text message satellite tracked security, plus other option on text message you if your car goes over a set speed etc.

click on METAsat

But it's rubbish if you want to track the car's whereabouts!

It doesn't send a real time signal ( as other systems do ) of it's location it just replies where it is if you ask it via text or if some preset event occurs - low battery, speed excess.

If thieves get your keys it's not worth a fig!
I found this when my 2008 STi went with the keys from burglary. Only texted where the battery was removed .. police found nothingt there!
