Yes very much possible, You'll need the cosworth or RCM Blanks for the cylinder heads.

I opted for cosworth & had Andy f Map the system out for me

Yes.
Can only speak for the Hatch 2.5, but mine went noisy, and then was taken off and blanked at rear air feeds, and the error codes in ECU disabled.
Think mine was blanked off by tapping the block and screwing in plugs, since it was out of the car!

Thanks Rob, is everything removed or do you leave the sensors / looms in place?

Everything has been removed so theres no pump/valves etc on it anymore.

I taped the multiplugs that originally were used back into the loom under the manifold

Well I picked up some more goodies today for the car, one being a rear waist level spoiler which will be painted in body colour to keep it subtle.



Plus whilst at my local dealer I also picked up a set of GT2 wheels in silver, these are going to be repainted in gloss black which I am hoping will really work well with the WR blue.

I did have a set of GT2 wheels in anthracite, but I did sniffmydiff a favour as he wanted anthracite wheels and as my wheels were being repainted anyway it made no real difference to me other than saving Geraint the price of getting a set of wheels painted. The anthracite is now out of stock with Subaru and no more stock looking like it will become available.



If someone could PS the above image to show a WR blue car with glossy black wheels then that would be great.

My order for the Whiteline KDT902 bush kit from Litchfield Imports got cancelled due to them having no stock, so I ordered a set from Indigo GT for the very reasonable price of £40.83 and as I will collect there will be no delivery charge either.

I think the waist spoiler looks spot on fitted, Ty.

Those wheels have been on a bit of a journey!

No problem Daz it will be subtle as you will only really notice it sideways on, I think the Whiteline stuff they have to order in but it can be there in 1-2 days so no big delay.

I will have a look at the package deal that they are doing as well.

I like them but I can see why others might not like it, that's the thing with the GR Impreza is that there are so many genuine STi accessories for them.

There was very little choice on the newage and classic models, the GR's can be tailored to suit virtually any taste.

You did a great job of shrinking them by 1" in diameter!

Thanks Bio, it gives a good indication of what they'll look like plus there are going to be other black items on the car as well.
