interior wise it has an ati centre pod with oil pressure,temperature and boost.
a 2 gauge pillar pod with water temperature and volts.
the centre console has been painted black (top vent is being repainted due to a scratch so its missing in the pic) and has the red jdm hazard switch.
for stereo i have a pioneer f930bt sat nav unit with all doors dynamatted and hertz components in the front and hertz in the rear with spacers to enable larger speaker fitment
the handsfree mic is hidden under the trim and the gps aerial is underneath the wiper panel out off sight.
i also routed the ipod cable to centre console and made a bracket to mount it under the lid and added another 12v socket for a phone charger in the centre console pocket and recovered the lid in black leather with red stitching.
i made a custom bracket to mount a fire extinguisher under the passenger seat, i made this last week and have yet to paint it black.

What a load of bull this is, and I quote:-
"finally finished". "after 2 and a bit years i have finally got a look for my blob sti that im happy with."
The first time I have ever read/hear that from a Impreza owner lol
Only joking with you. Its a stunning looking car, the mods you have done are all tasteful and suit it perfectly, fav is the roof vent, always liked these.........
So what are you doing next then?

i was going for subtle look.
i have some ap 6 pots for the front and when they have been fitted i will sell on my front and rear brembos and get some ap rears.
engine wise i have all the parts in my garage excluding front mount which i have ordered from harvery today and turbo as still deciding which to get but looking like sc46 billet and syvecs ecu which i will get when its mapped.
so starting this weekend i will fit front mount and induction kit, i have a h and s 3 inch decat exhaust and uppipe,fpr,tubular headers,reflowed injectors then make a final decision on turbo and map on 20% meth so looking at 450 - 500 bhp.
the car has had a new exedy pink clutch and lightweight flywheel ready for the mods.

Im due for the same clutch set-up very soon, have you noticed a difference with the lightened flywheel? I have high hopes for this in making the car feel more responsive, am I right?

the engine revs a lot better with the flywheel but i also have lightweight pulleys so it all adds up.
but i have had no problems with either clutch or flywheel and its a worthwhile mod, id recommend it

the clutch pedal is a little harder to press but ok and the bite is sharper.

To be fair TT you have put some thought into the mods carried out to your car and it shows and is a credit to you.
It's not what seems to be the 'norm' of buying a load of parts and throwing them at the car, and then wondering why the overall package is less than how the car was previously ie less than the sum of it's parts.

im trying to build a fast road occasional track car so hopefully when i fit my brake upgrades and engine parts it will be that.
for me part of the fun is researching the parts you want and then fitting them myself,which i have done on the whole car apart from the roof flap as i was a bit too scared to cut it myself.
also if you modify the car and fit the parts yourself you can offer advice on parts and fitting to other members which hopefully will help steer people away from wrc graphics and do something different

tommy, please could you email me some feedback regarding that catch tank? I can then forward it on to the sales director and we can work some sort of modification out for future tanks.
