my white spec d thread

It's a cat back system fitted by the previous owner, cobra system.
Other than that its staying standard. Tbh the power it has is fine for me, I just plan on up keep and good fuel,
Should the worse happen and a headgasket fail, being in the trade I have a good mate who knows the impreza like the back of his hand, who will take out the engine and fit a new hg for £250 plus the parts, if I do go down that route then I'd have a look at the positions to see their condition and if worse comes to worse I'd forge them,
I'm not big into engines so in aware of the minimum needed to put it back together safely to run just a standard map.
I'm 50/50 on getting a window top spoiler and sti fog covers. So ill see on those, but suspension and wheel wise it will stay the same, I also want a spec c roof vent again as that was one of the best mods I did on my blob.

I'm much the same on the power front. I don't 'need' more power as i'm not track daying it. There is something that feels very wrong about the fact I've got an API forged piston build (after the HG fail) and am still running standard power though lol
I did a load of whiteline mods on my WRX blob and I'd really recommend them to you if you've never tried it. Makes the capable standard power much more fun! Will be the next thing for me

well my exhaust tip turned up this morning, and there had been a cockup.
while it was the right size, with burnt tip they sent a tip with internal baffle like this
so decided to spin it down to seperate the skins on the lathe next door

this let me tap the insides out, but i did lose my burnt tip
next i took the back box off and cut the tip off

Yep only the JDM 2.0 hawks have the unequal headers all other hawk 2.5's are unequal iirc. Another reason they beat the UK cars! That said everything I read lead me to thinking the burble was hard to get back until my exhaust severed at the centre box... safe to say that brought the burble right back (not a good way to go about doing it though!).
