As we all know that Elmer Fudpucker's RB5 is/was a really fantastic example of an Impreza RB5 (btw were has it gone?).

Just to remind you




Since being a member on NASIOC I have seen some realy nice and some fantastic looking scoobs and one in perticular ESEMS 06 WRX STI.

Seen here:


One item that I think makes that car look extra nice is those Work Emotions in Gunmetal (8X18)

Seen here:


(He has since sold these and has got Volks)

So this got me thinking

Why not put those Work Emotions onto Said RB5 ??

Well I have just done that.

PLEASE BE WARNED SOME SERIOUS LOOKING RB5





Darren
P.S. Elmer/Jon I hope you don't mind

 

Prefer it with the old wheels tbh

 

Nice job Daren.

I was surprised when ESEMS swapped those wheels, still think I prefer the Works to the Volks.

Great job but I prefer it as it was too.

Rotating callipers?

 

I supose you are all right in saying that it looked nicer before i P'Shoped it.

lol at the Rotating callipers

 

Looking good for me

 

I like it better before. . . .

 

darren

looks good both versions....tart

you really do have too much time on your hands, but I know what you like to do..get that pratice in on pshop

 

Jon(Elmer) bought my STi PPP back in 2004 and I took old RB5#378 in part exchange.

I kept the car for about a year and then sold it to another SN member, Kevinperth, however I'm not sure of the car's current whereabouts.

Last I heard, Kevin had advertised it on SN for sale, but not sure if it went.

HTH

Anyway, FWIW, I prefer the car with the Turinis, which I'd have loved, but they were swapped for OZ P1 WRCs before I took ownership due to the narrow rubber stretched on the wide wheels
. The gunmetal wheels look more at home on the MY06 than the classic IMHO.

 

Very good skill there my friend.

Must admit the New age looks sweet, and i like the wheels on the RB5 as well, looking very good.

 

Thanks for letting us know.
Darren

 

Sorry, I think it was much better before.

 

You've also got the Brembos arseways on the first attempt. Looks really odd.

 

Hmm...wonder what they would look like on a P1...

 

nice one Darren

 

Looks good with them wheels, at least they're not Superleggeras

 

Got to love self gratification followed by total disagreement

 

heres your answer



Darren

 

Holy **** that is gorgeous

 

agree

 

Me too. In fact, it's the nicest new age Impreza i've seen

 

I'm trying really hard to like the 06's,but there's too much wrongness with the bonnet and grille!

 

Jon,

In the interests of your sanity, not to mention your wallet..... I think you should refrain from "trying to like the MY06's" cos sod's law, you'll end up down the dealers trading in the 05

 

It's amazing how many '05 owners don't like the '06 - in fact it's disproportionate.

 

I think the emotions seem to suit the newage cars better,
Speedlines just look so pefect and timeless on the classic scoob

 

...ease up!,'banana' is a BIG word at this time of night

 

Up your bum Fudpucker

 

That's just weird... A P1 for Marty Feldman

 

I can see where you are comming from. The std style rb5 alloy would look better in 18" maybe. (you can get magnesium ones from speedline)
Darren
I know what you mean. If the bonnet creases did not taper like they do and where more like the 05 bonnets, it would look better, perhaps.

I can see that happening...to much money in your pocket

You should get some decent hosting!!
