I own a wrx sti 555 bought it from a friend as a project with a knocking bottom end and the body work was a little tatty
im doing all the body work and engine rebuild my self

Welcome, car is coming together nicely

 

Welcome, thats looking good, have you got a spec for the engine

 

would like 350 + when finished
unsure what these Subaru HF pistons are good for ?
new forged pistons if these HF pistons are no good for around 350+
h-section rods, acl bearings,standard size crank,mls head gaskets, reconditioned heads,front mount, filter, 3" exhaust
running td05 for now but will be upgrading before getting it mapped
I no tuning can get expensive I did a 550bhp sapp cossie last year and I don't wona turn this in to a money pit

 

Welcome from another v2 555 owner

 

Looking good. Any pics of the cossie

 

 

I own a powder coating business and just carnt help my self with the wheels

 

Very very nice, love it

 

Hello and welcome from another 555 sti owner also called Paul.

 

had some spare time today to finish flatting and buffing the car now ive finished painting it, been hard work but its getting there now, (wings are only sat on) just the bumper to sort

 

Nice looking cosworth and 555. You say you own a powder coating company hmmmm may have to enquire about that.

 

Well done mate coming together very nicely!

 

thinking going back with gold wheels what you guys think ?

 

Gold is my preference on the 555. It Doesnt always suit some of the newer models that are a lighter blue IMO. But i think gold looks great with 53C.

Paintwork looks fantastic.

 

Great to see one be restored to its former glory. I'd say gold but I'm bias.

 

Nice Subaru mate,but that cossie looks the dogs ********SJ.
