I bought this last December after searching around for a while for a low mile minter to use as a weekend/dry weather car (not easy with with scoobs these days)...Anyway after a few leads on scoobyireland the deal was done and its pretty much been parked up ever since as i didn't want to use it on salty roads. Its one of the last made in December 2000 with a genuine 47k miles and has been pampered by its previous owners.

So far i've had the following done.
Refurb'd brakes due to a seized piston
New Brake fluid
Fitted 17" Speedline ST2's
New rear Sachs dampers
Tein springs
Oil change
Fully undersealed
Fitted turbo back prodrive exhaust
and cleaned it alot

Its going to A.I this week to have a few go faster bits fitted.
Bigger turbo
550 Injectors
newage intercooler painted black
K&N Panel filter
Walbro 255
NGK PFR 7B's
Then JGM will be mapping it with Alcatec in a few weeks hoping for around 340bhp.

Then its for a full detail and then to get the roof painted to get rid of bird **** burns and just keep it mint from there on. Oh and a 555 number plate to be added

 

Very nice

 

Lovely unspoilt clean car ,wheels look great.

 

Very nice looking classic mate.

 

Same as mine, lovely colour when the sun hits it. I thought my 60k was low mileage but this looks a little gem. Your box won't like 340! I would personally keep it more stock. Yes it's a low mileage but it's still an old engine. 300bhp would be plenty on a classic like this, fit a vf28 or a vf35 turbo and walbro 255, cheeky map job done. Wouldn't worry about the 550s your 440s would be ok.

 

That's a nice example mate

 

very nice, looks clean

 

Very nice

 

Really nice, exactly the same as mine, except mines on standard alloys.

 

Same colour as my first Subaru way back when I was 21
Lovely car had 3 classics all uk2000 models
Very nice example

 

yeah my first one was a 99 Turbo 2000 with 60k on it about 10 years ago, ive owned another 3 since in among other jap and german performance motors and now ive found myself back where i started with a cheap daily driver and a mint scoob for the weekends.

 

That is a beaut, looks in great nick!

I'd echo the comment about not bothering with the 550s, my 440s are absolutely fine at 325bhp.

 

Ah well the 550's are in and all so they will do no harm, might be able to squeeze a bit more out of her with the 550's

 

Looks very clean, great colour

 

Very nice classic
Don't see many st2 wheels especially in silver too

 

Great looking scooby

 

snap

 

Thanks lads

 

Nice lad very nice, seen it for sale last year and thought how nice and mint it looked..wheels are perfect on it as well

 

Very nice car, they still look pretty after all these years when kept nice, like yours.

 

So there's been a few upgrades since last time, its now running around 340bhp thanks to all the bits i added and JGM mapping the Alcatec. Also got a set of 2008 sti brakes which i refurbished in Ford Polaris grey and new discs and pads, had to add 15mm spacers and longer studs to get the brakes to fit behind the ST2's....it goes and stops really well now

 

Quick question if I may. I have a type r and also have st2's fitted, to which I am wanting to add 15mm hubcentric spacers. Do you have any problems with tyres catching the arches or is it fine?

Any pics to show how the wheel now sits in the arch and did you fit front and rear brembos?

Cheers,

Wayne.

 

This is now for sale as we have our first baby due in 2 weeks and it barely gets driven as it is. If anybody would like a run down of the history and spec give me a shout on 07933594400 or by PM on here

cheers

 

Very nice classic��

 

Thanks mate, ill be sad to see it go as its got to be one of the best left.
Its just had the roof, bonnet scoop and wing mirrors painted to get rid of a few scrapes and is now getting a full detail before i do an advert for it.

Subaru Collector 555.
