Well, 6 months without a Scoob proved too long so at the weekend i picked up a 2002 Prodrive Sti Bugeye. I've already got it booked in with Jake (Cuprajake) for a little tidy up but apart from that it drives spot on. Its done 65k and given a couple of months i'll have it looking splendid. Ordered some 18" Rota Gtr's yesterday so they should arrive this week.





Interior also needs a good clean and i'm also toying with the idea of changing the exhaust for something a little more user friendly

 

Welcome back Kev

 

Good choice of car Not that I'm biased in any way

 

Cheers guys, 5 days in and the first modification arrived. When I got the car home we noticed that half of the original air box is missing so I've had to buy this filter:



Hope its an easy job to do it yourself !!!

 

Welcome back Kev... Lovely looking bug pal

Martin

 

Very nice, GTRs are a good choice too

 

Thanks, its going in today to have a couple of small dents removed from the rear doors, next week its booked in with Andrew Carr to check the Map and the week after its in the bodyshop for some paint on the bumpers.

Once its minted up i should be able to just sit back and enjoy it for a while.

 

Dream on, it's an Impreza - if something doesn't break the modding bug will bite

 

Well I've had the car a week now and its been quite manic. First of all, Jake noticed half the air box was missing so purchased the induction kit. Car was in at Jakes on Friday having a couple of small dents removed from the rear doors so he kindly fitted the induction kit for me, I had to trim the air feed snorkel myself:


Then I stumbled on some 18" Rota Gtr's in Gunmetal and fitted some 225/40/18 Nankang N2 Sports:


Quick picture with wheels fitted and parked on neighbours drive:


This morning I've been busy taking unwanted wiring to and from the battery to a tacky bass box in the boot. Give the engine bay a quick clean but it needs doing properly when the sun comes back out:


And finally this morning I took the boot carpet out and and cleaned it. Can't tell you how filthy this was but its come up ok I think:


Only problem I have at the minute is the rear wheels are catching slightly on the arches when you hit a bump in the road but I'm on with rectifying this. Cars also booked in this week with Andrew Carr for a health check and possible tweek to the map before going into Jakes for a tiny bit of paint the following week.

 

As ive said before this is the only model I would get rid of my type r for, looks cracking

 

Cars been in and minted at Jakes this last week, looks absolutely stunning in the flesh:

 

Looking mint again now Kev.

That it now finished spending on it?

 

Erm No lol.

Thinking I may put a rear roof spoiler on it next and have the rear window tinted

 

Make sure its bolted on ha ha.

Windows are being done on mine at end of month £100

 

Lol, I'm getting one of the proper 3 piece ones this time. Mine only needs the rear doing, he rear sides are already done. Who's doing yours?

looks stunning! with the induction kit was that a bolt in and go part, read on here a few times that people have had problems with them

 

Thought i may as well update this thread as i've added a couple more bits to the car since May. Changed the exhaust a few times since then, bought a Toyosport full system which was a terrble fit so that went back, sold the buddy club and bought a Ninja II and that was too quiet so in the end i purchased a new Cobra BB and it sounds perfect:




Then i bought a 3 pc rear roof spoiler and had that painted and fitted, trial fitment:


Final painted fitment:


Then finally, i really couldn't get used to the Rota GTR's i'd bought a few weeks back and when i found these on ebay it made my mind up to swop them:

Fitted to the car:

 

I can't condone the c-pillar spoiler, but besides that it's looking VERY tidy!

 

I know they're not to everyone's taste but i just think they add something to the rear and i much prefer them to the vortex thingies people stick to the roof.

I must also say a big thanks to Jake (Cuprajake) for minting the car for me

 

Looking good Kev.... Spoiler looks great but then I would say that ;-)

Martin
