Default My Subaru Impreza WRX STI Widetrack Blobeye

Finally got a Subaru Impreza WRX STI Widetrack 2005 which looked great, went to view it straight away, great body work & colour, interior mint condition, DCCD, afterburn through pipe with a 5" raptor exhaust & prodrive 17" alloys & a baileys blow off valve. I've bought new STI mudflaps, STI car mats, getting tinted all around tomorrow & fly eyes & will be getting a roof scoop but haven't made my mind up fully with it yet.











Then gave it a big clean & had it tinted all around with a sunstrip















Then i debadged the rear, smoked the back lights, new sti mudflaps, roof spoiler

Very nice! I cant make my mind up about debadging the rear or not! I presume they are just stuck on?

youre going the wrong direction to chavsville with it mate.
smoked lights look crap as does that thing on the roof and for **** sake if you fit a roof scoop make sure its a spec c functional one and not a fake ebay turd.

personally id take off the roof thing and crap on rear lights off and fit a genuine hawk roof spoiler and just leave the rear and back screens tinted and lose the drug dealer front tints and sunstrip

looks well, would look better if you completed the de badging and took all the sti logos off though Imo. I presume your joking about the roof scoop?

very easy to do mate just takes a while, best way i do it is... pour hot water on the badge, dental floss to remove the badge then adhesive & glue remover then once all removed i t-cut the panel & looks like nothing was ever there

yeah very easy to do, i removed my rear lights & used compound on them to fully clean them, then bought some tint spray & did 3 coats which was dark enough for me & used a heat gun to dry it & looked perfect makes the car look a lot meaner too! i have just done fly eyes on the front headlights which look great & will upload a picture later

Absolutely.

Also replace chuffer valve with a nice OE recirculating unit.
And a 5" exhaust with a straight through pipe - it must be impossible to hear anything inside the car.

To be honest I don't know why it's even fitted it is a very faint noise which isn't very noticeable. How do they make them run like crap?

Do a wee search.

They effect the fuelling of the car as metered(known about) air is dumped out of the system and therefore the mix is wrong.

Well there you go then.
Get the chav valve off and replace with a perfectly good OE recirculating valve.

I have carbon finn roof spoiler and carbon wing plus rear diffuser and some mistake it with Evo (even one Subaru owner) and its looks ok as a tandem.
Roof looks ok but tinted lights are to much, You should detango fronts instead
Sunstrip is practical and looks good.
about bov ,ive got bailey 5 years on car, plus lpg ( no flashlube)4 years and no issues at all
plus invidia n1 race exhaust system some call them lovely ,some sick
