Love a good bug myself, tidy looking and tastefully modded too by the look of things.

Would recommend changing the plates, fuzz wouldn't be impressed by that.

Thanks very much!
To be honest, I've had no problems at all 'so far' and I've drove about with no plate at all for a few days.

Looks amazingly clean bud well done nice and tidy, stay away from those stickers

And i'd keep that milltek as once that Nurspec R has bedded in it should get louder, and if your neighbours haven't beat you into submission your ear drums will have

Nice bug! I'm looking to get a Nurspec R did you just fit the backbox to your miltek pipe or did you have to cut/weld it in? I've got a 3" miltek but not sure how the Nurspec will fit

Thanks! Ha, you not a fan of the stickers then lol.

My last 03 STI had a Nurspec R fitted, loved it so much!
That milltek is long gone, the Nurspec R was fitted about 2 months ago - I'm just slowly updating this thread
And I dislike most of my neighbours anyway lol

Well the Milltek was a full 3" turbo back anyway.
All I changed was the midsection and back box, didn't require any welding etc.

You'll be glad to hear I haven't added any stickers in my ownership, nor have I removed them though lol.

Update:

Had a 4wheel Lazer alignment done. Really happy with the results!




This little package arrived from Japland.
Genuine Subaru Duracon STI gearnob for the small fee of $88!:


Also bought this off a fellow Scoobynet member.
Really happy, it still looks like new!
