So after a little bit of time away from Subaru ownership (I used to own a bugeye WRX estate) I got the itch again and picked this up yesterday:



I'd never driven an STI before, and WOW it's so much fun. I haven't looked forward to driving so much in all my life!

 

Nice stiffies
more pics would be nicer

 

Go on then... just one more as I don't want to get accused of whoring

 

That is mintttt very nice indeed I'd keep it as it is Gorjas mate
What you got planned?

 

Thanks. I think I'm planning on keeping it nice... it needs some paint on the front as I hate stone chips and the wheels could do with a refurb to be mint. A couple of the dashboard bulbs have died too so I'll fix those (is it hard to replace the Intercooler water spray and fog light button bulbs, should I just get new switches or is there a bulb that can be replaced behind them?).

Other than that I'm happy with it how it is at the moment. I'd considered a different exhaust, Walbro 255 l/hr fuel pump, air filter and remap but I'm actually quite content with it as it is at the moment. We'll see.

 

Speedo bulbs are easy on the switches side of things there's plenty of breakers on here that will be happy to help but out of curiosity is your interior light working could it be a fuse instead as the switches don't really go to be honest let us know how you get on mate

 

very nice mate, looks the same as mine apart from the stiffies

 

Thanks, everything's working except front fog, intercooler spray and air con fan speed bulbs. Is the hazard lights button supposed to illuminate when the head lights are on? If so, that bulb is dead too. The Speedo bulbs are all good (and seem to be the only thing I can find a 'how to' guide on).

Can I just get new bulbs or do I need to get new switches, any ideas?

 

Thanks. In the least homosexual way possible, I love the stiffies

 

Get the switches off a breaker on here Matty b will have defo he gets the best cars for breaking IMO and a top chap to deal with aswell

 

Chaps! I'm tempted to swap the wheels that I have with ones like this:



Is this a good idea or not? My wheels could do with a refurb anyway so I'm thinking it might be easier to get another set and refurb them. Being fairly new to this Scooby game I'm not sure which wheels are considered 'better'. The seller tells me they came off a Blobeye STI so should fit perfect.

 

think those wheels may be a different off set so might not fit yours. what year is it?

 

Hmmm. It's an '04... won't they fit all Blobeye STI's... I'd have thought they're all the same aren't they? Or am I wrong?

Is there anywhere that has specs of the wheels I have and the specs of these?

 

narrow track blob stis are 100 pcd the later ones are 114 pcd.
i think those are from the widetrack so wont fit

 

Argh, nice one! These are 114pcd according to the seller. Mine's not a Widetrack...makes sense now. Thanks!

 

Car looks very nice,will keep an eye out always over eastbourne way,dont forget to join up to www.southeastscoobies.co.uk if you not already on there

I've just joined.

 

So I just found this in my car, is it normal? And what is it?



I apologise if that's a really stupid question!

 

So seconds after posting that I found this! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Imp...oAAOSwnipWY3AT

It seems I may have a Sigma alarm fitted!? How can I check that this is actually the case? And is a Sigma alarm any good?

 

factory sigma alarm key pad, do you have a remote fob?

 

I think I just have 2 keys, should I have something else too?
