Matt's Crystal Grey Impreza
Hello,
Not new to the site though I have gotten myself back into a Subaru.
For those that don't know, this is my 3rd Impreza, I started off with a 2003 Blob STI and then moved to a 2002 Prodrive Bugeye STI.
I ended up selling my bug to buy a house with the other half, so I've been dying to get another Subaru, it may not be another STI but its better than nothing!
So here it is,
2005 Impreza WRX with PPP 82k miles
The only real extras it had was V9 front Brembo's and the prodrive pack.
It unfortunately comes with the most awful alloys known to man

V9 STI 3 Spoke Black Steering Wheel

I then moved on to Detango'ing the headlights:

Well, I picked up a PSI3 data monitor from a fellow site member.
Had to purchase a new CD player too so I didn't have a random gap in the centre console so just went with a Sony Bluetooth head unit:
Before:
After:
I have to say, very happy with the PSI3 data monitor, Its nice to be able to keep an eye on everything.

Santa brought me a nice JDM Red hazard, surprisingly he brought me one last year too, but for my last subaru lol
I decided to have a go at painting the centre console, I have seen someone local with a mat black dash and loved it so thought id give it a go. I used plasti dip so I could remove it if I Fcuked it up!
Silver trim removed:
No during pictures just straight to the finished product:
C&C welcome as always.

I also changed the exhaust, I switched from the prodrive exhaust to a Japspeed backbox / centre section. I just think the prodrive exhaust is far too quiet!
Also have a Decat downpipe to go on before the next mapping session, then next up is decat uppipe & fuel pump
Will get a video up ASAP

Excellent progress very nice looking motor apart from the BKtype alloys how and why do people put such Evo alloys on a scoob I'll never know will certainly be rewarding when you put the new alloys on what type you thinking??

I know, they really do let it down but I figured i would start on the inside first, need to pay some of the credit card off first lol
I've always had PFF7's on my subaru's though I like these revolution alloys:

Yeah she'll need lowered, I live out in the country with a lot of back roads, I find the car rolls a bit too much, saying that I could get a couple of strut braces and see how I get on lol.
Here send me through a link in case I cant find the wheels!
Edit: Just found them: https://www.scoobynet.com/wheels-and...e-or-swap.html
Unfortunately they're out of my price range at the moment, plus id need to get them shipped to me so probably another £50 ontop lol.

I used 1000 wet & dry then worked my way up to 3000 I think it was, then went on to the DA, compound then polish, then used Meguiars plastic x to give them a bit of protection.
