Default My Impreza Blobeye Spec C Type RA

Some pics I took this morning on a drive over the Preseli Mountains in Pembrokeshire. Cracking roads down there, the car performed flawlessly and was a pleasure to drive.

It's the first chance I've had to let the car loose on something other than dual carriageways and motorways.

Once you've gone twin scroll there's no looking back.

I like both shapes but the Blobeye just about wins out for me, but a Hawkeye Spec C RA is not to sniffed at.

Thanks, only a few subtle mods planned and it's plenty fast enough in standard form.

That's pretty is that, I know this will be well kept in your ownership.

I changed the standard exhaust silencer for a JDM STi aftermarket exhaust silencer, it sounds great and the sound will only get better once bedded in.

I swopped out the head unit for a Pioneer App Radio 2, this integrates really well with an iPhone to give great features and obviously your music as there's no CD slot.

I've ordered a set of Rally Armor UR flaps which in my experience have that best quality and fitment, I'm not a big fan of large mudflaps as they must look like tarmac cleaners to me.

I also fitted some standard header and radiator caps back onto the vehicle, as there were odd looking JDM aftermarket items on the car which I wasn't a big fan of.

There's still a few other jobs that I want to get done but they'll get done as and when, I'm just looking to improve on some areas whilst not making big changes to an already great car.

Should sound nice when bedded in. Not a fan of those dog flaps either, so good move on changing them.

Thanks, I've never liked them myself but I can see why some would fit them to protect the bodywork.

Thanks for the kind words, they're great sounding exhausts.

Post up some pics of your own car.
