Default JDM Impreza WRX STI Spec C Motorsport Edition 16"

Hello to everyone!
Here my "new" little Impreza Spec C. Bought it 2 weeks ago and now in Italy with me.
She have very low miles, only 26.000, and totally standard apart 17" alloy wheels, Apexi boost meter and an STI Genome front strut bar.
Presented in original white, spoilerless, WRX brakes, N/A Sport seats, but with Air Conditioning and 4 speakers radio.
Used mostly on the road in Japan, with all the stamps on the service book.
I have only the advert images because here in Padova it's raining all days from when I came home and I can't wash her and make some good photos.
Want to memake the first update tomorrow when I receive the first package from Germany
Stay tuned!

It's about time someone bought that one. Won't take much to turn that into a great car

And now the back box is installed, a bit more sound, but nothing compared to the ones that you can put without police problem in UK.
Here when I bought it last week



And then afer some hours of polishing






Now it's raining, but next days I'll make some photos and a little video of the sound

I followed the ad for some months, hoping no one have bought it. Finally I decided to buy this beautiful car (not perfect, but very good)

Yesterday I made a little mod to level out the lights between the cluster, the radio and the HVAC control
They are just 2 led (T5) to change, easy mod but I prefer all red!

After rebuild the calipers was painted in the same red of the fron AP Racing and this is the result

And here the front 355mm BBK from AP Racing

Today I was thinking about the weigh of my car, so I went to the nearest weigh house and here the bill, 1340 kg



With:
- about 20 liters of fuel (circa 14 kg)
- full intercooler water tank (other 11 kg circa)
- full wiper washer bottle (other 2 KG)
- space saver wheel with crick (other 18 kg I've read here)
This mean the weight will be about 1295 kg..not bad, but I can make something better in the future.
