Very nice, but just to be pedantic it is a MY15, the MY14 was the older shape which Subaru UK didn't import.(Last UK cars of that spec where MY13 I believe)

Love it mate. Mine is probably the nicest Subaru I've owned to date. Great cars these. Looks lovely.

I'd keep the front splitter, to be honest I think that's all they need, don't like the side skirt or rear lip extensions you can also get. The front splitter just helps with its profile

Agreed on flaps also, they ruin the look of the car and I hate wind deflectors with a passion lol

So all in all I love it they way you have it now!

I always run Miller's nano 10w50 in my 08 hatch but it uses no oil, if it used oil I'd switch to likes of Total quartz racing 10w50 which I ran for years in my old hawk sti that had a fairly thirsty oil appetite but Total oil isn't that expensive to be continually topping up with, Millers is!

Funnily enough I took all my mud flaps off this weekend too as I kept driving over them when reversing into my drive. Was becoming really annoying as they just hang too low. They never really offended me, just got fed up with them being in the way all the time.

Fuchs Titan is what has served me well but I’ve heard good things about the millers nano.

I don’t suppose there is a lot in it, I’m probably not going to benefit much from fuchs to millers, although I have read that the millers has a superior cold start protection.
My car being a daily too

You're not going to notice any difference between the 2 oils realistically. So long as you're not running used chip fat in the engine you'll be fine. As an expert once told me, the only bad oil is no oil.

I’ve noticed that place you got your super sexy exhaust from are putting together some performance packages

That's interesting to know. The owner has a 2015+ STI too and he's developed a few bits for it already. He also does EcuTek Racerom remaps at very reasonable prices.

Cracking job, that's a bargain! Do you know for sure that the scorpion boxes mate up to the H&S centre pipe? They look like they should to be honest.

Use O.E bolts to fix the Scorpion rear silencer to the O.E system.

Just need a couple of gaskets?

Excellent job then. Yes, you'll just need 2x standard 2.5" exhaust gaskets and you're sorted! Plus you'll need a new donut gasket for the centre pipe to downpipe joint.

Any 63mm (2.5 inch) gasket like below will be fine. Make sure you buy one that's metal ringed like below.

Only use genuine donut gaskets though.

Nice car. I like the understated touches. I feel exactly the same about the exhaust trims on my hatch, but just haven't got around to taking them off and spraying them.
I found the Cosworth filter let a large amount of dust into the maf area, having used k&n for years. Now I'm using an AEM dry filter, which seems good.

Quite a few people have raised concerns over the quality of the cosworth filters,proceed with caution sivo.

Car looks lovely though buddy and I knew it wouldnt be long until you had it revamped.

Looking good,

Was going full decat (assuming the H&S downpipe replaces the first cat) a part of keeping it safe, or are you sticking it to the polar bears?

Headgaskets lifting sounds like a win, beats fishing piston ringlands out of the sump

On a serious note you sold your blobeye & bought a £20k(ish) motor with the intention of doing an engine rebuild on it
