Hi evereyone, been a good while (2012) since I was last in an Impreza (previous car was an STI type R which some may remember).

Picked the below WRX STI Prodrive Style (1000 made) 2020 and pretty much dry stored it after I fitted a load of decent spec parts.

Car is pretty immaculate with 30K miles from new.

Welcome back, lovely car, but I bet you wish you'd kept the type r given current values

Nice. I owned your V-Limited blob.

Do the Speedlines fit without spacers?

Yeah the Blobeye was a great car too. Twin scroll does give a great sound.

Yes the wheels are a direct fit but have very little clearance to the calipers.

I liked it more than the (more powerful) Hawk JDM that followed it. It sounded better, too - H+S is definitely the way to go for a twin-scroll exhaust.

I just realised your wheels are 18". Fairly sure 17" Speedlines don't fit over Brembos.

Stunning example. I'd guess that the majority of these has rotted away so will be a good investment.

Great looking bug, nice to see that some have survived the tin worm and unwarranted persecution

It popped up on eBay for a couples of days last year. I managed to get in touch with the seller who was based in Hull.

Cheers. Yeah I've seen a good few that have perished over time.

Little update on the car.

Pulled out the garage on 01/06/21 and passed the MOT with zero issues. Oil & filter change as the car had been stood for 8 months.

Took the opportunity to get the car lowered another 15mm and she sits just right now.

Few pics from the weekend.
