Well, here she is...

This is what keeps a smile on my face on the drive to and from work and makes that daily grind all worth while!

Enjoy, any comments appreciated...











Whilst she now has a very deep exhaust note (courtesy of H&S/Magnex) and easier-breathing (ITG), I'm locked in to this Prodrive spoiler group buy to finish with the external appearance of the WR Sport!

Now if I can just put aside some money for a TEK2!!!

beautiful, stunning, fantastic, what more can I say. but then I may be slightly biased as mine is identical! seriously though, very nice. I have the WR version but it does not have the Prodrive spoiler unfortunately so am also hoping the group buy comes off!

All the best

Cool

Thanks guys...

Sorry Ian, I don't darken the streets of Windsor or Maidenhead - Living it large in da' West Side (of Berks) - Aiiight!

RB - m8 I'm crossing everything for this spoiler group buy, but will probably get one anyway even if it doesn't come off. These bad boys are the puppies pink bits!!!

Laters & BTTT...

SCHWEEET m8!!! lovely car

like u i cant wait to get the spoiler and to have it painted and delivered for £390 is just a dream come true

these are by far just the best looking scooby around, after all there aint that many that are rarer than these beauties.

i think the colour startles people as they have too look twice to make sure its a scooby.

I have just had a HKS s dragger with open d/p, the sound is awesome, the turbos whistles even louder the radio is a thing of the past

Cheers. The pictures are the original digi shots - it really is that shiny. In fact I can honestly say that it's the best paint finish on any Impreza 'cos I had the whole car resprayed recently after some old codger put a small dent in the rear door but they couldn't match the new paint to the rest of the car. The repairer said that they couln't spray that badly to get the match. The new paint is slightly darker as it was applied thicker but the finish and quality is superb!

Toyo Proxes. They're my second set and last about 14k miles if rotated every 6k. I run 40psi front and 35 rear. Highly recommended

Cheers Ian, reason I asked was found this info posted on another thread on RB5's...

The superbly engineered Recaro ëSportí front seats offer unrivalled location during spirited driving, yet are one of only a
handful of seat designs worlwide to be awarded prestigious approval by the Federation of German Spinal Health Institutes
and the Association for Healthier Backs - Better Living.
Featuring pronounced shoulder support and backrest side bolsters, steplessly adjustable recline, airmatic lumbar support,
electrical seat height and tilt adjustment (with a greater range than the OE seat) and an extendable seat cushion, these
seats will leave any driver feeling refreshed after a long journey.
Assume this was a Recaro upgrade then?
