Is the power difference really noticeable, if so is it just better throttle response or can you notice the power difference in the pick up?
Yours truly naive UK model owner!!

Cool

Nice! Is that an STi3/4 with the STi5 front end? The reason I ask is that I am currently running an STi 3 (yellow) and have just got all the bits to modernise the front end, im even more keen to get the job done now!

Robert,

Nice car.

The first photo of the silver car - is that in Banbury by any chance ? I remember when I took my car to ProDrive I stayed in a hotel in Banbury that looked like that!

Rob,

If I was to tempt you with a very, very,very large bar of chocolate would you do a playground swap??

Folks.. it's a lovely motor I gotta say.

The reason my cars so clean is I'm hoping if I wash & wax it enough maybe that rubbing will have the Genie & Lamp effect and I end up with what you got Rob.

Gotta work this week though so the rest of the engine polish will have to wait until next weekend.

Hi there,

That's a very, very nice car you got there.
I'm wondering what kind of wheels you got there.
Enjoy the car

thanks for the kind remarks guys,dogdogman the front bumper you want to fit will definatly go on your STI 3 as i fitted one to my other car which was a MY 96 and it fits a dream the only little bit of modding required was the lip that secures the end brackets had to cut a tad to allow the bracket to slip over the lip all will seem apparent if you do the mod only takes 10 minutes and a pair of tin snips to cut the plastic lip copy the original bumper on the inside,
DazV no its actually Durham Cathedral grounds similar sort of thing though.
Mahoney the wheels are Oz super turismo's in 17 inch i like them alot
