Puff,

The car now has the Prodrive Suspension kit, but I'm only missing bigger brakes now!!!

Martin,

I love the lamps, but it takes a few weeks to get use to the additional lights up front!!!!

I remember the state of your boot!!! The *******s should be shot!!

Ding-dong! Excellent choice of tasteful mods! Those big brakes would finish it nicely Tried to call Godspeed today to ask about the 308mm disks but am sure he said there is a kit available for the Impreza. I'll call him again tomorrow.

Try Cheam Motors, cost about £150 and they can colour code for an additional cost. Speak to Jim Childs on 020 8394 2263

Jacko,

The pipe cost about £43, but you have to add duty and VAT to that, as it was shipped from OZ (about £60 all in). Took less than a week to turn up! Just remove the resonator, as per the other posts, and the pipe seems to fit in. Cable tie it in place where you can. Once the pipe is in place, and the inner wheel liner is back on, it won't move. My dealer fitted it while the car was being repaired, and it took them about half an hour. Apparently it was very straight forward, as I described above.

PPP, fair enough. I'll get the boost, fuelling, etc checked out on a rolling road! I'm thinking about running with a HKS EVC IV as well, which will control the overboost.

Andy S,

If you have a look at my last post in this forum, you'll see all the grief I've had about the blue badge!!

But in brief, everyone has a black badge, silver wouldn't work with the silver stars, my sister told me the pink badge was girly, didn't think red would go, I had a green one on my old green car and I had some blue paint left in the garage!!! So blue it was It was just a traty thing!!!

Mutant Mat,

I actually took off my old ScoobySport driving lamps. With the Morettes, there was excellent lighting, both dipped and main. Enough lighting on main beam, to justify replacing the driving lamps.

A few days after fitting the Morettes I got stuck in fog, and realised that there was one type of lamp missing!!!

I also wanted to clean up the front of the car, so I'm looking for some STI fog lamp covers (and they wouldn't fit over the driving lamps)

Cheers
Andy

Lovely ricemobile mate. Blue badge, what is it with that?


And those morettes...gives it a kinda hideous Cossie look.

Just kidding, nice to see the car all shiny and lovely again.

Maybe the 'bi-plane' spoiler (a la early Cosworth Escort) will be next!!!

You've seen the guy that made his Cosworth look like a Scooby, so maybe this will be the first Scooby looking a Cosworth!!!!

No, I wanted something to break up the big moving silver fridge look!!!!

That's why I've got the bump strips in black as well!!!
