Here are some pictures of my girl. I've had her for about a month now.







Sorry for the amount pictures guys. The last pic is my quick attempt at making a CAI. I removed all the intake tubing up to the elbow. I also removed the plate that covers the scoop in the hood. I attached wire mesh (essentially gutterguard) to the opening of the elbow so nothing too terribly big would enter the airbox. I have noticed major top-end improvements in both 3rd and 4th gear. You UK guys are luck though. You get turbos with intercoolers

Yup, over here they aren't turboed (except for the 2002 WRX). I suppose the hood scoop is there just for decoration. If you look on the underside of the hood, there is a metal plate fastened to the underside of the scoop. I took that plate off, so now my scoop is opened up.

I've fitted a Garret t3/t4e turbo and top mount spearco intercooler to mine so the scoop is functional
