Dark Blue Mark's white STi V5!
Well, its scoob number 5 and is the top one so far (close to my blue MY99 UK one) Taken a while to get the pics up as ive been busy doing minor mods to it. Came with no stereo so had to do the wiring and get the monting plates from Japan 
Then had to get the fog covers as it came with fogs. Got genuine ones from a Subaru dealer the States at half he price. 
Then the slightly more tricky bit was the gauge install. The boost is electrical so needs the sender installing, so a bit more though provoking... AFR was easy as ive done quite a few now
Ive always wanted a white STi5, so I feel I have arrived! Its mint and has 35k on the clock - so thanks to Sam for selling me a top car.
Anyway, here it is, and I know I need 17's....!
Posing in the forest...
More forest shots
Had to get one with me in
Nice rear... HKS full system and manifold except H&S downpipe
Gauges part installed and Knockling mounting inspired by Harvey
They're Autometer Cobalt series, boost and AFR. Im waiting for an Oil temp one as they have only just brought it out. These things aren't cheap! £170 for the boost so I got it from the States for about £100 after tax etc. AFR was £65 from Real Steel. Pod is from ETS racing...
And by night is where the magic happens (not great pics)

Very nice Mark, just need some wheels. 
There should be a lorry load of ex WR1 wheels floating around, I saw a post somewhere a few months back saying some dealers were selling them on cheapish.
I can't believe Ron managed to alter that pic on his own, looks like the work of Karen to me...

Cheers Shane
Rumours might start if you associate them 2
Didn't think the new shape wheels fit a classic? Will have a look though.
After either some Anthricite PD7's or P1 wheels...

Thanks for all the kind comments
I like the car plain and not really into stickers (although nice job on the Gold Subaru one!), prefer the beauty sat under the bonnet Glad you sold the WRX in the end, Monster
Agreed the P1 wheels look better, ta for the pics, might have my eye on some...
White looks good too with red flaps

Sam The car then!
Thanks Mark
Tim, I think that happened a while ago, but missed any cars! Bloody Germans...
Hi Andy, your old car is being well looked after by a Bmth local. He just potters around in it. The anniversasy golf is a damn nice looking beast, and AMD can get it to over 200 bhp for not a lot of money
Im just about to help sell my parent's MK3 anniversary golf GTi....
