Get a tilt kit fitted to the I/C .... have a look at http://www.rb5oc.co.uk/tiltkit.pdf (im assuming its a post MY96 car you have) .... PM me if you cant find the bits to do this.
Fit a I/C air splitter as well .... loads on eBay (do a search for "subaru intercooler splitter") .... this can be altered with spacers as well, to suit the higher scoop.
Last (and probably the hardest .... ive done it with mine) .... youve probably noticed the inside of the scoop isnt as aerodynamic as it could be .... huge lip at the rear. I got a sheet of metal from Homebase (cost about a tenner) and "made" an inner section for my scoop, giving a cleaner air flow into the I/C .... b*gger of a job but worth doing!!
Cant fault DR Motorsport!!
STi 8 scoop, P1 lip, 22B vents and P1 spot light covers!!

Unfortunately i don't like that at all. It gives myself and im sure also the general public an impression of the driver being some what of a "boy racer"... regardless of your driving skills.

These big scoops only seem two achieve two things:
1 Increase drag thus slowing you down
2 Create front end lift reducing grip
Its also nice to see people doing 130 on a public road and still have time to concentrate on what % their knock link is reading
Makes you glad you don't own an Impreza any more
