Exclamation SHE is here Finally! (Black STI 8 with 19's)

I Sold my last 320bhp scooby as i wanted something different...so i bought a M3 Evo...sold this 2 months later and bought a Porsche Boxster ....not for me...so sold this 1 month later and bought the STI 8

So this is my 3rd Scooby

Below are the pics of my new STI 8 in Black. The car was standard when i bought it afew weeks back with only 35K on the clock..

Since i have owned it, i have put on a set of 19" OZ Alloys, which i think look awsome...

My Prodrive Back Box will be here tonight and fitted tommrow as well as the TSL Panel Filter...


The car is actally very dirty at the moment as i was driving in the rain on the Motorway last night...however it does not show on the pictures...



Hope you all like it....

Not a fan of grey....had them on my last scooby...

Black again, not a fan off..too dark, silver is nice and bright and sticks out like a sore thumb....though i was thinking maybe gold...though not just yet..as i am saving up for some Toyo T1r's

AST's (coilover suspension from Powerstation) on my 53 plate sti Sam. 100 times better than the Prodrive springs I had on before and handles like its on rails. Another £1k plus though so probably something to add to your "want" list.

Just goes on eh? Looks nice though mate. Splitter next?

Springs or Coiliovers definitely needed there. lOOks like a Paris Dakar entry at the moment .

I agree, silver are better than gold. I've got silver wheels on mine, with plans to powder coat them, but they're actually growing on me. No doubt i will darken them up at a later date.

Good work, keep the mods coming. Front splitter next? Or have you decided on your stage 1 route?

AST's i think are way out of my budget, maybe one day...Am on the lookout for Prodrive springs...and a splitter though not really looked into this.

Using this Link as a guide to my tunning

However decided not to go for the tunning packages, and will be outsoursing the parts and get he car mapped...

Thanks for all the comments...good and bad...

I have just bought an Original STI Strut Brace for £51 should be here tommrow....

I ahve afew things on my list:
  • TEIN Springs (coilovers are way out of my budget)
  • Window Tints
  • Front Splitter
  • Toyo T1r tyres (though not cheap for 19" rims)
Also in terms of performance, just after the following:
  • Centre Section
  • Thundercar Downpipe
  • Fuel Pump
  • Remap (should see me 333bhp)

Looks great Sam, leggras are the best rim made IMO. Suit blobeyes to a tee and they are the best colour too, keep them that way!!!!!!

I can't seem to choose between the TEIN and PRODRIVE springs....as i think the Prodrives may not drop it much and the Tein springs will make the ride too rough..

I opted for Prodrives. They do lower it slightly, but i found, made the ride considerably firmer. So if the Teins are firmer, i'd opt for the Prodrives. I wouldn't like the ride much firmer than it is.
