ScoobyNet is back just in time for me to post up my new car. I bought it about 3 weeks and have to say it's my dream car - an STi 6. One of the last classic shape Imprezas. The car is pretty standard with only 33k miles on the clock. It has a straight through decat, green air filter, uprated fuel pump and has been re-mapped by Andy Forrest.

It came with all the paperwork since new. The 1st owner bought it as a brand new import for £28k ?!!?!

The only things I've done is to detango the front, respray the wedges matt black, replace the MAF, fit a DetAlarm and I also had the spoiler remounted as it hadn't been fitted correctly when the large one was replaced with the mid level one. I've not had it on a rolling road, but the car goes like stink and just pulls so strongly. Really happy with her. She sounds wonderful and I like the blacked out windows look on a grey car.

Hope you like it.

V nice M8. Always had a soft spot for STi 6's

 

Ay really nice that mate.

What have you got planned for it?

 

I'm going to leave it as it is I reckon. Don't have any desire to change the look - I even like the wheels. In terms of performance mods it has everything I would want.

 

Beauty!

 

Very very very X 10000 nice

 

This is what im thinking of doing mate, upgrading to one like this

Hope i find one that looks as good as this one

 

Beautiful mate

 

Looks spot on....notice the subtle version 4 spoiler.

Just get those front calipers cleaned.

 

Hey, they're brakes - not dinner plates

Must give the whole car a clean actually, it's one big fly swatter at the moment.

 

Very nice!

 

i like that alot, amazing colour. If i have to chop in my 03wrx prodrive cos of my new house i may get summit like this too

 

Nice.... actually prefer the Version 4/99-00 UK rear spoiler rather than the Version 6 item....


Cheers,
Grant

 

Ah, what you need for that is a private plate like this..
V1 (version 6) Roman numerals lol, for sale on here.

Well two years later and with 94,000 miles on the clock, the engine let go. Having driven 100 miles to work and within half a mile of the office I pulled off the M5 on to the roundabout and it was really rough with smoke puring out the back.

Needless to say, I had it recoved to API. The Turbo had failed and bits of the turbine had gone in to the engine, the MAF and lamda sensor had also failed and that may have contributed to problems. After a couple of weeks we agreed upon the rebuild

TD05-20g
550cc injectors
Ported headers
ARC intercooler (top mount)
Wiseco pistons
APi branded steel rods
Modified oil pump (the second one)
Race tri-metal crank bearings
New standard journal size crank
Plus reconditioned existing gearbox and new clutch plate to solve a 5th gear crunch

Should be good for around 380bhp. So, a few (ahem!) thousand pounds later I picked it up last Saturday and now running it in as we speak. And in a couple of weeks I get a 3" exhaust fitted and it gets mapped properly.

Will let you know how I get on. Here's to another 90k miles.

 

Looks spot on to me, very nice car. I agree nothing needs doing to it. I may have changed the wheels to something slightly larger, but that's just my personal preference. Enjoy

 

I did

 

Much better

 

LOL I have loads of pics of your car in that free pull-out Subaru Impreza Supplement guide that came free with Japanese Performance mag donkey years ago (suprised I still have it)

 

Antracite wheels defo suit it more than the gold rims
