Default Finally got a Sti!

After 6 months of Looking for a Sti and wondering if i should buy one or not, I eventually pulled my finger out and bought one on Sat night. I thought insurance would be a big issue as am only 21, but can't complain with £1180 Fully comp. It's A Sti Type UK and has the Prodrive package.

It also has a Blitz Nur Spec Full exhaust system with one Prodrive Cat left, Induction kit, Turbo XS Dump valve, Eibach Lowering Springs, Prodrive short Shift, Xenon Headlight Conversion, Detangoed lights, Front Fogs, Privacy Glass, Sti Mudflaps, Genesis Speakers all round, Pioneer Ipod head unit and Speedline Turini's with Toyo Proxes T1R's.

Away to order Coilovers in the next couple of weeks if anyone has any recommendations of which ones are good?

Who are you insured with, that's not a bad quote with all your mods, take it they're all declared etc?

Thanks Guy's, Am insured thru Elephant all ligit and above board. The foggers were actually a optional extra when the car was first purchased from Subaru. I quite fancied getting Sti Fog Covers but the foggers are growing on me. Any other Scoob owners from Aberdeen?

Just a suggestion here.... but did you get the standard dump valve with it???

If so put it back on and see what happens Apart from losing the obvious noise i suspect you will be pleasantly surprised.

Won't be through to Aberdeen tonight (Wed) as I'm working, should be through next Wednesday.
I've had my Subaru for over 2 years now, love every minute of it except for when it doesn't start when left for a while.

I'd be interested to see how the xenon headlight upgrade looks, I'll send you a PM when I'm through to Aberdeen.

Stephen.

That would be kool, The Xenon's look really good. They were from Checkpoint, quite expensive but well worth it.

Your a Lucky man bbigman, I really wanted a Wr1 But was over my price range, Happy enough with the sti ppp just now tho.

You from Aberdeen Raduv? Sweet car you have there too, The Ppf wheels finish the sti off.
