My "new" toy - STi4
I learnt to drive late (about 24) and since have always had the sensible car - the tow car / fit everything in the world in the back car. Now we have a double cab pick-up, I finally get a fun car...
380bhp STi4 and I *love* it. About time I got to have fun - 'girls just wanna' after all.
Obviously I have the power (don't really need anymore to be honest) so I am going to concentrate on making it look better. First off sort out the STi stickers which have missing letters
Then going to improve the engine bay - needs the manifold repainting for a start and the cover over the top of the pulleys and starter (don't know what it is called?) needs renewing. But also thinking of a nice new slam panel, maybe battery cover (although I dont want anything chrome). Anyone know where you get the carbon slam panels? Other possible extras include a catch can (needs one anyway) and will probably slowly replace all the vac hose and samco to the same colour.
Anyway, here are some pics after a recent valet from Pro-Valeting (view my scooby for tech specs). I could really get in to taking photos of my car!
Detail:

Anyone know of these are still available somewhere? Will PM the guy that started the groupbuy back in 2004

Very very nice. Looks like a lot of work has gone into that!
You like standing close to it when taking pictures though. Give yourself and bit of distance and get some more up
Always wanted one in black... I'm jealous!

Nice looking car. I owned a STi V a few years back & still have fond memories of it:
