Default Cleaned the Scoob, new pics. OI,56k...NO!!

Spent all day Saturday giving the Scoob it's first proper clean of the year..

Then it rained last night and looked like someone had chucked a bag of sand on it so did it again this morning

Just got the car back from API engines, long story but now has a new 2.5 lined block, wossner forged pistons, forged rods and race bearings. Currently running in so limited boost but very pleased with it, remap at the end of the month and should be good for an easy and safe 400+ bhp and torque..

Still haven't decided though if I'm gonna keep it, love the car but totally impractical / expensive for my daily commute..

Anyways - hope you enjoy !

Literally the only car that would tempt me to an immediate return to Subaru ownership. Love it Pete.

PS Hope the parcel came ok last week?

Beautiful car tastefully modified
Could you post some side pics? I am trying to decide whether to go for silver or anthracite wheels on my urban grey.
Where have you bought the black plastics and different ***** of the centre console? Or is the car a Spec C? I saw them somewhere in a US site I think but I don't want to have to pay tax when importing them. Are the black plastics more resistant to scratches? The OE silver ones scratch really easily. Also where is the lower grill from?

Haven't got anymore inside pics at the moment, will get some more soon..

The centre console is from the JDM spec c ltd, S203/S204 etc. It was imported from japanparts.com, not too expensive but you do get stung on shipping, taxes etc etc. The black is actually a soft touch rubber feel so if anything more prone to scratches and marks tbh..

The lower grill is a little known genuine Subaru part available through the main dealers
