Default My new RB5
Well, after selling my sport about 3 weeks ago, I picked up my new little runaround a couple of weeks back

RB5 WR Sport with the PPP, #320 of 444.

Only mod so far is a straight through centre pipe which is now fitted, and a JR Performance panel on the way.

Removed the Blitz dump valve today and put the standard recirc back on.

Also needs a bloody good deep clean too as I'm sure you will see!

Anyway, enough chat - pics!





















Not had time to take any decent pics since these (day I picked her up!)

Been far too busy driving

Yeah she'll be kept looking pretty much standard!

A de-tango and STi rears are all that's on the cards aesthetically..

Nice.

It does look very nice as standard. Glad you have taken the d/v off as they arn't good on these cars.

Have you been on the RB5 owners club?

It's awesome that you've got number 320, it's like the two RB edition Impreza numbers in one. RB5 and RB320 lol. Or is it just me on that one?!

Looks brilliant! The only thing i would have said would be a set of STI rear lights would really set it off, but you have already said they are on the way.
Spot on

Absolutely stunning mate, I have always liked the RB5s

I can see it says you live in Warwick but the car looks like it is parked outside a new housing estate in Nuneaton that I went to look at !!

That looks a lot better. I bet the language was colourful at the time of removing those letters.

Wasn't too bad actually Darren mate!

Been worse on previous cars, the RB didn't kick up much of a fuss

The RB5 is looking good

Getting rid of the Subaru letters looks better imo
