Nathan looking good. I've had the Morrettes on mine since I bought the car - sooooo much better (even better with HID )

When you get the FO Big Spoiler, decat exhaust, Eibachs and 18" wheels it will look like this:



I'm looking at brake upgrade options and another visit to Scoobysport to remove the pesky turbo up pipes It never ends.....

Cheers
Chris

Nice - but whats with the side protectors (why not colour coded?) Are the morrettes with HID option?

Alloys look fine - better spent on brakes, susp or zost. IMHO

Lol at Trouser, probably best I didn't fit the DBM ones.

Thanks for the positive comments. People tend to move out the way much quicker when coming up behind them now. They haven't got HID because I simply couldn't stretch that far with the money. They were set up properly and have Vision Plus bulbs and they are far better than the standard lights IMHO.

The side protectors aren't colour coded because I heard that the paint peeled off due to the compound. Sports grille standard Subaru jobbie, fitted when new £170.00 IIRC

Still got loads I want to do.

18's, Big FO spoiler, Eibachs, PPP(sitting in my garage) Decats. AP brakes etc etc.

Checks wallet finds no money collects coat and leaves building

Any donations greatfully recieved

I do really like your car. Is that the Rallytech spoiler as that is the one I'm looking to get(with the carbon top).

PPP and full decat at Scoobysport is next oh and a VTA DV to help with blue flames

Looking at getting these Defi gauges from Scoobymania as well.

I've been bitten by the modding bug now

Nathan..

Boultsy yep got a good deal

I thought your MY01 was a belgian/dutch import? I know there was a guy on Scoobynet a while ago selling a PPP.I assume you bought that then did you? What about the standard warranty now you're gonna fit PPP? I thought fittin PPP to an import voided the warranty?????

Cheers,

Nick..

Nathan - yep mine is the RallyTech spoiler - Cheam Motors fit this one on their San Remo special edition MY01 and I believe it also supplied by Graham Goode (or you can go direct to RallyTech)

The moding bug bites Need to sort out some uprated pads and discs now - also thinking abut some gauges as well. Defi hmmmmm.

Looking at the various headlamp options for the MY01 and indeed the latest STI7 model, does anyone know if you can get the same light setup as on the WRC car (see pic):



Cheers,

Jon,
DR Motorsport do a very similar item but obviously has to have the indicators built in.Have a look at http://www.drmotorsport.co.uk/MY01-headlamp.jpg

That should help you

The PPP is sitting in my garage waiting until the 1 year warranty is up before being fitted. The 2-3 year Belgian bit was going to go out the window anyway with a full decat exhaust and other bits.

I've never been very good with leaving cars alone so I'll put up with losing the warranty.

Subaru Belgium are going to supply and fit PPP kits soon apparently so you don't lose your warranty.


Chris

Which brakes are you going for as they are on my to do list.

Cheers

I like the DR motorsport items, though I wonder if it's possible to build the indicators into the bumper (as in the WRC car) ? Leaving you with that cool vent above the two headlights :-)




Cheers for the link ...

I started a thread in 'Wheels Tyres & Brakes' here. Some interesting replies - still not sure, but it gives you an idea.

Bearing in mind that the new supercharged Holden HSV (500+bhp 450 lbs/ft) and the size of a Vauxhaul Omega comes with 4 pot calipers (on admitedly big disks), I can't help thinking that some of the brake options available are a little OTT Depends on what you want I suppose.
