Default A few pics of my subaru

A few pics of my spec c ltd .
(not the best pics in the world, bit of a crappy camera.)









Performance mods - GGR 3 inch exhaust system, GGR induction kit and remapped . Running approx 360 bhp. 1/4 mile - 12.47 seconds.

Exterior wise its still standard or what I like to call the "just a wrx" look .







Really enjoying the car , best handling car Ive driven. Love the twinscroll turbo with little lag, totally different to any other subaru I have driven. Stick it in 5th gear - 30 mph ,hit the throttle and starts spooling and you're off!
Love the dccd - I did think this was a bit of a gimmick before I used it properly, nice to get rid of the subaru understeer and really helps on turning into bends alot tighter and quicker.
Might do a few cosmetic tweeks soon but the long term plan is a new turbo (and supporting mods) so it can join the 400 + bhp club.

Nice car. I think anthracite coloured wheels would look good. Steve.

Thanks for the comments guys.

To answer a few questions.

They didnt make a standard sti in red, but they did make a few spec c ltds in red along with blue and white.

I might paint the current wheels black at some point. I do have some 18 inch kei alloys I might put on it but need powdercoating.

Flaps - I dont use it daily , maybe a couple of times a week. I think if I had to do a commute I would want something which had softer seats and uses less fuel.
The ride isnt that harsh, infact compared to teins the suspension is slightly softer.
Quite a bit of road noise from the tyres as there is no sound deadening but the exhaust is fairly quiet so its not too bad if you had to go on a long journey.
It is used as a toy only so Ive had poor fuel economy from it, dont think Ive had more than 150 miles to a tank, but the tank is smaller ( 40 litre tank I think) than the standard sti.

Very nice, not often you see red ones

I would go for different colour wheels though personally, anthracite, or white if you're feeling really bold

Did it have black mud flaps on it by any chance??
I think I saw one on pistonheads from your neck of the woods a while back.
