Default Cleaned the cars today

A mate of mine (scoobowner) has spent 4 days valeting my new 555 Impreza so I thought I'd better wash the M3 as well The M3 hadn't been washed for a few weeks so it was good to have them both cleaned up Because the sun was shining we took them for a run and took photos of them both together



















The drive back to my house was fun, me in the M3 and my mate in the 555

Should replace the rear plate on the Impreza, Paul.

UK spec rear plate looks cleaner, IMO.

I've got other bits to swap before I get to the plate The bracket behind the plate is bent so I'll have to sort it out.

Difficult question that one The M3 is very refined and has a wonderful stereo system (Harman Kardon), built in satnav etc but I find myself driving the Impreza quite a lot because it's very basic and raw.

At the moment because the Impreza is virtually standard I'd say the M3 is more fun for a blast but that'll soon change

Standard looking with maybe some 17" ST2's on there and lots more power

The plan is power fc mapped by Fiestaboy, 440cc injectors, ported headers, FMIC (painted black), version 3 or 4 heads & cams, Z32 MAF and a boost controller for now. Ultimately I'd like 350-400bhp I have a few of those bits ready to fit, I sold my FMIC and MAF though

It's already got under there I've wanted a 555 for many years and I love it and I don't plan on selling it and I already know what I want from it

Despite what you see on the M3 I don't do private plates lmao

Lovely cars bud. Your M3 looks mint. After driving my mates for sale on here I'd have one any day. Looks, grip, performance, and that sport mode. List goes on!

CSL rims really suit it!

Very nice mate... I feel guilty now, I've not had a proper session with the bucket & sponge for ages.

Wish I'd kept my 555 now; thinking back I'm sure it was the best car to drive that I've owned.

I loved your 555 and I was gutted that I wasn't in a position to buy it but I'm glad I've got one now You seemed to enjoy looking at mine today Shame it was in pieces

I have hardly ever used sport mode since I bought it, I've only switched it on once or twice I love the M3 but if I was to sell 1 car the M3 would be the first to go I think.

Yes all sorted now thanks. Just overhauled all the brakes, fitted braided lines, now on to fitting the roll cage
You seem to have more scoobs than a stealers?

Nice one, we fitted HEL brake lines to mine and I'd love a rollcage but I think it would be wrong to fit one to a 555

I only had 2 Subaru's until last week
