Default My Type R
After 3 months away from Subaru ownership with a very thirsty M5, I'm back

Version 5 Type R in Pure White










It's gonna be kind of a mini project, I've got some plans for her!! She has been well looked after and for a 13 year old car it's immaculate

I fitted some Scoobyworld mudflaps on the weekend so thats the first mod done along with the small Type R logo under the rear light. I'll keep this thread updated as I mod it

I'm changing th wheels first as they rub quite a bit, tyres are the wrong size for the R apparently! Got some Newage STi wheels coming, they should be on by the weekend

When funds (mrs) permit, an RA vent will be going in and some 22b vents, that should finish off the look

Handling wise, I'll get some whiteline goodies for it, it's already on lowering springs so no need fr coilovers as I think the ride is perfect

Engine needs a good de-gunge and spruce up! Gonna be on the lookout for Brembos too soon!

Does anyone know where to get a UK 5th gearset from?
