sti scoops are canny big like, the paints come off a tiny bit around where original vent goes with it being aluminium, so al have get bonnet painted if a put that vent back on, might look into after new year then.......hard cars to sell so guess am keeping it

The wheels are genuine sti split rim light weight alloys 0.505kg
am guessing there very rare

Standardish on the outside is the way forward!!

Front mount intercooler and a few other tweaks and bits and bobs and it will be great when mapped. Be careful about doing too much as they don`t like it, unless they are mapped.
But nice and clean looker though!!

Well Z4 is a WRX Import ECU, came standard in mine, along with a TD05.
Baileys are known to cause issues with Scoobys, and a FMIC won`t be as bad as you`d imagine with lag, esp on a TD05.

Well your in the right place for some advise and recommendations.
Thing is with these cars people say thing when they don`t know jack about them, and will tell you "Ah it`ll be fine" then the engine goes pop, and then they say its everything else.

As for the dump valve, they prefer the standard recirc valve, and also prefer the standard airbox unless it has a cold feed and a heat shield.

New age scoops on classics look wrong. Other than that looks nice.

At a guess, because you only have 1 vacuum outlet.
