Thanks, they are millennium revolutions.
About the p1 splitter, I can understand but personally I hate the look of the standard classic bumper without the p1 splitter, or at least a decent splitter. Can't say I've seen one that I prefer to the p1 one though. Completely revamps the front end in my opinion, love it!

Sonic, not practical, got a family now, too expensive to run (although the scoob doesn't seem much better!) plus I owed some money on it and needed to get out of debt... Got some looks though and was an awesome drive !

The impreza is much faster than the 350z. Althought that was a 300bhp 3.5l, it was just so heavy, lovely drive but not as quick as you would think. The high revving turbo feel of the impreza is so much more raw and feels so much more powerful.

Yeah it's lowered on standard shocks, ride is fine, stiff but I'm used to stiff cars, nothing to ridiculous tbh not much more so than my mates standard newage wrx.

That's fine mate don't worry. My tyres are 215/40/17. I'd imagine you will still be okay with a 45 profile tyre as long as the offset of the wheels are fine, but a 40 profile tyre will be better. I don't get any arch rub at all.

Shame they aren't practical, or cheap to run. It cost me so much I ended up having it as a second car, then it become even more expensive with 2 cars to run 2 insurance policy's and the loan to pay off, which was hard to justify when i ended up going 2 weeks at a time without using it.

Was bloody nice to look at and bloody nice to drive though haha
