Well, the time finaly came to change my car. had my impreza for 8 years now, started off near standard and i took it as far as everything but the rods pistons and engine being chaged.

how i got it, kei 8 wheels, tints, graphics, prodrive interior and decat and that wa about it as far as mods went.





went through cvarious mods, ppg gearbox, vf34, autronics, defi's, suspension etc etc



so sat came and i dropped it off for the last ever time



gonna seriously miss it, but have to console myself with this,



ok not a great pic, but 06 wrx hawkeye

just waiting for new engine to go in,



forged 2.5, perrin intake, sti inlet manifold, sti top mount and sc46. Due to pick it up week sat, then 1000 miles running in then back for oil change and mapping and hopefully 400-450bhp

New one looks good, but you'll not beat those recaro's

Tidgy

lol, yeah i know, gonna miss them, they are realy nice seats. not overly keen on teh interior on the new one, its that grey/black combo, but can soon sort that out hahahaha

Illest

sc46 should see 500bhp with 20% meth

Tidgy

not going meth, also gonna be still running sti top mount so will be limited by that. more mods to come later lol

Did you do a part ex deal with sc by any chance? Just curious, might be something I'd be interested in doing in the future.

Tidgy

yes matey, best bet is have a chat with kev, in his own words, always a deal to be had lol

Tidgy

Any modifications to the brakes & gear box planned?

Tidgy

brakes, duck yes lol

gearbox, jurry is out on that one, know of a few wrx's running 450 and going ok on the standrd box. so suck it and see. its gonna have a few months easy life anyway while i run it in lol

If it goes it goes, did on my old classic so got a ppg lol

Fair enough on the box, no need to replace it until it goes I suppose. For what it's worth, I preferred my 5 speed in the WRX to the 6 in the STI, maybe i'm just a lazy driver but I seemed to get on with it better.

Tidgy

you and me both mate, i drive my dads car pretty often (bug sti with 6 speed) and don't like the ratios. might go ppg again if worst happens, go back to the wine
