Happy Newbie With a V1 STi ;)
Hi guys and girls,
Just thought I would introduce myself, Im Jamie and Im from Cornwall and this is my v1 Classic. Very much looking forward to picking everyone's brains as I gradually make her better

Well so far its had, FMIC, 4Pots, HKS Filter, De-Cat, Coilovers, and Full service.
I'm probably going to go down the fuel pump, sports CAT for MOTs, injectors, simtek remap. And then see what I can get out of her

I think it must of been, the fmic, filter and de-cat were done before I had it, and its been checked over a specialist since then. Obviously when fuel pump, injectors and ecu are changed it will all be done again.

Nice, but are you sure it's an STI?
If its a v1, there should be a numbered plaque on the driver side suspension turret? v2 onwards didn't have it.
Seats should be grey with STI embossed on them?
Red stitches in the steering wheel and gear ****...
Sorry to sound negative, but so many WRXs about with just a few STI bits - such as the badges on the wings and pink front badge that yours has.
Reason I ask is that I can't see a "tuned by STI" badge in front of the ps pump?

Also it does have the seats with STi embossed, probably hard to see in the pics?
So I'm 70% sure it is a genuine STi lol

Just FMIC, De-cat, Coilovers, HKS filter and 4Pots, as far as I'm aware.
More to come hopefully

Looks nice, but I would bin the HKS Filter, Well known for being the worst filter on the market and for killing maf's. Go for a K&N style one.
One of the local lads got through 5 mafs in one weekend at the pod.
It was a good job a few of us carried spares!!!!
