Haakon

Thanks! paintet the wheels myself. White looks good with the green i think.

Changed the spoiler back to the stock one today

That's lovely. Different colour and possible not the most popular. But i think its stunning. Great work there

looks really nice that does mate im not usually a fan of green but yours looks spot on

Haakon

Thanks! Wasn't sure about the color when i first got it, but after some polishing and shining, the color really popps in the sun, and i think it looks great. Also its not a color everyone else has.

Here in norway 98% of the gc8 turbos are blue.

Car is now in my workshop waiting for some new exhaust parts. Got the kakumei 3" DP and 2,5" up to the rear muffler.

Altso 4pot calippers in front and some whiteline parts in the rear.
Thinking about getting coilovers soon. Any suggestions??

I love my mica green gc8, doesn't draw any unwanted attention..

Is the car used on track? I'd consider a good strut/spring and geometry setup before going straight to coilovers for road use.. at least on u.k roads that is! Not sure what the roads are like over there..

Haakon

limited track use. Few trackdays a year. And also the roads are SH*** over here, so i was thinking i might be better of with adjustable STi dampers with the right lowering springs?
Some of the members in norwegian impreza club uses that setup on their cars.

i have Eibach lowering springs now. Think they are good, but would like to get the car a bit lower, just for the looks.

Some of the car specs:

Engine:
-Flissundet remap. 265bhp
-2,5" exhaust
-Kakumei downpipe, Highflow
-Walbro 255 fuel pump
-Wrx dumpwalve
-Guages: volt guage, turbopressure, oilpressjure, oiltemp.

:
-Eibach pro-kit lowering springs
-whiteline
- 17" sparco assetto gara (Yokohama Parada tires)

Body:
-white signals
-WRC replica spiler (Have changed it back to the stock one)
-STI foglight-covers
-STI taillights
-carbon interier details
-"STi" Mudflaps

Possibly look at KYB AGX adjustable shocks with your current springs? or KONI adjustable shocks with your current springs. they won't work out that cheap though think the KONIs are £147.00 a corner!

Or P1 struts if you can find them, second hand non adjustable STI struts are probably the most cost effective though.. with your current spring set. I had Tein s techs on mine at one point but it was overly low at the sacrifice of handling so i'd stick with the eibachs IMO.

I'm not 100% but i'd think your car would drop further with just the STI shocks and your current springs.

Oh and a roll centre adjustment kit possibly, and uprated front and rear arb's or just the rear? and a decent geo setup.

Haakon

Was thinking about the KYB AGX. Will have to do some research and possibly buy some this summer.



Here is a picture from the front. Think im going to get that bumper lip paintet. Looks bad in this picture, forgot to clean it before the photoshoot

Also found this picture i think is pretty cool! Stored away in a farmhouse waiting for better days, when it had engine issues!

Very nice mate,I hope you got some good wax on those white wheels.they do look good but I bet there a bugger to keep clean all the time.SJ.

Haakon

Jep they are very hard to keep clean, but i think its worth it. personally Cant think of a better wheel color on the car.

Haakon

Here is a picture of the car as it stands today.

Paintet front lip and stock spoiler:


Those are my winter wheels. Counting down the days now till i can put on my white sparcos

Haakon

Summer wheels and cosco coilovers are now in place! Didnt adjust the car to low though.
The suspension is very hard, and its a bit rough ride.

I will post pictures soon, got to take some first :P

Haakon

also found some rust when i was putting in the rear shock. So need to get that sorted this summer too

Haakon

Here is a picture: the car with summer wheels and cusco zero1 coilovers. They are very stiff.

Haven't lowered the car alot yet.

can't get photobucket to work so i can post pictures atm. will do soon.

Also i ordered a roof spoiler. Was thinking i should get rid of the whole rear spoiler to get the car as clean as possible. then lowering it all the way down. Think that would be a nice look for this summer.

So i was wondering is there a tiny lip/spoiler on the market for the boot on gc8? like a v-limited boot spoiler on the newer model impreza's?

thanks.

Here is a picture of a clean ol'car with the white sparcos and cusco zero1 coilovers.
