Hey everyone, been lurking for a while and figured I'd introduce myself. I'm Mitch, a California native currently living in Germany (since 2011), and I've got a bit of a problem when it comes to Subarus-- I can't stop putting money into them. This bugeye is my first Subie (I was a diehard Mitsubishi owner, I still have a Ralliart back home) and I've come to love the subaru family and community. I'm also a pretty avid shutterbug--combine the two, and I've got about 6 million photos of my car..

Speaking of, here's a few photos of the ol' girl (admittedly, this is my winter setup. Last year I ran 17x9 fifteen52 Tarmac's in white, this summer I'll be running 17x8 RPF01s): I've gone through a few different phases with what I want out of the car, but have ultimately settled on a rally-inspired look with track performance.

 

On to the mod list.. (Which will be edited as I get new things/remember what I've put on it..):

850cc DW injectors
Cobb SF intake with SRI
Crawford V2 air oil separator
Group N pitch stop

Kartboy short shifter
Perrin SSK shift **** (so it sits extra low)
Custom aluminum skid plate
Tein racing springs (stock struts)
V2 replica front lip
Hella horns
HKS SSQ BOV
STi top mount intercooler
Beatrush radiator shroud
Invidia downpipe
HKS hi power exhaust (soon to have the resonator cut out and straight piped)

Zeitronix digital gauge setup (AFR, lambda, EGT, boost)
Blitz dual turbo timer

great photos! I don't normally like that look, but hats off to you it works!

 

Thanks! Not everyone likes bugeyes, but it's certainly grown on me haha

 

Nice pics,the car looks Good.SJ.

 

different to most of the bugs I see, I like it!

Imprezas certainly are 'money pits', once you start..

 

Love the pics

 

Welcome nice looking car

 

Thanks guys. And thanks on the photo compliments, it's a pretty big passion of mine. Glad to hear it's appreciated (:

 

Looks great bud. Jealous of the fifteen52 wheels, can't get them over here unless imported for a small fortune!

 

Really? I figured with all the stances VWs they'd be everywhere around there. Just 3SDM then? Lol

If they weren't so heavy, and I wasn't focusing so much on track, I'd've kept them..

 

Yeah you can. Get in touch with Reflex Auto Design mate

 

I stand corrected, nice one bud. There for our hatch STI rather than the blobeye so I'll see what pcd they do them in.

 

They can do them in any 5stud pcd and any et between 0 & 50 so you should be able to get something that suits your needs

 

Nice pictures! Very nice car I like it!

Snooky

 

I do miss the look of them.
