65 WRX STi
Hi all,
A bit late to the show. I’m a car enthusiast based in South Wales with a passion for Subaru's. The passion stemmed from watching Colin Mcrae through the Welsh forestry stages as a kid. I have owned this low milage example now since 2nd April 2022. It was bought from Dorset Sportscars at 29k miles with great spec, I knew this was the perfect foundation for my ultimate fast road subaru build. Being a big Subaru enthusiast, I know this car would be the perfect car to compliment my subaru collection sitting next to my sonic blue Type R. Owning these cars has been a life long dream, owning the first shape impreza to what arguably could be the last of it’s kind. The car was bought with the following mods: - HT autos splitter kit - Milltek Resonated catback - Milltek Sports cat - Tein lowering springs - Team dynamics wheels - ECUTEK I have big plans for this car, I want to build the car I think subaru should have built out the factory and to enjoy every minute of it. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...c31a2bcb1.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...8fcc98083.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...5944796c8.jpeg |
Photos of the cars together the following weekend up the black mountains, one of the best driving roads in Wales👌🏻

Around 16/07 I decided I wanted more from the exhaust. The milltek was too tame for my liking and wanted a bit more grunt. We went with the AWE track exhaust supplied by Neil at VIP motorsport. What a difference, giving that group A rally vibes😎 Slipped on my private plate and a few debadges here and there and the rear end was looking cleaner than ever.

Next on the list was new wheels and rubber. Wanting to retain some rally heritage I decided to go with speedline turini’s wrapped in goodyear eagle f1’s. Sitting a lot wider and being lighter than the team dynamics, I feel this was a massive difference to the aesthetics of the car as well as drivability with the stickier rubber.

We then moved on to the engine. I decided to stick with the 2.5 and get it forged rather than go down the 2.35 route as it will be used mainly as a road car and to retain some originality. Going for a solid 500bhp build, the spec will be as follows:
Block bored and skimmed Cdb conversion Acl race bearings H beam rods Wiseco pistons 11mm oil pump New oil pickup tube 14mm headstud conversion RCM/Cosworth headgaskets RCM TGV delete EGR delete PCV delete Secondary air pump delete Fuelab FPR Perrin AOS GSC titanium valve springs and retainers Ported engine heads Competition stage 3 clutch new OEM flywheel Heads fully rebuilt and skimmed All new subaru seals and gaskets as required Below to be phase 2 of the build April 2023: 1000cc injectors Precision 5530 turbo Process west front mount RCM UEL headers (Can’t part with the rumble!) Harvery trick up pipe RCM catless downpipe https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...584e551a3.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...a88210529.jpeg |
