I bought my 04 blobeye from them but made a boo boo. I saw a receipt showing that the car had the timing belt done at 42,000 miles and the car was on 60,000 so thought it was sweet. Got home and read the receipt properly and it was done in 2011 so i ended up taking it to a subaru specialist near me and got full service and cambelt done. Then two days after my month warrenty was up the top mount on the coilover started to seize, but the car was on cheap ebay coilvers so ended up purchasing some Teins. I didnt bother contacting them as thought there was no way they could have known the coilover would go. |

Blimey, this thread has certainly dropped down the pages! Thought I’d give it a bump
My new one - Attachment 73311 Attachment 73312 Attachment 73313 Picked last week from Pole Position UK, fresh import JDM STi standard apart from a Miltek exhaust, remap and a cheeky Genome Boost Gauge. Lovely motor and is honestly spotless! I am made up :D Plans? Gunmetal wheels, splitter and lower - and to enjoy her! |

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...989326330.jpeg Thought I would post up a pic of my Blobeye. It’s a 2005 Blobeye STI with the PPP fitted. Had it for just over a year. 52k miles. Mods are - 18’’ XXR 527’s, Tein Flex Z Coilovers (fitted around 500 miles ago), Angled Exit Cat Back Raptor Exhaust, K&N Panel Filter, front splitter, Blitz blow off valve, Perrin & Mishimoto Engine Dress Up parts and recently fitted Rally Tech engine Dress Up Kit. Its also had had some other work done. Belts, pulleys waterpump, front driveshafts were changed. Discs and pads are next up! Marc |

This is my Blob WRX, had it since August, absolutely love it, it is my daily and I have done around 4000 miles in her so far, now at 57k. Pretty stock bar the obvious exterior changes and a cat back. May retire it from daily duties soon as my current job role isn’t that conducive with a car that you really care about! Aaron |

This is my 2005 WRX Blobeye - 67K Mies.
ECU remap to around 270 BHP when I had the cam-belt service Swapped in leather interior from an SL The photos are from around winter 2018, since then I have..
next thingies to do, considering suspension kit and sway bars, private plate, put in the electrics so the heating works for the leather seats, , not looking to make it into a monster, I'm happy with the performance, handling has room for improvement, looking to just give it some classy subtle styling cues.. ideas welcome I've seen a few Blobeyes on this thread that look neat with the rear spoiler removed, any tips on how to seal the holes left behind or is that a boot replacement job ?

Some really nice Blobs in this thread, the best shape newage IMHO :D
I've owned mine for over 11 years now and driven over 100K miles in it (130K on the clock now), it's my daily driver which i get to do the occasional track event with. I entered my first event in 5 years this February and won it overall, so still not forgotten how to drive in my old age yet. Amazing piece of kit for something i use every day with aprox 480BHP and 500LbFt on tap, yet drives like stock when you want it to. Having fun in the wet at Silverstone this February on the GP circuit, just before the world went mental. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...cfc5292e5a.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b204f0dcc6.jpg |

Yes, I've run twice in this car at TOTB, three other times in previous Subaru's.

I remember it from when I did it, 2013 ish I think.
Good to see its getting driven hard still It gets driven daily (before CV19!) but hasn't had a proper run prior to Silverstone for 5 years as I've been concentrating on work plus helping Josef with his TA car. I bought the car with the original plan to keep it stock, but my competitive spirit got in the way of that idea.:cuckoo::top: |
