Not to bad for a impreza sport :)
I brought my impreza around may 2006, this was my second impreza that i owned (R.I.P 1st impreza)
I brought it from a member off scoobynet, and it has been in the UK from new. here are a couple of pics of what it looked like when i go it, it was all most standard at around 49k miles. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...untitled-2.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/DaOne20vt/gfgk.jpg It was not long before the modding but started biting!! Ist off was a andyforrest td05/06 20g and a set of 550cc injectors, autobahn88 fmic and a apexi induction kit with a custom heat sheild, aeromotive fpr and a custom oil catch can. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92.../newscoob5.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92.../untitled2.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/DaOne20vt/bt7.jpg The ecu that i went for was a apexi power fc, and apexi avcr and to keep a eye on the engine a knock link and defi gauges. I put the knock like in the vent near the window as i didnt like the look of the black box. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...4082006269.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...20vt/defi1.jpg next on the list i had a blitz nur spec exhaust, and my clutch started to slip, so went for a ap racing clutch with a act pro light billet flywheel that is around 4.5kg. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...Picture135.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...Picture147.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...vt/d11d_12.jpg next up on the stopping side of things was a set of godspeed 335mm big brake kit http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/IMG_0023.jpg this is how my car was looking by that point http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/IMG_0018.jpg a year or so later i chose to use the aps cold air induction kit, and i changed the fmic pipe to fit. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...Picture217.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...Picture222.jpg By now the blitz nur spec was getting abit to loud for me, so i brought a new exhaust system. this was a 3" decat down pipe, gt-spec headers and a full titanium system. the centre section and back box weighted just over 4kg!! http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...vt/6b2f_12.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0080.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...Picture296.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...cture276-1.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...Picture299.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...0abfa6f5_o.jpg on the styling side of things, i had to take the front tints off and i brought some new alloys, as i fanced a change over the grey ones. I got some Works emotions :) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...722ca942_o.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...3b8cb0d2_o.jpg this is how my scoob is looking now http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...19eeb066_o.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...dc6fe378_o.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...bb2f7557_o.jpg then i had a spoilerless moment, and i quite liked it http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0676.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0674.jpg At the start of this year, is where it all started to go wrong :( on new years eve, some w**ker thought it would look better with some racing lines on my car, then a week later i had a v small bump at a junction :( my car was in a right mess, gone from a mag feature car (Japanese performance dec 2008) to a keyed up mess. the startof this year was a vvv low point for me, and i just felt like chucking the towl in for good. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/IMG_0122.jpg over the next month or 2 at the start of 2009, things started to look up. once i knew it was going to be repaired i started to buy a couple of bits and bobs. 1st off was a bmw rear boot spoiler, as i wanted a more stealth look to the car, I had been running spoiler less for a few months before this with tape to cover up the holes. I managed to find a boot lid with no holes in from new http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...00808_2058.jpg I also got some apex inverted coilovers with 5/4 springs on as one of the things that i didnt like was the tractor look http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0031.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0034.jpg next on the spending spree was a dual sensor charge temp sensor http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0037.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0128.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0130.jpg the next thing on the list was a carbon bonnet, i know they dont really save any weight, but they look soooooo cool. I went for the seibon one. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...n_cw_wrx04.jpg I went for a new fmic as my autobahn pipe work was bent up, I went for the hybird version, and when they are side by side, the hybird look sooo much better made. from what i have been told the standard filter on the aps caik was getting on its limits at around 350 bhp, and i was aver that by now, so i got a larget filter, and had some custom pipe work done so it would fit http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...vt/RU-3620.jpg I got my car back from the body shop and it looked better than new!! I have only really driven my car on the road for a couple of weeks now, as i book her in for a map tweek to make sure everything was running ok, asi had changed a couple of bits, and after that, my bottom end started to knock :( this is how it looks like now http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0144.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0118.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0120.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0121.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0122.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0123.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0124.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0126.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0132.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0136.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0143.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0131.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0128.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0134.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...t/PICT0135.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...PICT0133-1.jpg So this year I have spent a wad full of money on her, and have only driven her for a couple of weeks, and as soon as i found out the bottom end was on its way out, i parked her up in the garage for a few more weeks. My car is in the hands of EngineTuner as we speak, for a forged 2.1 spriker build, and when i get her back ill give her a good clean, and take some good pics there is a lot that i have prob missed out along the way, with bits that i have brought etc, but i feel it gives a good idea of the progress of my scoob over the last few years. |
awesome as ever!!
must be looking forward to gettin it back!! if you don't mind saying; where did you get your bonnet and for how much, lusting after one of those for ages................. |
Very nice. Like the charge temp display. Fits nice. Where do you have the sensors?
|
Nice touch with the knock link mate;) Hope your luck changes soon:thumb:
|
i love this car
|
Hope your treating that engine to a nice big turbo Ian ?
|
beef-on-the-bone, i got the bonnet from amber performance, the quality of the carbon, is very good
http://www.amber-performance.co.uk/products.php?i=2035 joey_turbo, i have got one sensor in the charge pipe, just before the TB, and the other im using as a air temp next to the filter at the mo. Mad Hammer, am still going to use my 20g, it has taken alot of saving up/spending to get it this far. on the map tweek i got after it came out of the body shop, i got... (done on a dastek) 1st run 379.7 bhp 346.7 lbft 2nd run 382.7 bhp 344.6 lbft this was with 10% meth. if i get the same results with the new engine on just v-power, i think ill be happy........ for now lol the gearbox is the next weak link :( |
Looking good mate :cool:
Look forward to seeing the results after the 2.1.... thinking of going the same route myself :) James |
Anger, but you have a forged engine all ready havent you?
|
any gusses on what power and lbft i might get?

wasn't sure on the bonnet at first but now the sides are painted it looks great and wow theres been alot done :notworthy
|
It's been a pleasure to work on, nice tidy car and very sensible specification.
|
How does it drive off boost, any noticeable difference between the old 2.0 setup?
|
it feel smoother and easyer to drive from what i can tell, but the driving now is just crusing around.
trying to get use to the different noises the engine makes now, i think it isw the injectors or something like that |
Looks good Ian, bet you cant wait to run it in.:thumb:
