My Impreza STI Blob Project

Howdy,

Registered on here recently and thought I would post up my on going project. My Scoob is my toy and I only use it in the summer for going to club meets at Knockhill etc. So its an ongoing modifying project that started this year and doesnt seem to have an end

My original plan was to fit a WRC kit until I discovered the cheap kits where cheap for a reason. To get a good kit would cost serious money. So that idea was ditched pretty quickly.

Some of my Plans

1. Remove and sell front bumper - COMPLETE
2. Remove and sell rear spoiler - COMPLETE
3. Remove, refurbish, paint gloss black and add a red pinstripe to all 4 alloys from TWS, Glasgow - COMPLETE
4. Send calipers to Ben and Ian at Godspeed Brakes for a complete refurb. Painting black with red Brembo logo . Also renewing all bolts, pins, bleed nipples, bleed nipple covers, seals and plates - COMPLETE
5. Renew rear discs and pads with Brembo drilled discs and pads - COMPLETE
6. Purchase new carbon centre caps for all4 alloys - COMPLETE
7. New black wheel studs - COMPLETE
8. De-tango and paint black both headlights - COMPLETE
9. New Carbon rear spoiler - COMPLETE
10. Remap with Launch Control from Alistair at Trackhound -
11. 20mm spacers added to all four wheels - COMPLETE
12. New floor mats - COMPLETE
13. K&N Panel Filter - COMPLETE
14. Walbro Fuel Pump - COMPLETE
15. Smoked side repeaters - COMPLETE
16. Complete service. New oils etc. - COMPLETE
17. New WRC Front Bumper fitted - COMPLETE
18. New tyres fitted - COMPLETE
19. New Tein Springs fitted all round and shocks refurbed- COMPLETE
20. Engine clean - COMPLETE
21. New WRC style carbon bonnet - COMPLETE

Compaines I have used

http://www.scoobyparts.com - Great source of parts at good prices. And always very helpfull. Highly recommended

http://www.importcarparts.co.uk - Also really good and very quick delivery

http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk - Highly recommended for brake refurbs. The made an awesome job of my calipers as you will see.

Carbon Bonnet - John at www.demonmotorsport.com - great quality bonnet and worth spending that bit extra. Also a great fit and an awesome looking bonnet.:)

Ebay - Not a fan of cheap ebay buys but good for the odd things that you cannot get anywere else. Like the carbon spoiler I bought.

TWS Glasgow www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk - Not bad I wouldnt recommend using them as I had hassle with the quality of my wheels. Got it sorted in the end but not worth the hassle

looks really good, i like the front bumper a lot

Cheers :thumb:

Hopefully get her out more next summer.

I like the original bumper better but apart from that looks great well done brakes are the same as mine only I done mine with gold decals to go with my wheels top car

Looks great. Love the lights and black wheels. Glad I spotted this because same wheels as I have and I have been thinking of going black, and now I am, soon as the money side let's me.

Very nice mate, looks very stealth.

What an awesome looking motor :notworthy

Carbon looks great :D

Personally, I'm not a big fan of pinstripes on wheels but each to their own!

Welcome to the forum and keep up the good work :thumb:

looking great is the front wrc bumper from htautos?

Cheers for the comments.

Im not so keen on the wheels now. Would rather all black or anthracite.

Yeah its an HTAutos bumper. I wasnt sure at first buts its growing on me. It does need a splitter but they dont make one and I aint doing a home made job. I removed the badge centre badge holder on the bumper as it was way too big.

What did you use for your engine bay clean please?

Really like that, top work fella!

Love this thread :)

Updates?

Just sold it to a guy in Guildford.

He said he was going to join the forum so he may post updates.
