blob eye STI project
Ok I am going to start my project build thread.
I bought a couple of months ago another impreza its a 2003 sti
here is how it looked when I bought it
right since then I have bought some more mods
18" XXR 527's
genuine sti winglets as the guy before me put on a aftermarket winglets and splitter which I hated with a passion
also got a nice front lip
full leather interior including carpets and leather door cards
pioneer double din head unit http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165655
pioneer door speakers with adaptors
full set of all silicone hose from the group buy on the forum from scoobyworx " waiting for them to get in stock before they deliver "
full hawk eye centre console and hawk hand brake which I still need to fit
tripple gauge dash mount bought today http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1611924667...84.m1439.l2649
set of three JDM stepper gauges from prosport bought today oil pressure , voltage and boost gauge http://rspec.co.uk/b-gauges-b/jdm-stepper-motor-warning
also bought a gopro hero 3 black edition a couple of days ago for having some fun with the impreza.
also another set of mudflaps from matty the impreza breaker
here is the car with the XXR 527's before I changed the winglets and splitter
and now with the original winglets back on and a nice front lip on the impreza

Cheers jennas
the fact you dont like the wheels makes me like them even more 
Hmmm I think I know why when leather was mentioned you started thinking in a queer manner

got a set of nearly new mud flaps from matty @ MB developments which arrived today
the impreza already has mud flaps but the drivers side one is missing and the other three are a bit scabby so glad I got a set from matty
any chance of PMing me a rough price for your coilovers Dan as I would be interested
it wouldn't be till the start of march until I was home from Saudi Arabia mate so
there would be plenty of time as I know you are leaving your car until the MOT runs out
as its a 50/50 about going for coilovers

I know Dan I am still thinking on getting a set
I contacted myster R about the group buy thats on the forum and asked how long it would take after paying for the coilovers to arrive with me and they said it would be a little while.
if they said like 7 - 10 days I would of bought them there and then but I was not willing to wait weeks for them

The Arabs on the rig site tend to nail the Filipino roomboy " cleaner "
not joking about the roomboy either that really does happen.
my best mate was at one of the land rigs and under the portacabins seen a pile of used rubbers that had been thrown underneath and the thing is there is not a woman in a 50 -100 mile radius LOL
