Default Hello New STI owner

Just wanted to say hi, and i have bought my first impreza!
She is mint, 9300 miles


Booking in for next week to have the TSL333 pack fitted, anyone know how much it costs from them, they were closed when i tried to call.

Alos ordered the replica 18 inch prodrive wheels from Inovite in Anthracite, only £357.45!, now what tyres too get,


Thanks in advance guys

Yokohama Parada 2 get my vote. Awesome in the dry and fine in the wet provided you take heed of the reduced wet grip levels.

Two things on your awesome lookin motor Detango and stain headlights and Scott lowe splitter. It'll mean up the front end no end!!

My thoughts on the tyres would be: Toyo T1-R. Increased the handling of him. My mate had them on his Evo 6 too.

Lovely Looking STi Mate, remember the day i first picked up mine oh and the drive home

Going by your name your car may have PPP on it so id tell TSL that as it will already have an uprated fuel pump on it may save a wee bit of the cash e o

Colzo's right. I'm running 235 x 40 x 18 on my 18" Prodrive alloys (STi 2005)

The TSL pack will give you around 333Bhp (+/- variance).

Its the Prodrive Performance Pack that gives you around 303Bhp

Have fun mate, you're going to love it
