My new Crystal Grey STI
After having done 65,000 in 3 1/2 years i sold my blue blob STI last summer for a old Jag XJS V12 ( was an itch i had to scratch ), btw if you think your car is juicy try an old jag for size and then come back to me
Anyway i sold the Jag at the start of May and began my search for anothe '05 spec STI, i wanted the 2 litre for it stronger engine, not needed now but going MD route when i have saved up enough pennies, I saw many cars advertised as minters that were more like munters ! When i saw this one down in Hants, It was a bog standard STI although the owner had been told by a main dealer it was a PPP car, i phoned the main dealer and they told me the same !!!! lying gits all it had was a Ninja back box (which i am selling if anyones interested and when i get my ar$e in gear and advertise it)
So i have done a light set of mods full 3" H&S decat (downpipe dei wrapped), fuel pump, green filter, Ngk's etc etc
Mapped at Surrey RR by Mr Roe it made 343bhp and 330 lb/ft on that one and only 35c monday a few weeks ago so pretty pleased given the temps
Any way a few pics for you after a fair bit of cleaning

Good to be back !!

Really nice, out of interest mate how much did you pay for it and what's the current mileage? My old sti https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...and-photo.html seeing yours I wish I never sold mine. Rather than a jag I had an evo itch which I had to scratch.

Thanks fir the comments, I paid 8k for it about 2 months ago, not sure if that was too much but yhe money and condition was right for me
@ Stevie it does look very high in those pics, suspension is on the list of thing to do, as
for the rims I know what you mean they are oz seperleggera and was unsure when buying the car, I think Subarus look better with contrasting wheels having said that again ' in the flesh' they don't look as awkward on the car, but will probably go Anthracite/black gloss eventually
I am in the Maidstone area so if any one has a set of old prodrive springs taking up space I might interested

Looks great mate, as said some Prodrive springs would really finish the car nicely, I also have crystal grey and if your after some really bling wax have a look at the Dodo juice range its great for our colours especially "Light Fantastic" or "Supernatural"
