Back in the Fold [Pics]
Back in the Fold [Pics]
Well after a year out of the fold due to financial difficulty, i've now recovered and splashed out on another scoob. This time an '03 STI (my favourite looking shape) with 44k miles on.
Drove circa 700 miles for this beauty, on the way home though in the last stint i started using the throttle and unfortunately had a little coming together with a bunny at a not so sensible speed - physics dictated that my splitter would shatter, it did
Literally 10 minutes from getting it back to my house too 
Oh well another one ordered.
The drive is amazing, was dead set on getting an Evo 8, drove a few and loved - almost committed to a red FQ300 but thought i'd give the impreza a go. Result was not expected; was pants down a better handling car (that said it has had circa 5k spent on chassis setup)
I drive a lot of cars through work and can honestly say this is THE best handling car i've ever put through its paces.
It's also had a TSL 333 tune up
Anyway, only got it y'day so pics are a bit primitive as yet..
Super fast splitter vs bunny:

From: Bringing up the rear of convoys since 2010!
Thought the brakes looked rather special! Bet it grinds to a hault in no time at all!
So bit of an update after 2 weeks. So far spent £1500 on her already, i really forgot how much these cars cost :lol
First off replaced the splitter the rabbit gave up its life for
Made the hour drive to Alan Jeffery's place for the AP clutch to be fitted, had quite a few big scooby builds on the go down there i had a snoop around..
Also got the sports cat wrapped - more pops and bangs now
Also after 2 weeks of ownership i've decided I prefer the look of the standard gold wheels, but i can't go down to them because of the front brake setup grrr, so if anyones interested in swapping my 8 pots fro standard brembo's and standard wheels for mine then let me know
