So here we go again... another scoob and another Tnx to FBTuning.

Got my 2nd scoob STI V4 after 4years of owning a V3 STI wich was written off..

On a bright side i'm very happy with my new car , as its much fresher ,ticks the boxes of what i need from it at the moment. Had to work a bit on the body work , but it was well worth it as for the age the car feels very tight and clean. The spec is not impresive , but TBH it does exactly all i expect from it.
The car was pretty standart when i brought it except API engine rebuilt, sports cat+ exhaust. I've changed a couple bits for my liking from my old car, got it to Riches place and done the bits to it..
The spec as it is now:

Autobahn88 FMIC
Blitz high presure radiator cap
Jan Speed heat wraped downpipe
Fujitsubo 1 peace Legalis R exhaust system
NGK PFR7B Spark Plugs
K&N Induction
HRC Perfomance fuel pump
Denso 3 port solenoid
Graham Goode gauges
Apexi power Fc mapped by Rich@FB Tuning
Thicker Aliuminium radiator
Newish KYBs with eibach pro springs
23mm Zero Sports Rear ARB
Whiteline rear drop links
Front STI strut brace
Rear Cusco strut brace
Cusco H-Brace
Front godspeed discs + Ferrodo brake pads all around
Front detango headlights + side lights
Facelift bumper + Grille
Rear bumper lip
STI 7 powdercoated wheels wraped in Bridgestone RE50s
Anodised steel wheel nuts
Millers 10w40 engine oil
Motul rear diff oil
Redline Schockproof 75w90 transmition oil

Still got a couple things on my mind , but nothing crazy as its my kind of 3 day a week fam mobile.













So as usual, lots of to FB Tuning once again.... My car will be touched only by the master himself .

Hey Mantas!
Loving what you done with the car. Glad its gone to a good home and getting the tlc it deserves.
How does it perform with mods you done? Surely couldnt get much quicker, it was already a tyre shredder!!
Wanna sell it back? lol.
Respect is due mate.

Hi Jeff. Thanks for the offer but i'm keeping it. Just need to sort out a couple things and it will be ready for a track funn. Got Brembos and TD05 16G turbo waiting to go on and exedy pink clutch in near future , and that will be it for this year. It pulls similar TBH and the engine feels great apart the turbo which started to vine a bit on high boost so we kept it on low ATM to be on a safe side, thats why i've got the 16g. Front brakes were seised so i swapwd my other 4 pots for the time being, but in the end got brembos as after last MSOC meet they were fading after a couple good runs. The main thing is that the body feels very tight , specialy with some cusco goodies. Got front Cusco strut brace to go on instead the sti one , i think its a bit stiffer. Also front splitter is on the mind as the FMIC is tiking out a bit. Pfew, thats all me thinks. Hows your 55 AMG , dogs having enough of room in that one ?

Nice work dude!
55AMG gives dogs room to run around in back but i fancy it might be wrong car to have during a fuel strike! lol

maybe get another scoob some day.
