Looks sweet mate! Personal opinion would be different wheels and sort the sidelights out! Much prefer clear to chrome!

Other than that me likey a lot! Black does suit a classic.

To be fair the 'known' abbr. is just TMI, so the F prob. threw you.

That angry face I find amusing, as it actually doesn't look that angry! Ergo, I use it in a non-serious, being silly, manner.

.......

So whats ur thoughts on the beast any ideas ?

Currently running ..

Apexi pfc
Harvey ported headers with matched uppipe
Blitz exhaust
Standard vf28
Mapped

I'd love to upgrade the turbo but don't wanna blow the standard internals still running the short ratio box would love a 6 speed unit but 2k

Loads of other little bits done but not performance

Apart from a going up the forge route I don't think there is much more i can do.

Hasnt been on rollin road yet but est at 320 ish hopefully

Any ideas

Well, as you know, I too have a (regular) STi 5... Why not take a look at "My Garage" for mod ideas.

Thanks just took a peek ....

Thought the limit was 350 /360 on standard internals ?

If i can push mine to 384 I'd be v happy or is it the box that goes first...

Did think fmic injector & fpr but didnt think it would be much use unless over 400

P.s white is the slowest colour by far

Would definately put OE Subaru wind deflectors on it, it's a small touch but it's the little ones that make the difference.

You can get them from your local subaru garage will try and find the part number if i've still got it..
Think they were £95 or + Vat for the set which includes the 2 tinted deflectors which have doubled sided tape already on in place, brackets and fittings and instructions.

Well worth the money for the end result in my opinion.

Heres a couple of pics of them fitted if that helps persuade ya! lol :-









Was when I had my old phone so excuse the crap quality of pictures..

Nope, the tricky part is lining them up perfectly along the pillar, trying not to let it touch and stick where you don't want it. Make sure you line up a couple of times without removing the backing of the tape and hold it n see if your door opens without the top edge of the glass catching..

1) Once your happy just give your pillars a good clean and wipe dry. Then blow over them with a hair dryer or heat gun to warm them up, and the deflectors just to make them a tad bit easier to work with..

2) Start at the front bonnet end and peel the tape off as you push it onto where you want it, do it slowly and you'll get it perfect.

3) Once they're stuck on you pull the rubber door seal away from the top body, attach 3-4 fitting brackets which are already allocated places and then put the fittings through them that secure the deflector to the brackets.

I've probably made it sound 10 times harder than it is, but you get all the instructions with it and you can't go wrong.

I think picture 3 might be the part no. not sure... My chinese is a little bit dusty!
