Subaru Friday picture thread! *Of your own Subaru*

Mark did a fantastic job thanks
I asked for a remap as the car was not holding boost above 4,000 rpm and was not running as 'sweet' as it should and I don't think it had been mapped since I sold it in 2009 (bought the RA back in October 2015).
The TD05 20G turbo was second hand when I purchased it in 2007 and it was rebuilt earlier this year - so well used and a bit worn I suppose
Mark said it was a good strong car and drove very well, so I am delighted.

Nice! Some effort gone in there. What paint did you use? love them prodrive calipers too!
#1041
cheers every bit helps
the struts were new, springs were sand blasted, I sprayed them with grey primer and then with Ford sunburst red (the struts are a pinky poofy red colour)
Control arms prepped, primed and painted with VHT silver
The blue painted arms were painted with Hammerite smooth after prep and grey primer, bolts painted with mica blue caliper paint that was used for the rear calipers lol
The black was sprayed with coats of paintable stonechip and finished with satin black top coats
came out well and will add some protection to the car now (not that it'll see wet weather, unless I can't avoid it)
I removed the calipers cleaned all the old baked in brake dust and gave them a good clean, couldn't find a colour to match the Alcons so I could'nt touch up the Allen screw bolt heads

Original side repeaters (for a complete matching set) too?
The amber and anthracite works brilliant with that rather nice green.
