my sti replacement, erm an impreza

Hey guys,

As some of you know, i had to sell my widetrack sti, due to the mrs losing her job and us expecting our second child.

I had looked around for a suitable replacement, looked at sorentos, then leon cupra r, i finally spoke to my mate kevc who said his old bug was for sale, so i approached the owner and here she is.

*

2001 bugeye wrx with just over 70k on the clock, been really well looked after,

Spec list is as long as your arm lol

D2 8pot brakes
Lowered on new shocks
Japspeed fmic
Full 3" decat with raptor
Flcocked dash
Intake
Mapped

And more

I picked the car up last sat, tbh the brakes were shocking. I hoped it was just bleeding but turned out to be the pads seized on both sides, hence a low pedal, 150 later, new pads in and good brakes,

So i decided on a quick colour change

*

*

Did the fmic too

*

Now i was never a fan of the bumper, sorry kev so i managed to find and chop up a prodrive bumper

*

*

*

Then turned my attention to the inside,

Removed the old single din hu, in favour of a double din Bluetooth unit, i then blacked the dash pieces and added a red jdm hazard switch,*

*

Had to use flash on this pic sonit looks terrible, alot better in real life

*

Final thing was a service

*

Today will be a quick clean up and wax, then ready to use for Christmas.

Cheers jake

I would be keeping those wheels on Jake. Think they look stunning.

 

Just got some for a Christmas pressie...



Just need to sort some tyres now (after checking they fit over my new Brembos ) - Thinking of Yoko AD08R 225/45/18s

 

They look stunning, but sont like the way it drives, wide wheels, thin tyres big offset =tramlining
