Hi guys.
Well thought I'd get a bit of thread together rather than me keep updating my Hello thread.
Well as some of you know, I have a lovely JDM Impreza which I bought a couple of months ago and the bug has got me already and things have started to happen already.
This is the spec when I bought the car...

Miratec Silicone leads
Castrol Edge Sport 10W 60 Oil

Open mouth stainless decat downpipe (not fitted but included)
Racebox Full stainless exhaust system
Walbro 255L fuel pump
Uprated injectors
Remapped.
Gearbox:
Exedy Clutch
Graham Goode short shift
Valvoline Gear oil
Suspension:
STI Shocks
Tein S Tech Springs
Front Strut Brace
Wheels:
Rota SDR 17x7.5
Toyo T1-R tyres
Brakes:
Godspeed reconditioned 4pot calipers with stainless pistons
Godspeed Grooved Discs front and rear
Uprated pads front and rear
Braided hoses
Dot 5.1 Fluid
Interior:
Prosport Gauges, showing Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Boost Gauge. Mounted in a triple pod replacing the top dash pocket.
Exterior:
Crystal;
Front headlights
Side lights
Front indicators
Side repeaters
Front Fogs
STI rear lights
Black mudflap kit
Tegiwa Black rear tow hook
And here is the beast...
And since buying the car, there is already a wee bit of an update. Started modding already hehe. It's a desease I swear, modding cars. It can be so addictive if you know what to do to get resaults.
But when I bought the scooby it had an open mouth downpipe with sports cat sitting in the boot. The exhaust system is already straight through stainless system from downpipe back, but now this is fitted it doesn't half sound nice now.
This is the item thats fitted...
I'll get a vid and some more pics when on the next nice day down at Fistral.
This is where it starts to get good hehe. I took the scoobs down to Scooby Bits a couple of days after buying it as they are only 9 miles from me and wanted to know I bought a good car. So went a ride down to visit Jason who runs the place. While he was looking round the car, all I could see was his eyebrows raising every now and then, and turns out I have a few more thing under the hood that I didn't even realise were there lol.
I dont have a VF24 turbo, it's actually a VF29 so that put a smile on my face. Also the engine is not it's original either. It's got a UK 300 engine fitted with ECU and runs perfect on normal unleaded. Still notice the difference if I treat it to a bit of V-Power but until after christmas shes staying on normwal, so that was a huge bonus.
Also the interior is from a limited edition sport model which is very rare apparently. The colour is very rare on anything other than a RB5. Oh last but not least, the intercooler is alot bogger than it's original, reckons it's from a newage one with modded Y pipe to fit the classic engine.
So that visit was well worth it. Since then I have fitted a Baileys DV12 dump valve. And before anyone jumps on me about how crap baileys can be, I payed an extra £65 for a uprated spring kit to change the standard, common faulty spring for the uprated one. Also the piston inside is different to standard to help stop it seizing, and with the fluid I got with it, aslong as I keep on top of it, I shouldn't ever see any problems. All this was recommended by Jason at Scooby Bits. He agreed that Baileys are common to go wrong but its down to the standrad springs and the lack of lubrication by the owner.
So now, she roars something fearce when acclerating and sound sounds great when you change gear. The upside to it is, I can definatly feel the difference with the power. Not huge but definatly a difference. So now, just need to wait till March to get it live mapped and should be seeing over 350bhp+ easily hehe.
