Impreza fuel surge is a thing of the past for me!!!
Due to the 'saddle' tank design, Impreza suffer from fuel starvation on long sweeping corners at anything less than half a tank. Not ideal for track days!
So i had a fuel swirl pot setup fitted.
My uprated Walbro 255l in tank pump now feeds a 2 litre boot mounted pot, then a Bosch 044 motorsport fuel pump sends this to the engine. With various returns etc, so the pot stays full.
All finished with braided hoses and superbling couplings!
I also had some more camber added to the front and rear wheels, nothing too wild, but should help grip on track!
And thats it for a good while, just going to enjoy the car on track and road!

Nice, I like.
Need to see that setup up close Mat, my IS suffers really badly from fuel surge too...anything less than 15 litres or so and I can't brake or corner without it stuttering or dying completely when I get back on the throttle.

ok, so done a few small bits.
Firstly i finally got round to fitting my STi replica front splitter.
I also got round to fitting my Cusco radiator panel:
Next on the agenda was getting my car through noise testing at track days. With a day at Goodwood looming i took the car there to test. Without a bung it ran 102db, and with the bung 97db, which although was 1db under the limit, was too close to risk.
So i looked into new systems, getting a custom silencer made up etc. In the end i decided to go with a new system. So purchased a HKS Silent Hi-Power system:
Not too convinced on its looks at the moment, as it has a 5inch tailpipe on it, but i think once it gets a bit grubby it wont look so OTT. But noise wise.... its amazing, as quiet as a standard car, but with 3inch pipe work, no performance lost!
Then finally i added to the stealth effect going on inside the cabin, by spraying a few parts matt black (previously silver):
Then after alot of work and patience, i went wild and installed my 'sticker bombed' centre console. Probably not to everyone's taste, but i love it!

I love this car.
Centre console looks amazing! That's how you do it... not some weak, half-arsed effort.

You sir, have taste. (and £££)

Not much over standard, 350bhp 316lb/ft. But engine work has been done to make it reliable, so sump baffle, oil cooler, fuel system, intercooler etc.
But put a fair amount of time and effort into the chassis, so handles pretty well!
Cheers for the positive comments guys!
Centre console ftw! I bought Stickerbomb2 with intent to do mine, sold the Scoob before I had chance and now they're on my Clio's dash strips haha.ok, so done a few small bits.

Gauge mount came with the gauge, its pretty standard, but being a Defi one is nicely made etc.
