My new Subaru

[leeds_182]

To give you an idea :rasp:

If it had lowz it would look tidy.

 

[Stefan.]

^ :dapprove: just doesn't look right to me

I agree, however that was lowered! Only on Tein springs though. Coilovers and a little lip spoiler would be a must.

 

[coleman]

Nooooo!

 

[jesus]

Don't worry, I put it straight back on. LOL.

 

[Herr Flick]

When i took the spoiler off one of my classics to wrap it.. Looked s**t.

Not a fan, leave it on!

 

[leeds_182]

Little update. Bought a non res centre pipe and second decat to go with the walboro fuel pump and k and n panel filter.

Car will be hopefully getting remapped next Tuesday by andy Carr.

 

[yeecup]

nice. glad to see your getting it mapped after decatting it, and the uprated fuel pump. should be good for 350bhp after a map, will be beast then. very jealous, its the exact model and colour i want for myself. seen one just like it for sale on pistonheads at hurst cars, low miles with the ppp pack, how r u finding it as a daily driver? hows the v power consumption?

 

[leeds_182]

It's not a daily. With the way this thing drinks I'm not sure how anyone can run them as dailys!

 

[yeecup]

that bad then. lol. i only do circa 3-4 miles a day so the mpg doesnt matter as much but obviously is one of the major factors putting people off buying them.

 

[leeds_182]

To be fair on a run I got 250 - 300 on a tank but round town it seems a lot worse.

£30 doesn't get you very far but that can be said of most cars these days. I'm just glad there's no mpg gauge - out of sight out of mind.

 

[leeds_182]

Got a sports cat down pipe as well;

 

[Donny_Dog]

I'd be interested to see the one you remove. My wrx had one that blanked off half the outlet from the turbo.

AFAIK they all have that. Hence why people say they are so restrictive. Once you get a bell mouth decat/sports cat etc it makes a huge difference.
I've removed 3 and they've all been the same.
This is from my 2005 WRX STI.

Voila.

 

[yeecup]

I need another scoob so bad

 

[leeds_182]

Got all the new bits fitted and the car was road mapped by andy Carr.

Feels so much better to drive and also sounds the nuts although I think it's lost the neighbour friendliness.

Ill be hopefully getting it rolling roaded in march at the rs tuning meet so should have an accurate figure.

 

[_Tom]

Road mapping is mental. I remember when my bro had his old STi done..lol

Yeah, I'm waiting for some kinda nip in the post.

 

[yeecup]

Andy Forrest road mapped 2 of my scoobs, had some clown in a fiesta up my tail until andy gave me the green light to floor it in 3rd to 6k 305bhp in a classic proved too much for the poor ford lol

 

[imprezaworks]

The same. Jgm mapped one of my old impreza's on the road. Same with another guy who mapped my evo, the latter being funnier. Funny enough it was an st fiesta behind me.

 

[Donny_Dog]

Can't wait to buy this.

 

[imprezaworks]

Buy what, his car?

 

[leeds_182]

Hes under the impression that I sell most my cars at a loss after spending 1000s on servicing and modifications......

 

[imprezaworks]

Standard lol.

 

[len_beach]

Can't wait to buy this.

You don't need to now you have another Clio.

 

[leeds_182]

Have it a clean today - Need some of that tardis stuff but still scrubs up well.

 

[leeds_182]

You don't need to now you have another Clio.

The crab?

 

[imprezaworks]

Love that. You still like it etc?

 

[leeds_182]

Its the fastest car I've owned but also the thirstiest. I've come to the conclusion that you can't have one without the other!

 

[imprezaworks]

Ha ha. Great cars and miss mine but circumstances changed, stupid mortgage, responsibilities .

 

[Donny_Dog]

The crab?

Haha! Mega Lolz.

 

[len_beach]

The crab?

Crabbing solved. My spade handed brother has fitted the camber shims the wrong way so I now have -1.5 caster.

Car looks good Jim. You can't beat sub 20mpg's!

I'm glad it doesn't have an mpg readout in the car! £70 of tesco 99 will see 200 miles....

Probably about the same as my M3. £85 of V Power does about 230-250 at 19.7mpg. Bad times!

High roller fuel economy.

Looks great, I love the STI in that colour.
