Hello chaps,
Don't post much on here, more of a lurker, but I thought I'd let you have a look at my new car.
Prior to this I had a 'Bugeye' WRX Impreza, which although a nice car to drive I did get a bit bored of after a while, and don't really have the funds to spend to make it more exciting.
Anyway I decided to go a bit old school so have sold the bug and have now got a 1995 WRX import. Spec is as follows -

3" full decat with Ninja 2 back box
Whiteline 22mm ARB's front and rear
Whiteline alloy droplinks front and rear
Subaru 4 pot front brake upgrade with drilled and grooved disks all round and EBC red stuff pads
HKS SSQV dump valve (soon to be removed as I hate them!)
Mine's Z4 ECU
STi 8 front and rear seats
17" Inovit Redline Alloys

The car is still restricted to 112mph, and has 72,000km on the odo.

The car was rolling roaded in March this year and made 306bhp with 257 lb/ft torque

The difference between this car and the bug is night and day, some may see it as a backward step, but I would rather sacrifice a bit of refinement for the way this car pulls! Can't wait to get a track day booked now.

Anyway enough of my rambling, here are a few pics and a dyno graph as I know you have to be able to back up power claims on here

very nice looking scoob there

Nice Scooby. Is it an STi version 1?

I recognise that car.........was that bought from someone in Norwich?

Nice specification and thank you for remembering the golden rule about graphs (Good lad )

That looks like a nice example Mark.
Hope you have fun in it mate

Very nice - love the combination of colour and the wheels.

Thanks for the kind words chaps.
It was bought from a guy in Norwich, he px'd it against my bugeye.
It's not an STi, just a plain old WRX, but with the mods the guy did on it it is quicker than a standard STi 8)
Just got to decide what further mods to do to improve it further, so if anyone has any suggestions do say (bear in mind that budget is the deciding factor!)

Cheers

Mark

Suggestions :

Get rid of the red stuff pads if you're going on track. Fit something like Mintex 1155

An ESL ecu for live mapping and for future mods.

Boost, oil temp and oil pressure guages would be helpfull

Change the seats bak to classic ones.

Mine had Spec C seats when I bought it, they sit you way too high, even if they are lovely seats

Yeah you do sit a bit high.
It had crossed my mind to swap back, as I'm pretty tall as well, making it seem that you sit even higher.
Plus if I do a swap with someone it may well mean a bit of money my way....
