Thanks for the comments chaps, been very happy with the car since buying it, but now changing one or two things while it is off the road being tinkered with, what do you think about how it will look?...

I think it will look good matey. Although there's always room for more carbon! We do loads!

Im sat at work right now waiting for my carbon spoiler to arrive :thumb: Would love loads more bits and pieces but engine mods are taking priority atm, unless you want to come to some kind of sponsorship deal

Car will be in Jap Performance soon according to Martin Vincent (Ex editor now photographer of JP) so plenty of publicity

So what plans have you got for it next then?

MarshyRA · Post by **MarshyRA** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 3:32 pm

Current spec is...

EJ20 Closed deck block + all usual STI RA goodies (IC Spray,DCCD,Roof vent,etc)
Link ECU + Hand controller
Equal length headers/Decat/cat back 3" exhaust/DV
Paddle Clutch
Subaru 4 pots

When I first got it on the rollers it made 288bhp/285lb/ft but only at a fluctuating 0.7bar

Have already picked a Power FC, full H&S 3" exhaust& lightened fly, need new discs,pads& rear tyres, then it will be FMIC/Injectors/fuel pump etc, as many Whiteline goodies as I can (ARB's/Droplinks/Antilift) then finally a TD05 18G to hopefully see me to 380bhp with mapping done by Paul at Zen, which I will be happy with... for the time being

More on the spec/plans/photos over on Scoobycity!.

I spoke to Martin Vincent in the summer on a photoshoot for my mates MR2 that was recently in Jap Performace in its last 'look', since then his power should be over 450bhp+ with a GT3071R @2.0bar and it has the full wide arch TRD kit, also white with black wheels 8) I told him about this site so hopefully he will be over to tell you more soon! Anyway Martin said my RA is one of the tidiest he had seen (whilst taking lots of shots of it

) and said with the engine bay being tidied/chromed up and a FMIC or something to make it stand out, it would easily be featurable despite the high number of Imprezas wanting to get a feature - obviously an RA is that extra little bit special, and having project phoenix Im sure they probably have a soft spot for them! :thumb: Was also speaking to J Tuner but they are no more

So any impreza parts you want testing out let me know 8)

Quick question - what size alloys would people recommend for track days? Have seen some nice 16" wedsports which Id imagine would be better than my hefty 18's? And any other suggestions spec wise to make it a track animal would be much appreciated! Already stripped out rear seats and put some harnesses in, is it any kind of helmet that I will need?

Finally... excuse the crappy pictures...

I don't think we can excuse you for those crappy pictures!

But the fact that it's carbon we'll let you off. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm carbon.......
