I'd be interested to read your on-going review of it as you live with it daily over the next few months. Nice one

MAny thanks all for your positive responces, I didnt know what was going to come as many people dont like the new hatch.

Any way a couple of new items arrived late this afternoon at work today so I had to stay a bit late and fit them

Nice new shiney cat back Milltek exhaust and a genuine JDM rear hatch lamp assembly to remove the stupid red triangle for the fog light, now has a nice clear lamp with red LED bulb, which came from Litchfield imports.

Just a few more photos of when it was sitting at dingles awaiting for the first of the month and the new exhaust

As I have said it is a TOTALLY different car to drive than our Hawyeye.
It will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and we have done 450 miles in it so far and I can honestly say they have been very pleasureable miles aswell.

So far we love this car, yes the power is down but not for too long hopefully, with the full system and a remap it should be better than the last one.

Milltek looks awesome! How does it sound?

Different than other scoobs mate, slight burble on idle and when you touch the throttle is sounds different has more of a tone to it,
Hopefully when the front section is fitted it will sound like the demo on the milltek site:

I am hoping that the front cats are deadening the noise, but I am not too worried if it is a bit quieter than red rocket.

Also considering getting the JDM door mirrors as they are smaller and dont look like dumbo's ears sticking out either side.

Should sound good Julian, cant wait to see it in the flesh!

Personally, i think the mirrors look fine. I certainly wouldn't change anything on it, looks stunning.

Whens its first trackday then? lol!

Sorry but I still don't like the new shape Impreza. IMO the rocket looked a lot better.

Well julian i must say your new chariot looks fantastic in the metal!:coolgleamA: These new hatches look so much better for real than in any photo`s.( especialy with the jdm rear lights!) Are these hatchbacks now classed as the new-new age?:D
