What's your modding plans for this year?

After it took me six months to collect a box of parts for my 330bhp plans, then sold them as my missus became pregnant, I'm left wondering what I'm doing next with the car without spending £1000's.. So, I'm looking to do a little bit at a time. The car drives and handles fine but always room for improvement.. So cosmetically next on the list is powder coating the wheels.. Black or graphite grey. I'm also planning to have just the roof vinyl wrapped in satin black, probably need a photoshop pic to check it out first but I don't think there's many other scoobs out there with this done.. then I'm looking at having the the section between the grill and lower half of the bumper the same.. next is suspension, on the look out for some decent coilovers, then saloon wings then that's it at the moment!

Anyone else got any modding plans whether engine or cosmetics?

Was going to get some rota grids but in 2 minds at the min as Hardys
Says his catch his arches and I can't be bothered with that.. And I think 17s won't look any good

stop spending money on the things

I've thought n thought about a set of these......looks hell yeh!!! The sacrifice to get that look right.....also to be able to lay the power down hmmm it's going to be a stiff ride and planning your roads you take for bottoming out risk......got to slamm on Rotas or wide arch kit IMO

I no mate, really really want some but the sacrifice off not being able throw the car around and shitting myself near curbs, rubbing on the tyres ect ect I'd rather leave my sti wheels on,, but I no what am like all change me mind, the thing is am
Due new tyres got about 3-4 left so there's £400 I can sell mine as Iddy is after some sti ones to put back on so heads all over,, do u think 17s will look naf

I agrees those rota's are mint on an impreza, but does noone agree they sort of defeat the object of the car?

I no Clarky Hardys look awesome and really sets it off and it don't seem to stop his driving any different lol

has he done another splitter???????
ya cant push to hard on those stretched tyres so ive been told cause the can pop off the rim, whether this is right or not i dunno but i wouldnt like to find out

I heard that as well still fancy some lol

Yeh am not a fan of the stretched tyre..... and the camber set to get them right in the arches without stretched tyres would kill the handling even more, it's more a show....cruse look IMO.......go wide arch and have the best of both worlds ;0)

Sti wheels staying on I think

an engine that runs

hawkeye front end , wen i finally find a cheap bonnet and wing (in progress)

bigger turbo,injectors and remap (in progress)

and paint work


then av got the classic t newage conversion too start

orr and wor lass might have a classic soon (pink)

With the current rate of fuel price inflation I'm considering a 1.3 engine conversion...

I'm cosmeticly thinking about carbon wrapping the STi spoiler blade, a carbon rear window spoiler,headlights de tangoed, some bonnet dampers and some prosport gauges that match my clocks then maybe a HKS SSQV and a HKS Silent exhaust..Would also like to somehow change the rear headlights cos I think the round bits on them look shite.. Oh and an anti hijack flamethrower kit hell yeah.....

Plans at mim:
black flaps, windows tinted, front splitter, lowered (unsure what 2 go for coilovers or lowering springs & upgrade antiroll bars), roof spoiler & maybe a nice new set of black rims..........
full decat exhaust, walbro or similar fuel pump, new pannel filter & first map

Wouldnt mind avin it de-tangod eitha lyk

Maybe some blue pipes & a hardpipe for airbox 2 smarten engine bay a little

Saloon WRX STI (oops allready picked that up)

Loads of mods to many to list I need it back to where the hawkeye was 300hp feels slow now

First thing is:-

Exhaust
Filter
Remap
Front Splitter
and so on and so on and so on

Straight through exhaust (full system) 3"
Better top mount intercooler
Induction kit
Turbo
Sim Teck
Fuel pump
Plugs - PFR7's
injectors
better rated MAP sensor
knock link or PSI3 kit
Ported headers
Ported up pipe
Wheels
Front end conversion
Interior
Different spoiler
New window tints
Splitter









And then new box, clutch and ENGINE
