ugly1 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 fitted new STI exhaust today and finished off priming boot and spoiler and bumper. been busy at work so not much done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Do you spray for a living then ? If you do I was wondering why you was going white. And the exhaust looks loads better mate, after looking back at what was on the car. And I know the feeling with work stops me getting lots down to the car :) Or some W@nker on eBay saying he posts out 48 hour delivery and if payed for by 1 o'clock posts the same day a weeks later I'm still waiting for my hub :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugly1 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 No i'm don't do spraying for a living. the reason i am going white, is that over here i have only seen 1 white scooby and all the others are either red blue green or blue, so i wanted different also i have this decal set ready to go on car when sprayed ( pic of decal set i got below ) i never have enough time to do bits to car i just do when i can, thats why its being done in stages next to be done is roof. white paint has been ordered already though. the exhaust makes a big difference in sound and looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'm not sure what it is like on the non turbo but I know most of them you buy come with a bit of pipe so you can put the MAFS into it and then the cone goes on As you might be able to see on this picture/link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K-N-57i-Induction-Kit-57-0626-for-Subaru-Impreza-/300701506787?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ASubaru&hash=item460334dce3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
