ZeroPeak Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Greetings all, After a brief venture into the diesel life, I can happily say that I’ve seen the light and rejoined the Subaru ranks! I recently managed to get my hands on the Subaru I wish I had bought first time round - a 2010 WRX STI Type UK. I’ve always been incredibly fond of this shape, but for various reasons I instead picked up a blobeye wagon as my first. All I can say is I’m thrilled with my choice this time round (not that I wasn’t before!) and look forwards to what I have planned for the car. Joe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG77 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Welcome back and great choice of car. I have a 2011 one and like you I also love this shape. You don't tend to see many of this shape around (well from my experience). What plans have you got for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroPeak Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Thank you all for the reception 😀 They do seem to be fairly rare around where I live, so I'm always excited when I do see one 😄 I've got an MBRP exhaust on it's way, as the stock exhaust was a little too tame for my liking. I'm also on the hunt for a decent headunit, as my bluetooth/USB/Aux point blank refuses to work, so I'm stuck with CDs for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a muffler delete when I first got mine as it was way too quiet, but will being going for a full upgrade this year. In regards to head unit I replaced my on xmas eve with a pioneer SPH-DA230DAB. I went with that one as it had Apple car play. Liking it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarBoyCam Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Great looking car. I was tempted by that era but couldn't justify paying the tax each year and not coming in WR Blue was a deal-breaker haha. Just put the Pioneer AVIC-Z930DAB in my STI. Little tricky to get it up and running properly but it works great now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't believe blue was never an option for this model, guess someone higher up thought they wouldn't sell! 🤣 Awesome, I'll have a gander at that model too 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditching the WR Blue over here make it stand out less. I think they also only offered the big wing as an option too. Think they got a lip spoiler on the boot lid as standard. Like @CRG77 said, WR Blue was only an option in the US and Japan on these. But we got the hatch of the late 00s in WR Blue at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
