Cheers Miggs, very much appreciated!!

Guys, not being from a Subaru back ground but looing at picking one up I'm wondering what upgrades there are for the RB320, ideally I dont want to go with things that havent got a proven track record......happy to push the car up a few BHP as long as the pack is from a reliable seller.... Will happily look at any sites that you could recommend, going to have about £3.5k to spend on it initially.

Need to put this thread on hold for a while until I find either another WRX STI or RB320 that I want....grrrrrrr.

Difference is I'm usually based in Paderborn, Germany.....its a good 5 hours to Calais and then a trip to wherever the car is....there's making a day of it and then taking the mick...... Hopefully I'll find a few to take a look at when I'm next back in the Country in September

Dont think I'll go down that route Miggs....could find myself in very deep water very quickly....lol

thanks for making me feel even worse Gambit.....:( :P....I will find one!!!

Cheers guys, definately after the Saloon, colour isnt really a decider as its getting wrapped almost immediately....just gutted that one with the Spec I want and with the larger spoiler has slipped through my fingers.....its sometimes crap to be in the Army!! It would have been mine if I was on the same continent let alone in the UK.... ...oh well the search continues!!

Just been informed that the 340R WRX STI that I was looking to buy was sold yesterday for the asking price....absolutely gutted!! Back on the look out for a decent WRX STI or RB320 it is then.....if anyone hears anything please give me a shout.....:(

Thanks Fang, great write up and now really need to have the one I'm looking at to be still available at the end of August......

Any update on this? I'm looking at getting one with the 340R pack already fitted so wont see the difference. A nice little write up wouldnt go un-thanked......

Cheers guys, I'm sure the wife will be interested to see me starting to look at mods for it already.......I can hear the argue....discussions already....lol

So I should replace the Audio System with an Android Phone????......LMAO, Got to admit I love my Apple products, the IPhone I have does everything I want it to and I spend more time on my wife's IPAD than she does...well almost. I'll also be looking at a Mac book Pro to replace my current laptop in the next couple of months....the problem with travelling so much is that most of my stuff ends up broken quite quickly, just love the way squaddies throw all the kit around!!

Thanks for all your help guys, will be searching Ebay on my return.....wonder what else I can get????

LMAO at Miggs. Looks like an awesome system but a bit more than I'm looking at doing.

Cheers Davie, I'll take a look at them once I get back from here and have a computer that does what I want it to. I dont suppose you got a look at what prices they were charging for them?

Gambit, I've got to admit I'm not planning on going that far....lol Pete, that looks like its factory fitted mate...could just go one of those depending on how bad it actually is.

I've been told that the Stereo in the WRX STI isnt that good, has anyone on here changed theirs out and for what? or what would people recommend to put in?

Thanks Miggs, I dont get back from Canada until 2nd September and if the car I'm after is still there it'll be mine within 7 days of my return.....having somewhere to then get the lights straight from would be a huge bonus.

Cheers Gambit. Hopefully have a car by September and look at meeting up with some of you guys!!

As far as I'm' aware North American lights for all makes are slightly different to the European Spec, I looked into buying a Dodge Challenger and importing it but one of the major expenses with it was the difference in the light alignment. Apparently the American style does not have to be as accurate with the flow of light coming out of the front as opposed to the kick up to the right that you need for Europe or to the left that you need for UK. Its why a lot of North Americans when up grading go for European lights for their chosen cars.

I know that the WRX STI got a upgrade to 320 not long ago but as I'm doing some digging into the 2nd hand market I'm seeing a few cars with a 340R Prodrive option. Does anyone know what has been upgraded on these models or is it simply a re-map to take it to 340 Bhp? Again any help is appreciated as I dont have much knowledge about Subaru's as I've always been a Ford and BMW owner in the past.

Not allowed to use the beam benders as I'm actually living in Germany so have to go through British Forces Germany registration and pass their tests, a little more strict than MOT's but based on that test. I'm actually out in Canada at the minute and only have a work computer that doesnt let you onto Ebay so will have to have a good look once I get home next month. Already got my eye on the WRX STI that I want, just hope its not snapped up before I get a chance to have a look at it!!

We do have a Rally car but its only been involved with the event at Aldershot. Rally for Heroes event is more like the Cannonball Run or Gumball Rally but is done on a budget so anyone can take part as long as they raise cash for our chosen charity. We will be at the Sunseeker Rallye in Southampton area in October too and would love to see anyone who is in the area.

Pete, the prices in Germany are extremely high for everything mate. Not even seen a WRX STI in Germany yet so very doubtful there would be any in the breakers. I'd also like to get them fitted in the UK so I can fully understand what they are talking about when it comes to a final bill, its amazing how much stuff you miss when they tell you in German and then print the receipt in German too. Probably why its all so expensive...lol

Hi guys, I've got a little issue... I'm based in Germany and need to find Left Hand Drive Headlights for a WRX STI on an 11 plate so that I can drive legally in Germany whilst stationed there. Does anyone know where I can get some from and how quickly they can deliver? Looking to pick the car up in September but only have a short period of time to get it sorted out once I get to Germany so want to go prepared. Thanks for the help!!
