Well, I finally settled on a Scorpion exhaust. We spent an hour changing back boxes and testing them out. Hayward & Scott sounded a little bit louder, but with the tip rolled in, it made it look slightly too small. The Scorpion suits it better I think. It makes such a difference, seems to have a smoother delivery of power (could just be me imagining it). But the sound is where my smile comes from. It's a proper Subaru now! *rumble rumble rumble*

Got my exhaust fitted now! You can check it out in my Build Thread, so I'll close this one :) http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/13035-my-subaru-impreza-2000-uk-story/#entry80945

Are the blue lights actually blue tint? Or just white? The last blue ones I had (cant remember the brand) blew up after a day....

Silly question... but I wont lose power or anything like that if I'm not getting it mapped after?

There were a few Scorpion systems too, which were £120-£140, but they were too big for my liking. I'll more than likely swap it out when I have more money. But for the time being, it's in really good condition and gets away from my horrible twin exhaust :P

£160 a good price I assume? Back box is £250 by itself on Subaruworld...

Went to Scoobyparts and I'm getting a Haywood & Scott centre and back box :) £160 fitted. Second hand obviously. If I don't like how quiet it is, they'll swap and change exhausts until I'm happy :)

By the Pleasure Beach Gaulson :) Matt, I think I'm going to get the STi Lip looking at those. Ash... I'll be changing them for more expensive ones I think. Two of the bulbs have blown :-/ So I'm going to take it apart again and have a look.

No one's gonna mention the plane? Think you need to give that a good clean too! :P

That's two for Cobra then... hmmmmm. Anybody have a Ninja 2?

Looking good :) Both started our "projects" at the same time, will be interesting to see which routes we end up taking!

Yeah you'll know when I've got the exhaust :p I did hate the fog lights too, but now they've kinda grown on me. Thinking of changing them to driving lights instead... The JUN lip was one of the ones I was looking at or the P1 splitter... Sounds like a plan Gaulson, the mechanic up the road from me that changed my oil filter has gone and bought himself a classic thanks to mine :p

Ghost, changing the dials was actually a lot easier once we weren't scared of snapping clips. We stripped the whole centre console for nothing, because I eventually got too stressed out and just pulled the dial surround and voila! It just popped off like it was supposed to... I prefer the blue dials, but they do seem to be a bit dimmer to be honest. I'll probably find some brighter bulbs at a later date, but I'm fine with them for the time being. Savage, I agree. I'm stuck between 3 splitters at the moment. So whilst I rotate those options in my head, I'm going along the lines of an exhaust and keeping the car "fresh". Colour coding probably. Either way, I'm glad I went for a standard Subaru that I can now make my own. As opposed to buying something fully modified like my last few cars. Thanks for the comments too :)

Well, the other month I finally got my Subaru. A 1998 Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000 UK, which had been locked up in a barn for 3 years! It's got an extensive service history and was serviced every 6 months without fail... almost to the same day! It started with 75,000 and the only modification was Speedline Alloys that it had put on when he bought it brand new. This is how she looked when I first got her: The orange had to go quickly, but I had already gone out and bought clear front and side indicators (premature I know!) I started hearing grinding from the back, so took it to National Tyres and I've now got new brake pads all round. Also new oil and oil filter. Next it was off to CotComp near Preston for a Cosworth Panel Filter and to sort out and check a tapping, which turned out to be a Piston Slap :( But they've also sorted out my Boost Cut issue and replaced my solenoid which had part-fried itself. Side note... they gave me THIS as a courtesy car! Great people and very helpful. Slightly off topic, but we also went to WATCH a Rally Next, was my hatred for green lights in the dials... so mine now look like: After being to CotComp, they told me that my headlight motor had died too, which was perfect timing as I was on the look out for Crystal Headlights anyway. So I managed to find some, with sidelights, for £80 delivered... with motors. Before: During: After: (WHYYYY, do we have to have front number plates! :( ) What will come next?? Who knows!

Thanks for the offer mate, but I've decided to leave it :)

Thanks :) Yeah, I've read some good reviews for Cobra. I'm playing with the idea of getting just a back box first, then the rest later on... :-/ We shall see next month

That looks great! Hmmmmmmmm.... ideas and decisions!

They just pop over your Fog Lights. I've got them for my fog and headlights. They just clip over. My headlights and fog lights are still pristine thanks to them.

That's the sort of exit size I'm looking for :) Looks very nice on it too.

That's looking the right sort of size... Sorry to be a pain, but do you have a picture further back from the car? But head on?

Well, next month I'll hopefully be looking at getting a cat-back exhaust on my Turbo 2000. I want something that lets you hear the awesome Subaru sound, but don't want it massively loud. I also don't want an exhaust exit big enough to lose a small child down. So something around the ProDrive size? I think I'm wanting a straight exit too, as opposed to angled. So yeah, does anyone have any decent pictures for me to perv..... look at? Chris :)

Did anyone get round to fitting the exhaust and have a video?

Thanks guys :) And I'll have a look at the bulb again when I get free time. Not really bothered about the petrol light, I've never let the petrol go down enough for it to come on. Now just for the heater dials :D

Better than 4 hours!!! And no worries mate, it looks like I've found a breakers that will ship :) Thankyou anyways :)

I've found some colour coded side skirts, rear spats and a high rise spoiler in my colour!! Downside is he's in Brandon (Suffolk area) but won't courier them for me, collection only :( Would anyone be willing to get them for me and courier them up for me? Obviously I'd pay for the courier and you for how much you think it's worth to package it for me. Four hours drive each way, would cost me a fortune in petrol :) Chris
