Fair enough - I understand

Wotcha and welcome - no worries with the questions ask away... here is potentially what should have been done with the PPP upgrade http://www.subarupartsstore.co.uk/product/Impreza_WRX_2.5_2006-2007_Performance_Pack_SACC2631 The Cobra backbox would not have been part of the initial upgrade but may have been changed for sound. The OZ alloys will appeal to some but I couldn't put a price on them - if you are willing to hold for the right price you will get it, ultimately OZ make a quality product. Repairing the bumper at a decent bodyshop will give you a better finish than buying second hand. Which spoiler have you seen as there as many to choose from, can you post a link?

Wotcha and welcome matey - if you have had a mooch about before you probably have got a feel for the forum - great to have another XV onboard :)

Check the for sale section - chap listed a classic wrx recently

Sounds like a plan - The only thing I would look at, other than the mods you have suggested, with the WRX is possibly an STI spoiler on the hatch http://j-w-racing.co.uk/product.php/5268/1416/seibon_oem_style_carbon_fibre_rear_spoiler_for_2008_2009_subaru_impreza_wrx_sti

Wotcha and welcome Try using a hosting site like Photobucket and then post the link

with a standard Shark STI you are looking at around 296bhp do the PPP mods as you describe and that will take it to a conservative 326-330 bhp. However what you get with the STI vs WRX are chassis changes and 6 speed gearbox. The wheel bearings and hubs are bigger and lighter designed to handle the heat from heavy braking. IMO complete the mods you plan and look at changing the car in a couple of years What I dont know with the WRX is the state of the internal components, if they would take the potential 300bhp you fancy - the STI has forged pistons,

I reckon so

Top job that, do like the blue ☺

Nice motor that, premium price though

They will do the job no problem :)

Wotcha and welcome!!

OK happy with that - I wasn't missing something, ill write this one up as plonker :)

Yup they were fine - it was a 63 plate rental car all in good order

Driving up the motorway the other night I came across a red astra - I had been doing the use inside and middle lane as traffic was quite light - about 21:30 in evening, so was crossing the lanes as I needed to overtake. As I came up behind this car I moved from the middle to outside lane behind him - he had been sat there for a bit. we were doing comfortable motorway speeds so I had left a good 3 - 4 car gap behind him but then also noticed both the rear lights were out - the brake lights did work though. We got past the cars in the middle lane and then eventually the astra pulled into the middle so I could get past - I was in a standard enterprise rental rep car black SRI insignia, nothing special. Anyhow this is where it gets strange, as I pulled alongside he put his offside indicator back on, nothing in front of us so I dont know why that was done I assumed at the time it may have been caught as the lane was changed. We were then approaching a wide load with convoy escort - I was back in middle lane ahead of the astra but slowed down to under 60 to pass the wide load in the middle lane. Matey in the Astra was back in outside lane but when I looked he was still indicating to the right side and he was turning his headlights on and off?? He then sat on my rear quarter offside for the next couple of miles - if I accelerated a bit he would match and if I slowed he would slow. In the end I wondered if it wasn't the Astra and I had picked up an unmarked car so I slowed right down and let him come past - it was the astra still so I thought ok let him pull in and I can over take - He pulled in about half a mile later and sat there a few car lengths in front. I gave it a bit longer happy he wasn't going to leap for the outside lane again and indicated then over took and pulled away getting clear and moving into the middle lane, as I pulled along side the indicator came on again and as I pulled into the middle lane a good few cars clear he started turning the headlights on and off again - like the opposite of high beaming me. I thought initially I had fog lights on or left the indicators on but after a check I confirmed they were off. So does this mean anything? Been driving a fair few years and seen many lorry drivers high beam you as you overtake them :P but never seen anyone deliberately turn off their headlights on a motorway in the dark??

Good luck with the sale - tidy looking motor that

Wotcha and welcome

it is like bikers - I exchange flash lights and the odd wave etc, do for all models but get most response from Imprezas and legacies, the Fozzies by me tend to be driven by the older generation and dont respond :)

Wotcha and welcome

It does flash by doesn't it

Wotcha and welcome!!

Wotcha and welcome!!

It was predominantly the early STi's or cars that didnt check oil levels (eg Petes mate) the 330 mapping and 2009 on STi's have the revised parameters

im sure you would have a few volunteers standing by ;)

I would also confirm on dyno when time allows - pity Im not down near you at the moment I'd quite happily play Goose ;)
