  1. Thanks for the replies! thats why I'm a bit torn, I've heard good and bad things about these. Mostly bad though I've got to say
  2. Hi, As per title, i'm after the Red Sweeping Clocks / instrument panel from UK Hawkeye STI. Must be working order and MPH! Thanks,
  3. Hi, I'm looking for a UK Hawkeye STI Instrument cluster, Red light up clocks with Sweep on start up. Needs to be in MPH. Do you have one? Thanks,
  4. Helpful. Everyone has their own opinion. If everyone shared the same views and/or listened to people trying to put down their choices, we would all have very boring cars. Thanks. The main reason I ask is that the lights on the Blob Sti i've just bought have not aged well. OEM lights i've seen for sale aren't much better condition than whats on the car already, and are around £150 each. Brand new set of angel eye headlights are about £200.
  5. Hi guys, recently just bought my 05 Sti and it looks like someone has had a go at modifying the headlights but not quite done the full job. i really like the look of the Angel eye headlights. Like these https://www.energizedcustoms.co.uk/shop/subaru-impreza-2003-2005-black-angel-eyes-headlights-pair.html?gclid=CK-Ig5HL38wCFUKZGwodtAUIRQ Has anyone got these? What the quality/brightness etc like. thanks,
  6. Hey guys! Thought I would come back with an update! I bought an Impreza! Decided to just go all the way and get an Sti instead! Little rough around the edges stone chips and the carbon is a little faded but mechanically it's spot on. I can't wait to make it my own!
  7. Thanks very much! really appreciate the advice. What i liked about scooby world was the packages they offer, performance packs and handling packs. Basically drive in - drive out service, supply and fitting of handling and performance packages. Working full time its not always easy to get the car to a garage and back, take delivery of parts etc, so it seemed like a pretty handy option. Drive in, get a bunch of work done all at the same time and drive out with a totally different car. Checking out tarmacsportz now, thanks!
  8. Thank you for the replies! Should I be looking for a stock car then rather than something that has already some performance mods done? Thanks for the link Geoff, though i've not sold my CTR yet so i'm not ready to buy at the moment. An old work colleague that had an older WRX recommended ScoobyWorld, i had a look at the site last night and they have a few good looking packages, handling, gauges, performance pack. Whats their reputation like?
  9. Hi All, I'm looking at buying a Blob Eye WRX. Currently have a Civic Type R (FN2), i love it, but i want a change and something more mod-able. If any of you know about CTR's you'll know how much of a pain they are to mod. Its a highly strung NA engine and you're looking at around £3k+ to get anything around 50bhp gains. I love Japanese cars, it has to be a Turbo and ideally 4WD, so an Impreza is the obvious choice! and i love the shape of the blob eye. It might be a bit naive but in my head i'm thinking that i'll sell the CTR and buy a semi-high mileage WRX then with the cash i'll have left over, and probably some savings turn the WRX into something special. I know you never get back the cash you put into a car which is why i want something as a solid base i can keep and love for a long time, keep working on it and not worry about not getting back the money i'm going to be putting in to it. In my head im thinking; BOV, just cos i need that sound in my life. Handling; Strut braces, coilovers etc Wide arches and other body mods Get it wrapped I expect that will run me £3k+ Then i can work on increasing the power as and when i feel the need / can afford. That said i wouldn't be chasing high figures, reliability would be my main concern. It would be my daily for the foreseeable future, but my commute is less than 10miles a day so it hardly counts. It would be set up as more of a weekend toy but its has to be reliable enough to count on it to get me to work every day. I know its mostly down to how the car has been looked after, but in general how do they fair after 100k miles? Would an 03/04 higher mileage WRX be a strong/ reliable enough foundation for what i'm after? Would really appreciate any advice! Thanks,
