Default Newbie TopTogs - Southend

Hi all,

I posted a little while ago saying i was looking for a scooby but had no idea what model.

I picked up MY95 WRX STi 555 on tuesday night.

Wow it makes my FTO look FT-SLOWWWWWWWW.

It has a prodrive exhaust system, though how far this go's i have no idea, an induction system of unknown origin, a slightly annoying dumpvalve and a Razo Turbo timer, which seems to work well.

How can i tell if i have prodrive downpipes etc?

And what is the best induction kit to replace whatever this one is?

As soon as i get the nasty stickers off it i'll post sum pics.

Thanks all!!!

Hi all,

Got a few pics here for you. It's got crazy blueish tints on it aswell, not really my taste, looks fine at night but can look a bit poo during the day.

Lemme know what you think, there's a long way to go i know.

Thanks dude, yeah i was never a fan of anthracite look alloys, cos i always thought they looked like hubcaps from a distance lol, but i am growing fond of them now.

Stickers do look better in the flesh, but i need to get em off, know anywhere around southend?

Are you sure, you want to get rid of them,
They do look a bit plain, Maybe need some shadowing on them to calm it down a bit.

I'd much rather have a clean and more subtle looking motor. Besides i think too many undeserving cars have been wrongly over stickered, its lost it's appeal to me a bit.

I do like the sump guard though, bit different.

I'll give it a go this weekend, if i cant get them off i will actually cry.

Thanks for your suggestions though.

Love that colour!!!



Well if you are successful you can come and do mine lol

I'm gonna give em a go at the weekend, baz has given me some good advice too.

There are some on the tailgate i might leave on, but the side ones have got to go.

Been looking under the bonnet today. I can't identify the induction kit, but the dumpvalve seems to be a bailey.
