Nice pics but the link for your car doesn't work
I love the look of the GB270 (except for the rear waist spoiler). I was thinking of lowering and 18" wheels but will stay standard for the moment. The car is good as it is and I don't want to compromise. I want to be able to load it with people and luggage without the fear of scraping when exiting car parks etc. If I get bored in the future I will reconsider
A few more standard pics:





I would like to see one with Speedline Turinis in anthracite and prodrive springs!
Maybe we should start a thread for hawkeye wagons only

Finally ................after waiting 9 days for the DVLA to transfer my private reg I have finally collected my new sensible lifestyle wagon





Having gone from my 305 bhp bugeye it feels VERY different. Straight away I have noticed :-[list][*]Quieter ( even with the PPP which has a limited discrete but purposeful burble)[*]Creamy & Smooooooth power delivery but very linear and no kick in the back like before[*]Pick up in 1st gear can catch you out at junctions[*]Acceleration in any gear is immense and overtaking requires virtually no changing over gears ( 310 ft lbs torque)[*]Very easy to pile on the speed and exceed the limit in 4th & 5th[*]With the PPP :- 30-50 mph in 4th gear comes down from 5.0 to 4.0 seconds with 30-50 mph in 5th in 4.7 instead of 6.6 seconds[*]Ride is nicely damped & pliant ( inverted struts ) with more roll than before but waaaaay comfier over poor surfaces[*]The steering is much lighter and the car feels a lot more reponsive ( the 02 bugeyes had steering wheels like Corporation Buses !)[*]Throttle reponse is crisp[*]The acceleration is instant but the TD04 dies at about 5.5k

Love it though !

From what year model are these Sti wheels?
They look like 2005+ ones in which case they should be 114.3 PCD, how did they fit on the WRX?

Dave,
Nice looking car! Could you post some side pics of it on a ground level? I am looking for a set of wheels and the P-WRC1 wheels are among my list. Are they 17's or 18's?
Also what mudflaps are these?

They are indeed!

One more pic of a standard one

fpan,

those wheels are 18" i think the anthricite and aqua go quite well!( i had a white one with gold, and a blue one with silver previously) and the mudflaps were the cheapest nastiest ones the dealer had! i may change them to spats as they keep grinding the road on right hand corners!
i will post some current photos up later

regards

some updated ones i took earlier, i see you are from lund, my little brother stays in gothenburg, used to live in malmo. we had a lovely week up at the high coast last year for his wedding ,lovely country!!

i see yours has spats , do they offer much protection from mud/stones, and do you ever get them grinding out on hard cornering?









regards
dave

Interesting colour the aqua, it makes the car very underestimated and looks like the car belongs to a bigger category; it's nice to surprise people isn't it? I like the stealth look too.
I have only been here for 2 months now but I like it a lot. Scotland is beautiful too!
My splash guards are standard subaru items, they are OK but nowhere near as wide as the prodrive mudflaps (which I bought initially but they wouldn't fit as the wagon has a different wheel arch to the saloon). No, they don't touch even at hard cornering, they are pretty short but I prefer them now as they are discreet:

Few winter shots now the sun has returned to Norway.
Stock apart from Nokian Hakka winter tyres.
Back to Tunny Wells dealer in July for PPP and Prodrive springs.
