Default Back in a Subaru...

After selling my Type R a year ago, I've had an Evo, Civic Type R and Audi S3 but nothing really ticked all the boxes.

I wanted something with nice creature comforts but still a nice driver.

So - I went from this:



To this MY05 STi:



Need to get a few bits done - ie service, front discs and a splitter. No other plans really. Will just enjoy it.

Cheers

JK

Cheers for the comments guys.

Wiley - I think it's just the lighting. Looks spot on in the flesh.

Yeah, sold it on just over a year ago to a boy from Glasgow. Didn't realise how happy I was with how it looked til it drove away!

Needed something a bit more modern and able to do longer journeys comfortably so this ticks the boxes.

A small update - had all my service bits done and brakes etc. Took it into Wallace for a check over and all was good. Produced 329/300 which isn't bad for PPP and only a different filter & exhaust I thought.

Since then I've fitted a RCM Team Ice exhaust - here's a wee vid of it at idle so you get the idea. Next up, a bit of paint for the rear bumper then fit my front lip and a set of winters then it'll be finished til next year......maybe.

Thought I could just put the link from my photobucket and it would work? Ah well, all I know is its loud. Probably on a par to the full titanium system I had fitted to my classic for a while.

Think I'm going to look for a full HKS system now - regret selling my old Ti-Tip one now, would've been perfect.

Kas - Sorry it took so long to leave feedback. It took me a while to figure it out.
