Very little without losing your warranty. What about swapping the standard bugeyes for some Morettes or Prodrive twin lights?

I would get some performance driving lessons, unless you are a driving god.
Lots of money on performance mods means nothing if you can't use it

Oh yes it is Cliff.

Technically the 2003 model year STi Type UK it isn't a number at all, but if you are going to continue the system that officially died with the STi6, 2001MY (which we didn't get in the UK) is the 7, 2002MY is the 8, 2003MY is the 9 and 2004MY (WR1 etc.) is the 10.

I'm not being pedantic, I'm being accurate. Not my fault the rest of you can't get it right.

Subaru don't officially tag these cars with numbers anymore, so officially there's no such thing as an STi7, 8, or 9. However, the numbering system I used above is the one used by Prodrive, and that's good enough for me.

999 out of 1000 would call the STi8 a blobeye, but GreaseMonkey, let me re-word it for you

I believe he is talking about a blobeyed version of the STi.

Sorry boys, greasemonkey is right....

Square boot lock would be a 10..... unless the STi didn't exist in 2001MY.

That always winds Mike up, and he really throws his toys out about it.
If you ever want to really upset him, that's the way to do it

Sorry Mike
