mmm i'm not sure either
I think if I saw a 06 STI without one it would look strange.
Would I put one on my 01 WRX? yes! if it was free.

Si, I got mucked around by 3 buyers who had agreed sale, and dealt with numerous timewasting tossers by text message.
The last guy decided, after agreeing sale, to buy a £4000 watch whilst away on holiday and couldnt then afford my scoob! what can you say?!

So, im keeping it and im doing a few bits hopefully over time. Im going to run it with just the full decat, induction kit and ecutec, that`ll do me for now, then go get my Evo next year

I dont even regret selling my bits tbh, im just happy to have a scoob thats running right now after having almost a year of problems and issues.

Are they not suppose to reduce wind noise over the larger rear spoiler?, (sure I read that some where).

Think they look pretty neat!.

Hi,can i just begin by saying i`m a newbie and this is my first post,so hello everyone!.
I think the roof vane looks quite cool...ive got the brochure here for the new sti,and it says;

"An aluminium roof vane draws more air to the rear spoiler to produce greater down force.Therefore the new package of AWD,DCCD and improved aerodynamics remain consistent with the sporting genes of Subaru"

Not sure if it does exactly what it says on the tin,or even if it makes much difference,but it looks quite good and i`d stick one on my scoob!

Is that a pair of your wifes panties i can see on that washing line?
If so, are they posh ones from marks and sparks or are they something a bit more raunchy from anne summers?
