2004 Impreza STi WR1 - no.131 - huzzy

Postby huzzy » Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:36 pm

Thought I would put my car into the garage section.

Well I picked the car up just over a month ago now and although it was pretty much in standard form apart from the front grill being powdercoated black I decided to add a few subtle mods:

First mod was a Zero Sports induction pipe which I bought from Audio Fusion on here.
Image

Next on my list was to replace the STI badge on the front grill as the previous one had gone walkies. While I was about it I decided to go pink!
Image

Mudflaps were also added and highly recommended they are too.
Image

A new battery was needed too as I only drive the car once on a Monday and again on a Friday it was always dead. I know this has something to do with the Tracker so I forked out for a new one.
Image

Image

That's about all the subtle mods I have planned for the forseeable future although I do like the sound of Anti-Lag.........................

Just fitted a Green Group N panel filter and can say that it does make a notable difference.

Cleaned up under the bonnet by removing all the stuff attached to the underside of it and also fitted a resized number plate after seeing all the ones on show at the P1 do!

Looks alot cleaner now.

I was abit reluctant at first about getting one because of speed bumps but I went into a car park the other day and it was a one way so I couldn't get around them. It went over them fine. Finishes the car off I think. :o

Haven't pulled the fuse, I'll just have to remember not to put them on! I got the pink STI badge off eBay, £2 I think it was. I got the idea from Roy when we went to the Prodrive do, cheers Roy!

Well where do I start with what I've done this weekend. Went to the in-laws this weekend and he is abit of a car nut so we decided to get the overalls on and do a few bits and pieces.

First job was to get the car into the garage as he's got an inspection pit. Once in and underneath we took the exhaust off and fitted a Hayward & Scott, MY GOD IT's loud!

He then commenetd on the diff, there is a sensor that goes into the diff and it looks like it could be easily damaged when reversing so we decided to make a diff guard, the man really is a genius. Better than spending god knows how much from Prodrive for exactly the same thing. While he was making that I Waxoyl'ed underneath the car as it needed a bit of protection.

Next up was the engine, I commented to him how the only thing letting it down was a spot of rust on the header tank, no worries and 20 mins later that was all painted red, while he was there he decided to have a go at my Prodrive battery clamp, Prodrive is engraved on it so the engraved part was also painted red.

Next up is just the detango on the head lamps and I think the car is pretty much there.

I'll add a few pics this weekend.
