This looks sweet. Will all that power I would have thought the brakes and handling might want a few tweaks.

Yes, we certainly wouldn't recommend this setup on stock suspension/brakes. During the high speed mapping and testing at Bruntingthorpe we had enough power & torque to get the car sideways at 100mph

Stunning engine spec & figures Especially on 95 ron fuel. If the car was shipped from abroad is it not a Solberg edition rather than a WR1? (i know i'm being picky ) Whats the 22a stickers under the front indicator represent? or is it just a pun on the 22B tag? Take it the battery has been relocated to the boot? Think i would have got the chassis/ brakes sorted out before heading out with that power under my right foot All the same well done lads top job

Would love too, but I don't think our customer would be too impressed! Shame, I'm sure we could de-tune it though to make it a fair race

It will be located in a similar position to stock but just a little higher so as not to obstruct the intercooler too much.

Thanks Gee, Hmmm, the car owner refers to it as a WR1? I was under the impression the Solberg editions came with the radiator mesh and the STi 4 point adjustable dampers? Must admit I hadn't given it much thought to be honest. The 22a refers to the power output (554) in hexadecimal, it just so happens that the 22b is 555 Battery is in the boot yes. It helps a little with weight distribution and also allows space for water injection pumps/catch tanks etc. We run KW's & AP's on the shop cars, hopefully the customer will go this route. It really is a handful without.

That is very much appreciated Houndini It is sometimes a little difficult to post on forums in a commercial capacity without coming across as a "hard sell merchant" (especially when we have only just joined). I hope our postings don't come across that way as that is certainly not the case, we are proper Impreza fans - having been in business (and solely specializing in Subarus) since 1999. The new website is looking good and hopefully will be online within the next week, will be good to get some feedback from you chaps on it's design and content, and to point out the obligatory spelling mistakes lol. I've been updating and editing it all night hence the late night posting. We also have a couple of ongoing builds in the shop at the moment, both will spank the WR1 (apologies) one especially so We'll keep you updated

Tha headline figures are superb Scoobymania, especially on 95, but would there be any chance of you posting some dynosheets so we can have a look at the spread of torque. A boost V power graph would be nice as well!

I quite like those alloys. Why did you bother with changing the looks in fact ? You should just have done the works on getting power up and weight down.
