White 97 WRX STI just cleaned... (picture heavy'ish)

Shep_Cobain · 14 Aug 2011 at 18:10

Hey guys,

I got this classic scooby Thursday and so far i am absolutely loving it! I am a virgin to Subaru (Japanese even) cars so it is still a whole new experience to me!

Here are some pictures after using nearly £100 of Meguiars products on it! (not all in one go lol!)

Very nice

LiamC · 14 Aug 2011 at 18:54

I like it

Similar to my mates

jellybeard999 · 14 Aug 2011 at 19:20

Nice, but not sure the wheels do anything for it IMO; the gold doesn't suit the white car and they're a little small to me. Some nice silver/anthracite 17" multispokes would set it off nicely for me

ScoobyDoo69 · 14 Aug 2011 at 19:25

GT3 · 14 Aug 2011 at 19:38

Nice! V5/6 bumper and smaller rear wing would make it perfect though! Don't stick bigger wheels on it, the speedlines are awesome

Dreadi · 14 Aug 2011 at 19:52

First car I saw in pic was the polo and felt confused

Eliot · 14 Aug 2011 at 20:55

do like, but Why does the speedo go up to like 117?

Joshy · 14 Aug 2011 at 21:00

From the factory JDM cars are limited to 112MPH (or there abouts).

Eliot · 14 Aug 2011 at 21:05

Ahh I see, I bet that's like a sudden stop with the acceleration they must still be producing at that point

crinkleshoes · 14 Aug 2011 at 21:53

Like the wheels... similar to what I want for mine

paradigm · 14 Aug 2011 at 21:56

NEXEN tyres on a performance car?

crinkleshoes · 14 Aug 2011 at 21:58

lol! didn't notice that... get them boots replaced ASAP!

daveydave · 14 Aug 2011 at 21:59

Straighten that front plate man!

Lethal` · 14 Aug 2011 at 22:04

First pic reminded me of twoblacklines

Something I spotted too and different tyres makes on a 4WD car too. I'd be getting a matching set of tyres when funds allow.

Still looks a very clean car

[FnG]magnolia · 14 Aug 2011 at 22:27

Lovely. Do you have a decent alarm on it? They're astonishingly easy to steal

Are AVON ZZ3's any good?

Yes, there is a Thatcham Cat 1 - Hornet Alarm and Immobiliser fitted to it.

Dr. Pain · 15 Aug 2011 at 13:24

erm 112 mph top speed?!

Jeesus. So you'd have to change speedos if it was derestricted to see what speed you were doing, unless you carry a gps constantly.

Strange to think my track car (Rover Coupe Turbo) is quicker than a pedigree rally derivative.

I take it this ludicrous situation doesnt apply to the UK models, and they are free to roam around up to 150+ ?

Mediocre... Falken 452s, Toyo T1Rs, Hancook RS2s, Goodyear Eagle F1s... there's one Kuhmo that's not so bad, forget the model number.

If you want epic grip... Yokohama A008/A048/similar, Toyo R888... but their wear rate is much higher than the above.

The restriction can be easily removed...

Still... I would happilly put money on me winning around just about any track in a top-speed-limited scoob vs a Rover Coupe Turbo
