Nice. But having done so much to it, is this really the car you wanted?
I really dont undertand peoples mind set of buying a car then making changes. Sure a head unit, or light protectors, a tow bar etc. But different wheels and body parts etc......
Then of course there is only having enough money to buy something that isnt a (e.g) nova then tarting (slowing it down) it up with the left over money.
But thats just a different mindset completeley alltogether.

Have you ever overclocked a pc ? Or upgraded bits on a bike ? Same difference ;) Its a hobby as much as anything..
I would have liked a Forester Sti but at the time that would have cost me another ten grand and I would have ended up modding it as well no doubt.
As it is Ive spent approx 5-6 grand on mind and its faster, handles better and stops better than the Sti so yes I am happy with it 8)

Totally wrong and spindly looking compared to the chunkiness of the car. Its not the first thing I think is worse than the original on that car. :lol: Your money. :P

I did prefer the other ones, they made it more STi -ish. Wheels are a very personal thing though. I do notice you have paid more attention to the weeds :thumbup:

they suit the car, but I personally dont like them, theyre very spindle especially with that middle fillet on the spokes.

One of the reasons I like them is they are similar to newage Impreza Sti at first glance but different enough if you have a close look :)
