Top Scoob 030, You Can't Spell "Stig" without "STI"
I realized last month that it has been a long time (005 to be exact!!) since we've had a round for the STI crowd so it's with great pleasure Top Scoob 030, You Can't Spell "Stig" without "STI" gets underway. This round is open to any and all Impreza STIs. Imprezas only, no swapped RS, WRXs, Foresters, or Legacies please. To be eligible your car must have been an STI model from the off. To make it interesting we are allowing UK and JDM entries which means we could have everything from a super mint '94 Mk I Type B Wagon to a 2011 bewinged metalflake bruiser.
So without delay, if you have an STI and think it worthy, read the rules below and get your entry in for Top Scoob 030, You Can't Spell "Stig" without "STI" !!! Quote:

Vehicle:2002 V7 STi Prodrive Edition... Black! |
Hi guys & gals of NASIOC.
Here's my UK 2002 Prodrive edition version 7 STi***8230; Yes, she's a genuine version 7 bugeye STi. Some of you may well have followed my build thread on here and seen the car right from its infancy. I've now owned this very car for the last 8 years after previously owning a 350bhp Ford Sapphire RS Cosworth. As a young boy growing up in the 80s and 90s id always wanted a Cosworth, it was my dream car and at the age of 19 I completed my apprenticeship with Ford Motor Co I finally treated myself to an ebony black Cosworth. I owned the cossie for 2 years. Of which I loved every minute. However I reached a point where I wanted a change, the cossie wasn't getting any younger and I wanted something with as much "bang for buck" as possible. I did my research and after being a huge rally fan decided I wanted an Impreza. Not just any Impreza, I wanted a bugeye STi, Prodrive edition. The Prodrive edition was a special edition in the UK limited to 1000 cars as I understand it. 900 in blue and 100 in black. It came with different styling inc front bumper, skirts and blue dash clocks etc. More importantly, it looked as close to S7 WRC cars I so drooled over on the rally stages. I finally tracked down a 3 year old, bone stock Prodrive edition with just 21k miles on the clock. She was a minter too***8230; lovely. The first 4 years of her life I slowly tuned the stock 2ltr up to approx 400bhp on a stock location FP green. I had taken her all over the UK to various racetracks and around Europe, including lots of trips to the Nurburgring nordschliefe and Germanys WRC event. Through the Subaru scene and club I belong to, I had become great friends with a local tuner and he helped me develop the car to the point I was at. We were very close and hatched a plan to build a 2.5ltr motor together and tune the car to approx 450bhp. In August 2008 I removed the stock engine and began collecting parts to build the car into something even more special. Shortly after our friendship collapsed and I was left with the car on my driveway with no engine, it had been sold and the cars body emblazoned with his company logos. I was sick of the car and gutted our friendship had collapsed, so I left it. She sat for over a year as I just couldn't stand the sight of her. I decided to go and do something completely different and went freestyle kiting for a year. The car got left completely untouched and unloved. All the while I stayed in touch with many other Subaru friends who tried so hard to help me rekindle the love for the car and continue the build on my own. Sometime in March 2010, something sparked and decided enough was enough and I had to rebuild the car into something special, continue my dream and go it alone. After all, it wasn't the cars fault***8230; Slowly, I continued to source and collect all the parts one by one, and piece by piece I began her rebuild. Only no longer was my target 450bhp, if i was going to do this, i was going to make a statement, Now i was looking for 550bhp. All the while I wanted to keep the car as a road car that I took to the track, not a stripped out ugly racer that i used on the road. But I would build the car with a level of finish that I would use RCM as my benchmark. RCM (Roger Clark Motorsport) are the pinacle of Subaru tuning here in the UK. They were/are the elite and i wanted to achieve a level of detial that comapred to the work they did. I wanted everything to look and feel OEM. As if this were a special edition that Subaru themselves might have built. I spent months and months, sourcing, designing, fabricating and powdercoating custom parts. Parts including my own design CNC combustion chambers, pinning my own block, building my own wiring harness, making my own fuel rails, oil cooler ram air box, wing insert and various other bespoke parts. I didnt turn a single spanner untill i was 100% ready to assemble the motor. Every fastener that i could use i swapped to stainless, ever part i could i powdercoated. I wanted this to be something to be proud of. 18 months later we fast forward to October of 2011. Now I finally had the car running and took her to be tuned by Simon Roe down at Surrey Rolling Road. I told Simon I wasn't interested in a horsepower figure as such, just map it so it's happy and safe and whatever It made it made. I stood next to the dyno like an expectant father waiting for my creation to be unleashed. Slowly and surely the numbers came up, pull after pull she got stronger and stronger pulling at the 4 straps holder her down. I walked away absolutely delighted, we capped the power and torque for longevity with figures of 573bhp and 520lbsft. Forgetting figures, the car drove beautifully. It had huge power and torque, the delivery was superb and I was finally behind the wheel of my own creation. All the late nights, early starts, blood sweat and tears were finally showing their worth. Remember this car has no sponsors and has been built by one guy on a driveway, no big garage, no vehicle lift no unlimited budget. Every single nut and bolt has been done by myself. Only the mapping and painted panels have been done by others. Now I'm enjoying the car for what it is and have a few more plans ahead, one of which being a rear custom rollcage and as we speak I'm redesigning my interior. If you would like to read about the car in full, please check out my build thread here. Here you will truly see the rollercoaster of a journey this car has taken me on. http://<b>http://forums.nasioc.com/f...?t=1467044</b> Until then, here's the current build spec and photos. Many thanks for reading; I would also like to thank various member of NASIOC for shipping me parts, helping me with ideas and decisions along the way. Big thanks to all of you over the years, but especially the following: Paulie : Man, where do I start? Your car has inspired me so much. To me it has and always will be king of the hill. Nothing will ever come close as to me its pure Impreza. No crazy wheels and bodykits. Just out and out pure rally inspired Impreza. I salute you man. Scby Rex: Thanks for all your help getting me parts man, parts that were tough to source her in the UK. You stepped up and helped me out no end. Thanks a heap man. Tino, DMoney, Boostjunkie and Wayno: These guys are pure inspiration to me, superb cars built with superb commitment and detail.

her goes nothing.
My name is Ivan. i'm 22 from jersey. As for the car, well its been a roller coaster ride in the almost 2 years that I had it. But lets start from the beginning. I had placed an order for a 2011 SWP sti hatch way back in august 2010. By December the car has still not been allocated and my then daily driver decided to take its last breath. I scavenged to find an STi I could pick up on the fly and ended up getting a great deal on the complete opposite car of what I originally wanted. Truth be told, i'm happy I got a WRB sedan. To me thats the exact car that comes into mind when you say the word Subaru. So lets start with what everyone always says when they buy one of these, "I won't mod the car". what a load of bull****. As soon as i broke the car in the mod bug bit. I can't say i have a modding style however. some people mod for aesthetics, others for sheer power; I'm probably in between. I like it all, and have a lot of respect for people who go all out on builds, but in the end this is my daily driver so for now i'm trying to not get too carried away. Like i said, I drive the car everyday. Take it on road trips and drives all over, track it, take it to shows, etc. rain, snow, any weather its gets driven and then i try to pamper the stuff subaru calls paint when i have time. I started modding with the generic stuff: short throw, wheels, AP, vinyl..etc. I eventually did the stuff everyone does...the stage 2 OTS stuff. The power and suspension mods are pretty similar to most others however. I don't have a built block or putt down some crazy horsepower. The car was tuned by Chris - RIP - at EFI logics. it put down 291hp/320 tq on their dyno. Eventually though i wanted to do things I don't see all the time. which is how it got to how it sits today. I wanted to shy away from black/bronze/white wheels or any other things you can see all over. I wanted to have a really meaty looking setup that could handle just as good as it looks. I ended up snagging a great deal on my all time favorite wheels, the XT7's, and I had them redone after last fall in a one off fluorescent yellow. I then wrapped them in some 275/35's to make sure it had enough meat. this is what i ended up with. However before I could finish the rest of the minor exterior bits, once i buttoned all my suspension and power mods all of its was for lack of a better word, destroyed. april 9th I was hit by a guy who blew a .3% BAC. he was a bit tipsy i'd say Being stuck in rental cars for over 3 months it really makes you realize what you have had. the STi is unlike any car, and the community truly is the best, hands down. Through owning this car i've made friends that I will have for the rest of my life. They helped me strip the car only to put everything back into it because insurance refused to total it out. I can't thank everyone who helped enough when all of this went down. Whether it's driving me to the body shop, helping me wrench for days, and just hearing me bitch because I was borderline depressed over this. The subaru community is truly one off. i got the car back finally this passed thursday after having it back a few weeks prior but having to send it back to the shop due to electrical problems. This is how she sits as of this passed thursday. I don't know what else to say. For everyone who read this, take the time to enjoy your cars, you never know when some ******* can take it all away.
