Not that I've seen locally in Okinawa. They have to be special ordered. Probably easier to get them from a retailer in the US if they can get them.

Not sure who is doing Prova stuff these days though in the States...

It's properly stored. In fact, I had a business trip to the US last year and took it otu of storage. Started up frist time and drove it long enough to know why I miss it so much.

It's bedded down again awaiting my reutrn.

You have my dream car. A well balenced street car that can compete on a track when needed. I dont know if it was listed above, but what kind of power is this putting down?


I want MY04 converted to a bugeye to look the same

Depending on what dyno you believe, it's making pretty much stock STi power, but with a 2.0, not a 2.5. On a Mustang dyno, it was 250hp to the wheels, and then on a different Mustang dyno, it made 200hp to the wheels.

This is on a very conservative tune at 91 Octane.

Each time I was told stock STi's make that same power on those 2 different dyno's. First time was on FIS's Mustang dyno in McKinney, TX, the second time was on MZM's Mustang dyno in Austin, TX.

Stock STi level power is good for what I like to do with it (canyon carving, some track duty, etc.), but when I return to the US for good, I'd like to bump up the power a bit. My only concern is that I really want to maintain the responsiveness I have now, it's just about perfect the way it is for my driving style. If I can keep that and make more power, I'm all for it.

Honestly, it's been so long since I got tuned (almost 4 years ago), that I can't remember what boost the car is currently running at.

I've had about 4 sets of Gold wheels over the years actually, but the ones it's currently on are called the Millenium, by Revolution Competition Wheels in the UK.

It's funny you brought the subject of wheels up, I just sent some wheels home today from Japan. Pics to follow

Thanks Frayz! I have some "stuff" in mind, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do it to this Subie, or a different one, hint hint.

As for the wheels, a pic is worth a thousand words. These won't replace the Revolution Milleniums, but add to it to change it up a little. The 18x8 Milleniums look best with a set of Tarmac Slicks wrapped tightly around them - but when I want to go to the track, or just simply not want to ride around on Tarmac Slicks, I want a lightweight 18x8.5 wheel. I do have the 18x8.5 Crimson Racing Sparco Cheeta NS-6's, but I'm not really feeling them against a White car. Those will go on yet another project when I return, so in the meantime I needed a second set of wheels for my WRX. This new pair of shoes fits the bill perfectly, as not everyone has them, and they are very light and strong, and still go with the WRC theme, and will work very well if I decide to take the car in a new direction (hint, hint).

Again, a pic is worth a thousand words, and I sealed them up before I realized this is the only two pics I got of them, he he he. What's crazy is the caps came in a SUBARU box!!! AWESOME!






Oh, and btw Rich, we can go on a drive anytime. You really missed out last Customs Night...Mike and I went and recreated our trip up north when my Evo was bone stock...it was a blast!
