Default Bye old blue, hi new wagon

so i was recently involved in a car accident where the only victim happened to be my car it was my first subaru/turbo car/awd...etc. well to say the least i didnt get to enjoy the car in the short time i owned it, spent more time on maintenance then it did on the road, and to be honest the only thing that could fill its shoes was another scoob. Luckily, insurance check covered more than i had expected and let me find this lovely new to me wagon

this car is an absolute blast to drive, and looks great with the old rims from the wreck. has some pretty decent mods but nothing too over the top. loving this as my DD.
Current Mod List:
vf39 w/ grimspeed bracket
perrin turbo inlet
tial ewg (unsure of mm)
tomei EQL headers
fujibitsu intake
blitz nur spec TBE
unsure of injector size but i havent hit fuel cut yet
hks ssqv bov.

this is all what i have found visually, looking to get the car tuned beyond what it currently has, but im more or less interested in knowing my numbers rather than adding more hp.
(anyone have a rough idea on HP? im making 22psi at full boost and tapers to 17 by redline)
Heres to what is hopefully a nice long run with this new wagon

Good luck finding him,

Curious as to what happened to your old car though, that damage is peculiar looking

A school bus stopped behind a garbage truck, and since they can't legally pass, traffic stopped. There was one car in front of me, myself, a Honda crv behind me and then the suburban that hit us At 45. I got sandwiched, and they called it totaled.

looks like you could have salvaged your Hellatones....sweet looking wagon, they rock. You're going to love the extra space, functionality, and sleeper status. A rear upper stress bar makes a big difference in tightening up the back end, if it's not on already.
What suspension is on it?

I'm not sure the brand, but its definitely on coil overs. It has a front support and it does have hellas, they are just camo'd into the grill. Any tips on locating a manufacture name on the coils? Also forgot to add it has a huge tmic along with a grimspeed mbc.

I love how they look, but they are so useless. I'm talking like 1/2in open At best, definitely an aesthetic piece

Nice upgrade! I hope you have a tune with those mods either Accessport or open sourced. I have a wrb wagon with the same gold Prodrives. Definitely get a rear strut brace and Kartboy subframe lockdown bolts and bigger rear swaybar. Really tightens things up

^^ yea those center caps are super hard to find now. I have silver ones on my gold rims I have an alert set on eBay to let me know if the gold come up!!! Let me know if you find any!!!

Are you sure yours is 17x8.5? I think 17"s came in 7.5" with 53mm offset. Mine are 18x7.5 with a rare 46 offset. I wanted the 04 STI rims but they are pricey and I got a good deal on these and a similar look.

If I had a second Gen with a Nur Exhaust where I live in NY, cops wouldn't even ticket me, they'd just kill me lol.

Very nice wagon, sorry to hear about the old car though.

Wanna know the funny thing? I've driven this through my relatively small town for about a month and i haven't been stopped once, not for tint, exhaust, etc but in the wrb i got stopped for rolling a corner where I stayed in second and he gave me all sorts of **** but all i had was A turboXs axle back. The tone makes everything, the EQ headers really drop the overall loudness as long as i keep the Wastegate closed.

True, I just put the Kartboy bolts on a couple months ago too, great cheap upgrade that you can feel.

To check the brand of coilovers I'd get under there and really clean them up to see if a name is stamped on them. Next would be to take some pics and compare them to brands on line.
