I am about to order a new 05 UK Impreza WRC.
Options I am choosing are Quickshift Gearchange, Prodrive rear box, either
STi Spoiler or a Prodrive one as fitted to the UK300. see

My dealer does a reasonable option of powder coated wheels in more or less
any colour you choose. I am thinking of a WRC Blue Car with a
black/graphite shade of alloy and blue mudflaps.
Has anyone got one similar and if so do you have any pictures?
Altenatively does anyone have an opinion of the spec.
Hi SteveO
I`m just receiving my new WRX here in Finland. I have order it without any
options from Subaru, but have ordered already a set of similar things you
mention from part suppliers not Subaru dealer. I would like to advice you,
for not spending too much money on those manufacturers options. Have a look
at
www.scoobynet.com and
www.scoobysport.com. Those have different options
that fit your car and you dont have to spend so much monet either.
I have ordered following set:
- Prodrive rear exhaust
- Downpipe from Scoobysport
- Uppipe from
www.amworks.com (you`ll find similar from Scooby)
- Intake I/C hose
- Middle sections exhaust
- Ecutek program and setting it up
- Dumpvalve
- Prodrive springs (25% stiffer - 40mm)
With these options you`ll get easily up to 280hp from flywheel. The
shortshifter is a different thing. I recommend KartBoy`s model that is
simple, cheap and easy to install. Spoilers can be found from many
locations. Take a look at ebay and there you`ll find a lot of different
models. I would recommend STI type 5 spoiler which is very nice. Pay
attention to the finishing, because the painwork is very difficult if not
done well.
For wheels I like myself gunmetal 18" inch 235/40/18. Subaru is difficult
car to buy wheels, please note that you will never even consider wheels
without the proper ET size which is 53 but even 49 - 55 ET can be applied.
This is very important!!
If you like to make changes to chassis, just buy Prodrive`s stiffer set of
springs that increases tension up tp 25%. I wouldn`t recommend STI springs,
because you need to change dumpers as well. I assure that those WRX Prodrive
springs are hard enough and will lowe you car appr. 40mm.
Hope this helps!
