Default Poncha's MY06 STI

G'day guys n gals,

Thought I'd get around to a quick thread on my ride (finally managed to sneak in a quick photoshoot yesterday, with a nod to the aviation link ).

Previous ride was a lightly modded MY99 RX Impreza, which served me very well, and nurtured my love for all things Subaru.

Stepped into the pig 4 months ago, and haven't looked back since
Stock as a rock apart from a Turbosmart BOV, and drilled/slotted front rotors.
She's more than enough car for me for now, but after hitting a tuning arvo, that pesky modding-bug might have bitten me

Looking forward to a long and enjoyable relationship with the car.

Cheers,

Adrian
















Update, now with the following mods:

Norm Bulter TBE
Walbro fuel pump
Cosworth forged pistons and rings
Cosworth big end and main bearings
Cosworth head gaskets
STI gasket and seal kit
STI timing belt, and tensioner
STI water pump
ARP head stud kit
Platinum spark plugs
Clutch plate


With the Verso tune done it's making 252 BHP and 390NM ATW.

Very nice. There is no avoiding the mod bug no matter how hard you try. So what's your aviation connection?

Intake/exhaust/tune is def on the cards, for the next step for the car. Looking forward to the evolution of the car over time.
