This model is the second generation version, launched in 2001 it offered the consumer a choice between the 2.0 litre and 2.5 litre engine and this would have been coupled with either the four speed auto or five speed manual gearbox and producing between 203 HP and 230 HP, which is quite impressive for a medium sized car. However, even within this version there upgrades and changes, so by the time that this car drove off the production line it would have been in fact the Subaru Impreza WRX version 2.4 or 2.5!

Plenty of work has been done on this car, and unlike many other modified cars the work is equal throughout the entire car, so what we see here is a car that has had the engine, body and interior all worked on to produce a serious car at the end. You only have to look at the engine bay to see the sort of work that has been done here, care and attention to detail has paid off for this import builder.

Now this car is finished, what have we got here! Well first up it is a clean job, finished in white with a smart black finish to the hood, underneath there is a seriously clean and shiny engine with Cobb, HKS,  Avo and NOS all featuring. As we glance down those nineteen inch Centerline wheels are very impressive and as this is a modified car we like to see some figures too, well this is car that now produces around 400 HP, how is that for performance!

Here are the details and features for this cool looking Subaru Impreza WRX;

So what we have here is a Subaru WRX Wagon, this would have been the car that transported kids, pets and groceries around in all sorts of weather and road conditions. But now this workhorse has been given a new lease of life as a pedigree Subaru WRX STi Wagon and it looks all the better for this transformation especially as at first glance most people would be none the wiser, the clues are there but only if you know what to look for.

The power unit here is the 2.0 litre option, which is a very versatile engine that can produce anything between 250 HP to over 350 HP depending on the set up and it has the proven six speed gear box too. However, power is not everything in the import builder business as looks have a major part to play, so the introduction of Voltex body kit with finishes touches such as the pink badge and other WRX insignia, complete the build.

As you around at this car, it is hard to believe that this was a plain family style car and despite what the paperwork may state, this is a Subaru WRX STi Wagon. Everything about the car is right; in fact, this particular version of the car is probably much better with more attention to detail being made, than any of those cars that rolled off the production line in Ōta, Gunma, Japan. This is the benefit of the import builder skills to make a true Subaru WRX STi Wagon from a Subaru WRX Wagon.

These are the details and features for this beautiful looking Subaru WRX Wagon;

With the car in production it took the world by storm and fast became the car of choice over other performance cars, and its unique engine sound could heard before you even caught sight of the car itself, Subaru had created a winner, not just in the FIA World Rally Championship but in the performance car market too.

By 2000, the Impreza STI was in need of a revamp and so the second generation was developed, it came with a choice of 2.0 litre or 2.5 litre engines producing up to 300 HP and a choice of a six speed manual or five speed semi automatic gearbox. There were some changes to the body with the main feature being the shape of the headlights; these took the form of bug eyes or with later models the tear drop eyes.

This modified version of the Subaru Impreza STI has taken the revamp a few steps further, with most of the work taking place on the exterior with plenty of carbon fibre body kit parts replacing the heavier original panels. This is actually a very good example of how to take a good production car and make it better, it takes time and cash but the end result is what you see here, a cool modified car.

These are the features and specs for the brilliant Subaru Impreza STI;

Engine Modification; -Cosworth Intake manifold -K & N typhoon intake -Perrin front mount intercooler -HKS blow off valve

Suspension; Tein adjustable coilovers

Wrinkle Red Cold Air Intake System Subaru Impreza

Product Description for the AEM Cold Air induction system;

AEM pioneered the Cold Air induction system for sport compact cars in 1994. A Cold Air intake system relocates the filter outside of the engine compartment to deliver the coolest air inlet temperatures possible. Cooler air carries more oxygen, which translates into a more intense explosion in the combustion chamber to create more horsepower and torque. However, that is only part of the power equation. Tuning the inlet pipe in length and diameter to match the engine’s resonance helps move more air to the cylinders (think of your engine as a big air pump), and this tuning allows us to deliver the maximum power gains throughout the entire RPM range.

This car is from 2002; it is the WRX model and so already has some interesting modifications added before it even left the factory. However, are these additions the modifications that a cool import builder would have chosen, more likely not! In this case the turbo, injectors, pipes and exhaust have all be upgraded to a take the car to a level where looks are appreciated. Yet it is performance that really shows just how cool a car is.

The inside of the car has been given an update too, but instead of ripping everything out and leaving the car completely bare inside with no carpets or trim to speak of, the interior has been given a modern makeover with the introduction of new seats, carpets, steering wheel and much more. This modification is really pushing the all of the buttons at once and that is a refreshing change.

Nevertheless, all of the above would be irrelevant if the car had no style, it has to look good otherwise, nobody is going to give it a second glance and that would be a disaster for the project. Luckily with the help of side skirts and other body modifications the silver Subaru Impreza WRX has the look, style and performance to match any other build, does it get any better than that, well there is always room for improvement if needed.

Here are some of the features and specs for this excellent modified Subaru Impreza WRX;

Performance wise was nothing in its class that could touch the Impreza, with a 2.0 litre or 2.5 litre power unit and the choice of either the six speed manual or five speed semi automatic gearboxes. This production model was giving up around 250 to 300 BHP; with a body more suited to a small family car, this meant only one thing power and speed, which in the wrong hands could be deadly.

But this is a modified version of the same, performance is far superior to that found in the original road car, but this is car designed and driven by builder that know what they are doing of and more importantly know how to handle such a powerful yet light car. There are no figures for this car, but you know that the power is increased and the handling is improved.

The work is of a high level, you only have to check under the hood to see that with almost every original being replaced and the use of space being put at a premium due the size of the engine compartment. This is another issue with the Impreza it is basically a small car with big car parts, this creates heat issues and ultimately will cause problems down line, it is still one of the best cars around on road or track today and this one is the perfect example.

This is a Subaru Impreza WRX STi the 2005 model, it has been taken by Cobb Tuning and given the full works. So for anyone who believed that the end is nigh for the Subaru Impreza WRX STi should take time out to think about that again as this could be the car that re-launches out love affair with the fantastic WRX STi.

If there is one thing that makes this car stand out, it has to be the sound, you can also hear the sound of Subaru even if you are unable to see the car right away and yet it is a sound that has fallen silent in most places. This is down to other car makers bringing out alternatives and on the track the Subaru had faded somewhat too and that is no good for business.

This is a second generation model; it came with a choice of the 2.0 litre or the 2.5 litre engine with either a six speed manual or five speed semi automatic gearbox. It used the Lancer Evo 8 engine, which had a power range from 271 HP to over 300 HP, a modified car, is quite capable of touching 350 HP with ease and this is what makes the Subaru Impreza WRX STi a fantastic and versatile machine.

What is nice about this Subaru is that fact that you can tell what it is without having to get right on top of it. so many builders over do the work and turn the car into something that barely resembles the original car, that is one thing that can really spoil a good build and therefore make all of that work worthless.

This is a second generation car, which came with a choice of 2.0 litre or 2.5 litre engine and choice of the six speed manual or five speed auto gearbox. Producing an output of around 270 HP that seems to offer enough power and more for this type of car.

This is car that is highly capable of surprising the average man in the street, especially as it comes with a handy 455 HP under the gas pedal, with that at your disposal looks mean nothing because all that anyone is going to see it something streaking down the road.

The factory version had two engine choices, 2.0 litre and a 2.5 litre producing a maximum of 316 HP. This is coupled with a six speed manual or a cool five speed semi automatic. As for the body style, these cars come in a four door sedan and four door estate.

This is very interesting car, not because it offers serious power, but mainly because of its low key look, it is unassuming and that is something that takes restraint, as it is all too easy to overdo the exterior with power bulges and spoilers.

HKS (3112-EX005) Carbon-Ti Exhaust-SUBARU-Impreza

Product Description of the Carbon-Ti Exhaust-SUBARU-Impreza WRX STI 2004 Turbo:

((does not clear vehicles w/ optional skid plate)) Built for the (04-06) Subaru STi… Inspired and designed from endurance and GT racing in Japan, HKS developed its Hi-Power Exhaust system for both turbocharged and naturally aspirated applications. HKS has incorporated this new race inspired offset muffler and piping design into many street applications, which offers a greater flow and higher-PRM power gains due to the less restrictive design. This is achieved by eliminating unnecessary bends for the straightest exhaust path. For turbocharged applications, the large and smooth exhaust flow allows greater exhaust velocity for better mid-range boost response and high-RPM power. Naturally, aspirated vehicles also benefit from greater exhaust flow capacity as engine tuning levels increase. Certain applications are available in a Silent Hi-Power version, which has an inner silencer built into the muffler. Like Drager Exhaust systems, Hi-Power Exhaust systems are made from SUS304 stainless steel muffler and tip assemblies. Depending on the application, Hi-Power muffler tips are 96mm, 115mm and 120mm in diameter, piping diameter ranges from 55mm to 95mm. Special Edition HKS Carbon Titanium Hi-Power Exhaust systems are exclusively available for certain popular applications. These exclusive versions of the Hi-Power Exhaust consist of a carbon fibre wrapped muffler shell, titanium tip, and polished SUS304 stainless steel piping.

Perrin Cold Air Intake System Subaru WRX STI 08+

Product Description of the Air Intake System Subaru WRX from Perrin:

Perrin Cold Air Intake System Subaru WRX STI 08+ Increase horsepower and style under your hood with a PERRIN Cold air intake system. This new 08 Intake was designed from the beginning to be a cold air intake. This provides much better more consistent HP and better drivability in all conditions. Perrin also found that the stock intake does get heat soaked and causes a loss in power due to the high temps the sensor sees. In designing, their research team found that the proper MAF alignment and plumbing size are crucial to maintain proper air fuel ratios and prevent nasty check engine lights and cause the car to run dangerously lean. While this is very true Perrin has found that the new 08 MAF sensor is much different that MAF sensors in the past. This new MAF sensor is much more sensitive and the intake does throw off the MAF curve resulting in the car running differently than normal With this said, it is very important to note that Perrin’s intake is OK to bolt onto a stock tuned ECU vehicle. It is NOT OK to bolt onto a car with a custom tuned ECU vehicle. Because the intake does change how the car runs on a tuned map, Perrin offers Specific PERRIN custom tuned maps for their intake. If you are already a customer of the PERRIN Custom tuned Maps, these will be provided for free if you purchased the intake. If you are not a customer of the PERRIN Map program, you can simply order one of their custom maps through their website. You will see consistent gains in horsepower, throttle response and fuel economy. Also available in a cold air version for those wishing to extract every last bit of power from an intake system. Each Intake System include colourful and powder coated aluminium and silicone tubing, a PERRIN Performance TM foam air filter, MAF sensor housing and mounting hardware. As we have stated before, the 08 WRX and STI PERRIN Intake systems do change the Air flow readings at the MAF sensor slightly
