05 Scooby roo Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 06 are chrome housings, 05 are black/charcoal. My 05 has chrome headlight housings and I have not changed them... I wish they were black. I actually like the stealth black with cleared corners better... Nice job with the build and looks good. As soon as I get mine back from AZP (motor rebuild) and EFI (tune), I will post pics and dyno sheet... I hit 320 awhp before the motor build so I am hoping to hit 380+ awhp this go around.

Honestly not 100% sure on the headlights, I like mine with the chrome. I think they go with the swp a bit better. But thats today, who knows a few months down the road ill be looking for a set of black ones. Im always going back and forth... Thanks, its been close to 3 months of getting the little details all worked out but I am more than happy with where im at right now. 320whp is plenty for my DD, just enough to have some fun everyday haha just wish I had a dyno video. Have any links to your build?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05 Scooby roo Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I dont have any links to my motor build. I wish I did. It all started out because I was burning oil (qt every 1k miles). I had a compression test done by my local mechanic and was told all was good and it was the turbo. I changed the turbo to a BNR 18g. I did 740cc deachworks injectors, matching fuel pump, AEM cold air intake, perrin EBCS, IP&T filtered oil supply line, CNT catless downpipe, IPR top mount, cobb accessport and an EFI tune on 93 octane. On the dyno, the turbo blew on the first pull! The installer said it was a bad turbo whole the turbo company said it was bad OCV's (which I had checked and they are fine). I took the advice of EFI and went with a Blousch 380XT turbo (which FYI an IPR top bount doesnt fit on). Being my top mount didnt fit, I went with a FMIC. Took car back to have it dynoed and all went well. Dynoed out at 319 whp. After 2 weeks I started to burn more oil. About a qt every 400 miles. I brought car back to EFI. They did a compression test and 2 of the 4 cylinders were under 100psi = shot!! So now the new motor build has Wiesco forged Pistons, Rods, Supertech Valves, ARP Head Studs, ACL Bearings, New Gaskets, Honing of the Cylinder walls, 3" AVO turbo inlet, sti oil pump and oil cooler, ACT HD clutch and single mass flywheel, KSTech 73mm intake and heat shield, new group n motor & trans mounts, FMS catback and hopefully perrin 25mm/22mm perrin front/rear sway bars and end links. I dont think I missed anything. I have to go back and get a retune in a week or two. Hoping to hit 380 whp. As soon as I get it back, I will take pics of everything.

dspurgin22 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thanks, yeah wasn't exactly the most cost effective route lets just say that, but in the end I was quoted for 9 with all the parts and labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.C.D. Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 So how much does one pay for some 2004 BBS STI's that are a "steal"? I ask cause I can't find a steal for the life of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dspurgin22 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 So how much does one pay for some 2004 BBS STI's that are a "steal"? I ask cause I can't find a steal for the life of me.I picked mine up, with brand new Continental DWS's on them, for 750. The tires alone are about 130 each. So Id say that paying only about 200-250 for just the rims is a steal. Or was in my case at least. I mean Ive seen posts with the rims alone going for that much, let alone with tires. Just got lucky, I had been looking for a set for almost 2 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dspurgin22 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Just had some new LCA bushings put in the other day and the difference in ride feel and control is unreal. I highly recommend the Super Pro kit. Not a big difference in road noise at all, which was a major concern. Our LGT's are prone to this apparently along with the 08 Impreza's and up... Dale at Boxer4Racing did the install over here in North Carolina, always great service from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dspurgin22 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 ...and she is down again. An injector failed in the #2 cylinder and had Cobb look the entire car over unveiling a bunch of other little things that need to be taken care of. I will be soon adding to the mod list: AccessPort and tune Perrin Turbo Inlet ID Top Feed Conversion Kit Cobb 3 Port EBCS NGK IX Spark Plugs GFB BOV Tein Basis Coilovers Group N Top Hats Cobb SF Intake and Box Along with some minor changes on the exterior... Hopefully get some pictures up later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
