Hi all, new member here
Hi all, names Marc but nickname Nozza, have finally managed to get the car of my dreams after nagging the wife for a few years, pick up a 2006 Blobeye STI this coming Friday, in black. Mods on it are a Parrot hands free kit and that is it, completely standard as how I wanted it! Has taken me a while to find a good one but hopefully it's a good one.
Would like to attend a few meets as I'm wanting a new exhaust and need a listen to other's but need something quiet as I do shift work and I don't want to annoy the neighbours at 3am. Cheers Noz |

it was registered in Feb 2006 so right before the march tax thing on the 2.5, I do like the blue but always loved the black so was happy to find it in the end, at a Subaru dealer in Essex. One owner from new, 67,000 miles on the clock, needs a bit of tidying up but am happy to do that myself. Even got Bridgestone Potenzas which I believe was the standard tyre on them, but if I'm wrong please let me know!

cheers Red Devil, I can't wait myself! Been 16 years in the making, have wanted a Subaru all that time, everytime I have gone to get one there's always been a spanner in the works (insurance, houses, kids etc) but now in a good position. I already am on first name terms with the lady in the local Shell garage so that's good!

thanks all, will need to ask a few questions but will post in the relevant sections when I get the car, mainly stereo and exhaust related. just need to get through the next 5 days and I'll be fine!

Howdy do and to SES.
Great colour BTW |
#26
|
|||
|
|||
well, I picked it up yesterday, and I haven't stopped smiling! It is terrifying quick for me, but it's a great car. I need a few things sorting, it needs new brakes, and the paintwork and exhaust need attention, but other then that I cannot see much wrong with it. I will get some pics up at some point, need to find somewhere to host them.

First night in new home lol, sorry I haven't posted many pics, death in the family overshadowed things, but glad to have the new car. |

Nice one mate, and in the best colour!!. Exhaust is easy to sort. Have a listen to a few and see what you like. Depends how loud you want to go really.

I need it to be real quiet really, as standard, I did get a quote for a new backbox alone from Subaru, £400, I laughed down the phone! Thinking of a custom system made, but I believe ones like Scorpion/Milltek/Magnex are fairly quiet?

hi mate i had a silver on the same as yours the blitz spec s is not to loud as its a track exhaust and need to conform to sound regs . your next buy should be some tein springs

Very nice indeed mate might be worth checking out Jap Performance Parts in Crawley, they might have something that suits your needs exhaust wise.

cheers all, I have noticed a slight whine in first gear, after talking to my neighbour who owns a JDM Blobeye running 500bhp, he believes the previous owner may have had fun in 1st and 2nd lol, it's only noticeable when I lean out of the window and no stereo on, but I will keep an eye on it if it gets louder or starts to howl or anything.

A bit of whine on the overrun in 1st/2nd isn't uncommon, mine's done it for the last 5 years and 45000 miles with no problems (and numerous trackdays in that time). Although mine is a 5spd. |

it's mainly on acceleration to be honest, it only does it in 1st, 2nd is quiet and 3-6 there is no noise at all. If it gets worse I do have a 3 month warranty, but will probably be told it's characteristics lol. It doesn't jump out of gear at all and all gears are easy to select. I'm a little worried because of the cost of a new box but hope it's nothing serious.
