My '04 JDM twin scroll ran 360/370. That was nice power for that car smile
I still miss mine sometimes, been gone nearly 9 years now, also running around 370/370 on the standard topmount.

It was previously owned by one of the better mappers and there was an interesting write up about the options they you might find of interest.

Nothing too exciting really.

Side lights bugged me as they were very organge, they didn't match the HIDs. So they were replaced with a whiter side lights.




There was a bad scuff on the lower plastic centre console, it was replaced with a much better used item.



Currently loving regular visits to the local BP station though biggrin.

I've new front discs to go on, but they aren't urgent.

The fog light switch is cheap and nasty maplin jobbie. I've an OE Subaru switch in the garage I will have to wire in.

Then I'll get it mapped, possibly as part of a downpipe with sports cat. Nothing that's going to stress the car too much.

Yup.
That's definitely the one. End in PVK with a rare STI splitter.

i sold it to a guy in London. I think he only kept it a year.

That's right, I flew down to London to pick it up.

I remember one of the pictures he sent me had a number plate ending HOL.

Great car, I still miss it as well.

Yup, The HOL plate goes on all my track/weekend cars.


Where did it end up when you sold it?

(Im hoping you have good news as my previous STI TypeR ended up being split for parts, and that STI had a few choice parts also).

Doesn't really matter as I lit it in the above photos smile.

They aren't legal to have in the car when active anyway.

The flare clip bracket is the perfect size for a small maglight.

Where is your rear foglights?

Did you put it in the rear light cluster?
