Hey Guys !

Maybe some of you remember me, I´m a 22year old Guy from germany.
Last year i bought the Nissan Skyline R33 from the member Chris (via exotic importz). After driven it for some months we had to see that the car was horrible and that the company tried to fool me. That was pretty bad Sad
They deleted the enginecheck lamp, airbaglamp, catalysatorlamp etc. the car had a huge, irreparable dent unter the car at a mainpart of the chassi and some more thinks. So I decieded to give it away and was lookin for a new car.

After some Months of lookin all over the world, I decieded to buy a Impreza WRX STI Type R from 98. I bought it via Topspec Imports and the car was owned by a Woman in England (maybe anyone knows her ?)

The car was repainted in 2009, became a motorrevision 2010 and since it came to germany we did a full "Unterbodenversieglung/Hohlraumversieglung" (sorry I look for the english word hehe).

It´s mainly stock, just some Rims and a Forge Blowoff Valve.
So maybe someone could help me with the car or someone has some nice parts around ? (or good shops where to get them?) as it is pretty hard to get something in germany.

Here the pics from England (don´t have new ones atm, as the car is still in the garage, waiting to get legalized)

the exterior should remain stock/STI, i only think about gettin the V5/6 Rearspoiler (the higher one than my stock V4 one).

But i´m lookin for some exhaust parts, air induction, maybe a new radio, some minor things etc.

The speedlimit defencer will be installed this week, the car also now got the frontfoglightcovers from STi with the STi white/pink logo on it. In my opition that looks a lot sportier than the foglights, was the first thing i wanted to change when I saw the pics of the car hehe.

And it looks like the car got the prodrive suspension instead of the original Sti one. The cars last use in UK was the tunnelrun in London I think ?!

Maybe someone got some nice shops or parts flyin around ?

I would like to come to the JAE, but that will be hard. I´m a law-student at an University here in germany, so i´m short on money. But will try
