I bought my STi in September of 2004. In Top Gear maths that is as near as makes no difference to 7 years ago. 7 years of tinkering, wrenching, driving, cussing, and smiling. The time has come to move on though, and here are the photos from what should be my STi's final photo shoot, at least while under my ownership. I've done the VAST majority of the work myself. Basically everything but paint and tuning. I'll spare you all the list, but suffice to say, it is extensive. Thanks to Jason (Atomic80) for giving me some good pictures to remember this car.

 

And one bonus pic with my co-driver:


For anyone wondering, here's what lurks under the hood:


And here's what it looked like when I bought it way back when:



That one is from shortly after I bought it. The mods started pretty quickly and the car didn't have a cone filter or the strut bar when I bought it.

 

Nice photos! Thanks for sharing.
