97 onwards WRX had the "sti" rear lights as standard

i prefer to call them the "97 onwards wrx rears"
but its not so catchy

Ive left it fairly standard engine wise, it just has an aftermarket filter on it that came from Japan and my girlfriend bought me a Forge Dump Valve and she put together with Mumsie dear for the exhaust (from Scoobyclinic).

If you look at the before and after pics in my other threads you can also see that ive V5'd it by upgrading the front end completely and adding a V5 STI spoiler.

Oh and it's a WRX.

Its awesome - youll definately feel like you're driving an older car tho, I came from a nice to drive 52 plate corsa, to MY98 and I could feel the difference - having said that its very nice to drive - I would honestly recommend having the first 1000 miles as a run in period, chances are its been stood for a while!! Probably get it serviced soon as ya can too - took mine to scoobyclinic for that cost about £600 as I recall but that was with cambelt change and a checkover of the car.

Where you gonna be tonihgt then? Might drive past and have a butchers!

I aint going to put my foot down for a while the noise will be enough for now, I love the scooby engin noise!!

Well he has had the cambelt changed this week for me as well as check over and oil change, so shouldnt need servicing should it?

How often do you service yours? for what cost?

I'll be at home, in brierly, you know the new estate up past grimethorpe? strata one?
