NEWBIE, WHY ARE THESE CARS SUCH AS PAIN YET WE LOVE EM ??
Since buying the car I`ve had to change the **** chrome bk racing wheels some old bloke put on the car to the orig wrx wheel, had them powder coated and the 2 front ones cracked(so had to buy 2 more wheels and have them coated) I`ve also had to fit new front & rear drop links recently and while doing that notice the n/s/r shocker leaking so new shox needed at some point (not cheap). Then TODAY notice a lil squeaking noise come from the rear to find the brackets on the back box(stainles steel) have best part of come off !!!!!!
God dammmmmmm I love the car but why O why cant it just be good to me for at least a month with out needing some type of attention its worst then my kid,bird and dog put together aggggggg
BUT I STILL LOVE IT !!!!!
I MUST BE A FOOL.

I havnt even had chance to do any upgrades yet either, want it mapped big time. Had it a while now some got used to the speed.
Spoke to a bloke today at a place in Morley who looked exhaust and he said not to bother mapping it as I`ll have even more trouble and alot more cost implications if things do go wrong afterwards. I`m not sure if to bother now but having seen all ppl on here that have had it done by the ppl that KNOW what there doing I should be ok. SHOULDNT I ???

You need to see Andrew Carr, he does plenty of WYIOC members cars, have a look in their section on S'net.
I got mine back tonight and it's needing a tweek for the HUGE turbo that's on now.
Good luck with "Christine"...
LOL
