Hi guys, im not new to the forum, I was here before with a yellow sport special. But now im back with this WRX. Its not in the best nick, a couple of parking dings here and there but hey, its twelve years old. Ive got a few plans for her, nothing major, just a change of wheels, a bit of paint where its needed, and a couple of interior bits. Power output, ive been told, is 305bhp, so no need for anymore......ive got 3 kids so cant drive it that fast.
any comments welcome

 

Don't like bugs.............

But that has a something about it... nice car.

 

Yer I was thinking the same, front splitter maybe? or is that standard? either way I like it Good colour/wheel combo that

 

Very nice mate - those look like Rota alloys, one of the best out there for the scooby - I wouldn't change them

 

This.

 

That's how bugeye's should look. Very stylish.

 

Looks good that mate

 

Love this, wouldn't touch the looks

 

The only reason I want to change the wheels is because I don't feel like the car is mine until ive changed something. I bought it as it is now. It seems like everybody has rotas, and I don't like to follow the crowd too closely. So ill be going with some motorsport style wheels in gold

 

All I would do to that is colour code the front splitter & fit the STi bonnet scoop

 

Looks great just change the colour of the.wheel s!!

 

Very nice car mate! Looks very smart and I'm not a massive bug fan normally but yours looks good!

 

looks good as is

 

Not really an update but just thought id post a pic of mine and the wife's cars together

 

So a little update, ive swapped the rota's for some redlines, and basically de-sti'd the whole car except for the spoiler and sideskirts. I will be putting the straight wrx skirts on at some point once they've been painted. I know I said I don't like to follow the crowd, but I love these wheels, and I like the way the car looks now.

so here's how she looks now

 

Looks ok for a newage I suppose

 

Looking nice bud

 

It's nice but to be brutally honest I liked how it originally looked,that splitter and pink bits made it look mean...still a lovely car though

Tbh i wouldve kept the splitter had i not broke it in a car park 3 weeks after i got the car, but its not an sti so i didnt want all the pink bits on, but thanks for the comments

 

Aaah ok,I wasn't having a dig. Always nice to put your own stamp on a car

 

classic car

 

When the bugs were first release I thought they were ugly, but they have grown on me. This one with morette headlamps would be really nice. Looks good as it btw.

 

i dont like the bugs....... but id happily own this one, nicest bug ive saw

 

A step backwards imo - the splitter made the front end and I think the rotas are a nicer wheel... gold wheels don't look good on a silver car.

 

Seen this in Warminster nice car mate

 

Not trying to make it something its not and tastefully making it your own.

 

That's your opinion pal, fair enough. I think it looks cleaner this way, all the STI bits just made it look a bit OTT for my liking. Im not really one for the whole, "scene" stanced look.

 

+1 as nice as rotas are theres to many, and you want it to look like yours not the last owners.

 

I love the gold wheels on a silver Scooby!

 

So yesterday some new front discs and pads arrived, so I set about fitting them. I got some M-tec discs and mintex pads as I eventually want to upgrade to some brembos and as I don't have a spare £600ish, these would do for now. Its suprising I had any braking at all on the O/S, tbh im surprised they were allowed to pass the MOT at the end of april as the car has only done 2k since then. While I was at it, decided to give the calliper a bit of refresh, so cleaned all the crap off them and gave them a couple coats of gold.
anyways heres some pics





and all fitted and some paint
