Default Few pics of my classic wrx.






Hi everybody! Bought this the back end of last year as a rolling project, needs a bit tidying up here and there and currently deciding what colour to powder coat the wheels.
Running a z4 ecu and putting out around 260bhp. Its my first scoob and i love it.
Hope you like!!!

Nice that, don't see too many classics in black.

Wheels I would stick with that colour. Think mid level spoiler and STI rear lights would set it off a treat

cheers fella.
I really like the classics in black, and as you say - you dont see many about.
The wheels are definitley changing colour though, these pics dont really show it well , but in the sun they have an almost purple tinge to them.
I was thinking maybe gloss black or dark bronze/gold possibly.
Getting married in a few weeks though , so i cant be seen to be spending any money on the car at the mo

The problem with changing the spoiler is that the boot will have several holes across the middle that would need filling in. Not easy or cheap to get looking right.

It'd be easier to change the boot lid, but try finding a decent one the right colour without the holes!

Thanks for the offer fella, but I've decided to stick with the multi spokes for the time being . The plan was to change to the wheels you have but these have grown on me , and the tyres are almost new.

As for the spoiler guys- I'm in 2 minds. From most angles I like it, but some times I think it's too big, along with the rather chunky front splitter!

The plan for the time being is to sort the wheels, then see how she sits. I might consider slightly lowing her, but I really like the way the car rides on standard suspension, it would simply be to make the stance a bit more aggressive if it is lowered.
