Default My WRX Project

Just thought I would take the quiet time at work to post my WRX project over the last year

I bought the car in a bit of a state but it was cheap. Car needed a fair bit of work to bring it up to how it is today.

Car is now running 265bhp and 345lbs of torque with custom remap.

Car before




Car today

Very nice, you've done a great job and you have a great looking scoobie, what needed doing to it, did you have to have any paint work done as it's a pretty weak area on these cars.

When are you going to upgrade those shocking front brakes, they are bad enough on a std car, what ever pads are fitted.
