A few pics of my new car
Had it nearly a month now, finally made the step up to a turbo after 2 trouble-free years with the 1.6 LX. Its been a fookin good first car 
The new one is an MY96 WRX STi2, only been in the country a couple of months and its come over with a few toys on it already...Cusco coilovers and Cusco front and rear strut braces, HKS SSQ BOV and an Apexi boost gauge (which is rather untidily screwed onto the dashboard...will be re-housed in the near future
A few subtle changes have already been made, namely getting rid of the godawful rear spoiler that was on it when I picked it up, and the chicken wire bonnet vents have been swapped back to the OEM jobbies too. Also whacked my old STi lights on before I sold the last car for good measure
So...when I picked her up:
And how she looks now:
Next on the list aesthetically will be adding a set of splashguards, respraying the bumpers and skirts, and getting hold of a nice set of 17" Rota Grids.
Any comments welcome!
James

Cheers Chrissy, long time no see matey
Yep after 4 weeks of ownership the smile is still stuck on my face! It disappears temporarily when I have to keep filling up but its back again as soon as I drive off the forecourt

Thanks for the comments everyone
Simon - believe it or not I actually sold that spoiler before I even had chance to get it on ebay, for cash too!
