Default My first subaru

Been a long time coming but spotted this on a dealer forecourt on way home. looked at it on the fri, test drove on the sat and picked up mon lunch time!!! After considering gettin new civic type r or focus st i'm very glad i chose it. Every drive is like the first time!! Big smiles!! Had it a month now.

Simple things done so far, after a proper clean and polish

STI panel filter
DVD head unit and new speakers - the standard are worst i've ever heard!!
Forge re-circulating valve


Any other must do mods please let me know, car has prodrive pack on already. But other than below its standard.

Welcome mate. car's looking mint pretty near perfect, but mods I would do are some antracite 18s, not a fan of gold wheels myself,also de-tango and an STI splitter.

Personally I'd leave it as it is, Why throw money at it that you'll never get back when it is already a very smart looking and quick car.

First mod I did was a detango/black headlight respray.... totally changed the front end of the car.... Highly recommended and it won't cost you much....






Sadly it all went downhill after that..... I'm skint now
