First mod should be a proper set of Tyres and alignment. Mine had Falkens on it when I got it and they were crap. It also hadn't had alignment done in god knows how long.
Stuck Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's on, and had alignment just set to Subaru standard(was going to go with fast road settings, but wanted tyres to last as long as possible). The car was transformed! Amazing grip wet or dry, and the Goodyears were very predictable in the wet...you don't get that with a cheap tyre, they just tend to let go.

The WR1 blue Scoob is a sport mate - Sold it to my mate it goes next weekend
I bought it in October then found out last week i could insure a turbo so bought the turbo
Dont worry the car will have a JUN front lip an STI 6 spoiler next weekend
Yea i am going to get some good tyres. The tyres on teh car have done 300 miles and are still ****. They are Kuhmo's... I had them on my Focus an they were ok but then again my focus wasnt as violently fast haha

lol Blu Scoob - The rear lights are class :-)
Midnight runner. The thought has crossed my mind but im going to leave her silver
Bought new numberplates and a blue Intercooler silicon hose
Cleaned the engine bay with "gunk" then steam cleaned it. Took hours
Got under the car for the first time - Totally mint. NO rot or anything as i took the skirts off to check.. Seems like i got a bargain
Going to get the STI 6 spoiler this week an get my JUN front splitter on it aswell
Cheers for the comments - I LOVE IT still
Burned off a tank of fuel last night

Get some Meguairs APC & some Swissvax burshes to do the engine with - much better than gunk IMHO & doesn't smell either. P21s is another good de-greaser.

Lovely noise off it and you cant really hear it in the car so no droning.
