Default Newbie WRX

Hi all,
I am brand new to the forum, and even newer to owning a Impreza.
I thought i would post some pics of my new purchase. I bought it about a 2 weeks ago, but since then i have not drove it. It has been in to Subaru for a full major service (diff, and transmission included) and a cam belt. Then a new API excedy clutch and lightened fly wheel fitted. I have also had the side skirts re-sprayed silver. I should be picking it up tomorrow







Mods i can see are,
Apexi turbo timer
HKS Boost gauge
SARD dump value
front upper strut brace
front lower h brace
rear upper strut brace
3" Jasm stainless exhaust
Looks to have a after market steering wheel
Engine grounding kit
Tinted windows

The car has been in the country since December 2008.

I am very new to impreza and know very little about them, but i am a quick learner,
Preivous cars include a mr2 turbo and currently got a civic vti

Yeah, i am not a big fan of the lexus style lights.
I am not a massive fan of the gold wheels on this car, i will be looking for some others and keeping the gold ones for track days.......... maybe anyway! all early days!!

yep Lexus lights are ****
You have a V3 spoiler and splitter as well.
Jasma refers to the standard that Jap exhausts have to meet
and i thought my engine bay was dirty (although that maybe the quality of the photo)

Ah I had an MR2 turbo before my first impreza. I didn't think the difference in driving quality would be as much as it was, the scoob was a far nicer car to drive, and quicker (even the the scoob was slightly tuned).

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, whats a V3 spoiler and splitter? (i do know what a spoiler and a spiller are, i mean whats V3? i have never heard of it?)

I dont what brand the exhaust is then, i will have to have a better look when i finally get it back from the garage.

And yes the engine bay is pretty dirty, but some decent engine bay cleaner and elbow grease will fix that!!

thanks for all the comments guys
