First Scoob, 96 WRX import
Well as the title says really, here is my new pride and joy. I had her just over a month and have loved every minute of it, even when she started to play up and throw the toys out the pram and spit coolant everywhere, on more than one ocassion!!! I feel it has brought us closer 
lol
It came as it is:
As I said its been a bit of a roller coaster ride but, on the way home it split the top rad hose. I was lucky enough to source one from a SN member and get it sorted the same day.
About two weeks later there was MORE pink blood dripping!! Whilst trying to find the leak I managed to snap the IC pipe and had to repair this!!
Car went to have its leak check sorted, it was the water hose that goes into the turbo due to a corroded clip!!
All was good for a little more than a week......Even more coolant coming out!!!
So I got the finger out and ordered some shiney silicone hoses (coolant 8pc kit) and sent it to ATM in Kelvedon. A few hours later I got a call to say it was all sorted, a new hose for the turbo and the new hoses where on woo hoo!!
Also whilst it was parked someone decided to not only snap my wind deflector in half but proceeded to throw the snapped bit away!!! So I went and removed the remaining deflectors and whilst at it the stickers from the front screen and boot
As some eagle eye people may have noticed whilst stickers were being removed one was put on, I saw it and just chuckled as I do everytime I look at it
lolIt came as it is:
- 17" Wheels.
- HKS mushroom filter.
- Dump valve.
- Exhaust, unsure of make/model but is rather shiney and round the whole way through
. - Seems to have been lowered.

Cheers for all the positive replys guys.
Not sure if it could handle a splitter as its quite low and a I dont want to fit one to find it keep dragging over every little lump an bump on the road.
White is def a good colour but it really dont stay clean for that long, looks like Im trying to wipe out the whole of the Essex bug population after every run out, no matter how long or short
