Hey I'm pretty new here, had a Civic Type R before hand then I bought a diesel Civic and I think that was killing my soul. So I've recently purchased this with just 47k miles. Absolutely love it, although it's not exactly as frugal as my civic but still that noise just makes it worth it

A cat back Blitz Nur Spec exhaust and a Baileys BOV was fitted by the previous owner, and I'm pretty happy with them, although I reckon I'll prefer to have the HKS SQV BOV really, just got to find one now...

Not sure if I want to blow my money on Rota Grid Drifts in white just yet, or just spray the originals white.

A couple of things are on order like brake discs and pads and a service from Subaru for peace of mind (it's only been serviced 5k miles ago but I've never owned a trubo car so there is alot to learn)
Here's some pics to how she looks at the moment (mud flaps have been taken off now )

nice mate, i got back from afghan a couple months ago and purchased a WRX 300. absolutely love it, its currently running at 336 bhp and am taking it round the nurbergring in a couple weeks.

chris wheela

Haha, yeah she's new too

336bhp, nice! I wouldn't mind a few engine mods, I don't know, maybe just a remap will do...

Not my cuppa(as i've just wrote on CTRO) think it's the roof that i'm not feeling mate. Needs spacers on the back too

Car looks good fella.

Looks like she's fiddling with the engagement ring because she's non too pleased about the new love in your life

chris wheela

Haha, probably wasn't as she's now my ex lol

It's getting mixed reviews on the net, but everyone seems to love it in real life so maybe it just looks better in the flesh. Either way I love it

And I know white wheels can be a pain to clean but I was used to that with my old Civic EP3

Reckon the roof would look better in white to match the alloys, or vice versa. Anyone want to photoshop it?

Managed a very quick effort ! Like it either way personally

chris wheela

Cheers for confirming that looks pants lol. I think it would look good with Matt black wheels, although I'm very happy with the way it is I'm glad some people like it. itll be up for sale in the next few months. I may buy some spacers just so it fills out a bit... Are spacers safe to use nowadays? I always thought they put unneeded tension on the hub bolts? I'm no mechanic so correct me if I'm wrong?

mrmadcap

You are joking right?

If you want to de-value the car, paint the roof white, in fact if you want to save money use Dulux one-coat and put it on using a roller.

Then drive it through Halfords and stick all the nasty tat on it.

Sorry but i have a soft spot for the 300 because 6 years ago the Subaru dealer loaned me one for the day and i ended up buying my Wagon after the experience.

I did say 'vice versa' as well, as in the wheels would look better in black to match the roof, just looks a bit strange with both of them different colours. Wasn't saying that a white roof would look better than the black but matching would be best.
