6 months after returning to the Subaru community and my project car is starting to take shape.

It's a 1998 WRX, came into the country around September 2010, has the standard VF22 and I searched high and low for one in this condition.

Here is what it looked like in Feb 2012, when I bought it......








Today I went to see Mags at RTS and he sorted me some wheels, now I'm getting excited to have the car finished

I hope you like the progress so far......

Just standard shocks and lowering springs for now, I've got a bend strut on the drivers side rear, plus it's leaking, so it's a temporary fix for now

Yeah, certainly learning about the car as I go, I've also learnt I have a ton of salt still on the car from the snow in February!!!!

Cheers Gary

They are 18 x 8" ET42, might need a lip roll but well worth the effort IMO

Not sure what they are but they're coming off my mate Paulo's car (STi V2 555 being broken in the for sale section). They sit the car pretty perfect IMO

Thank you very much



I only have a Canon EOS 1000d, but I hope to upgrade to a 550d when I stop blowing my money on this car

zippy!

iTrader: (1)

i believe so mate its the rears where you need either the hubs or an adapter bracket (available from godspeed)

just to update this, I've now lowered the car, sits much nicer I feel, but will need a lip roll.
I also bought some splash guards, which I love the plan was to colour code them, but 'm now considering leaving the splitter and the splash guards black, what do you think?

I got the spats on my WRX saloon. There black and so are the side skirts and I would like to get them colour coded in 406 silver
