Default My first scooby! 96 WRX V-Ltd

Hi all, been reading on the forum for a while now. Cleaned the car at the weekend so i thought it was about time i started posting.

This is my first Subaru, owned it a few weeks and loving it so far! Shes a 1996 WRX V-ltd.







Ive got a few plans for her such as new wheels, but it needs a cambelt change and a new radiator first!

Thanks for all the kind comments!

Done a few bits over the weekend. Got rid of the horrible aluminium dials and dodgy gearknob and replaced them with a white dial kit and STi duracon gearknob.



Also ditched the Magnex back box for a TSL Motorsport Group N!

Before...


After...


Changing the radiator this week ahead of a trip to Powerstation on Friday for a Rolling Road checkup!

It's not an RA buddy and no classic came with 18's (except the option on a P1).


OP, stunning car mate. My favorite colour on a pre facelift by far, the changes have improved it too. The only other thing I'd do is put a normal sized long plate on the back, other than that its perfect.

Thanks for the comments!

Took the car to Powerstation on Friday to iron out some boosting problems it was having. Much better now and it made 297bhp / 272 lbf.ft on the dyno.



Also picked up some carbon mirrors and changed the wipers back to normal ones.





Tried taking some arty pics on the way home lol.




On the look out for some speedlines next, but i think ill just be sticking with 17's, will see what comes up!
