Default Newbie with a bug

Hey guys,

The name is Stefan and i'm from Australia. I thought i'd pop buy to see what you guys are up to with your scoobies

Anyway, here's the deal with my car. It's a 2002 "bug eye" wrx. it's been a very slow project (as it's still my daily drive) but it's coming together.

List of goodies are,

- full lip kit
- oversize bonnet scoop (04 sti style)
- 3" TBE to a 4" Varex cannon (Varex is a system that allows you to alter the sound of the exhaust note - not sure if it's available for you guys)
- Injen short ram intake
- GReddy Profec B 2 EBC
- Walbro GSS342 fuel pump
- Verso tune (running 1bar [14.5/15psi] making 204.4whp on a run in tune. will be advancing with this one that's for sure)
- Koya RG Tek wheels (18x8.5 +45)
- K Sport adjustable coilovers
- Ceika Performance 6pot big brake kit w/ 330mmx32mm slotted rotors (front)
- 2x Bride GIAS 2 Low Max seats (real not fake! lol)
- Centre dash gauge pod (volt, oil press & boost - just for looks lol)

I have a few things planned but i'm taking it very slowly at the moment as money is always the issue :/

I'll quit the yappin and show you what it's all about lol








i don't have pics with the updated brakes or seats but i'll work on some asap

hope you enjoy and i'll update my pics when i can

Thanks guys!
Nic k: is your motor the 207? I wanna chase 300 out of nine but it's the 205 which apparently isn't strong enough

Sunnyjonea003: I have no idea what those skirts are. I bought the car with them already fitted. I've been told by an ex Subaru mechanic that they were a factory option. I think if you we're to have a hunt on eBay you may find some, or something similar.

Nice bug!

I'm hoping to get another scooby when I move to Oz later in the year

How much did you pay for that if you don't mind me asking?

Nice! Have you considered about changing your orange side markers for some darker ones? Would look kickass in my opinion
