Default My 04 wrx

Hi guys and girls, my name is Matt, I'm not new on here, but have just got back in an Ipreza after a few years away on the vw scene, where i built both of these...











this is what I have



The rear stickers have come off, I've tidied up the front number plate and the rear one too,


I have loads of things already going on, I've bought original sti8 rear spoiler and skirts, coilovers, and have already removed the exhaust, and now have an afterburner vortex on, oh and the wheels are coming off tomorrow I hope,

Got some coilovers on order, camber bolts, I'm going for this look, please don't flame me!

I'm just a bit worried about running it without the cat, so I may put it back in tomorrow, I've got the 8.75 witdh wheels too, eibach camber bolts, and have hsd coilovers on order, just looking at the HTA front lip and rear diffuser too

I quite like your target look except for the exhaust - looks too 'hot rod'

I'm a little concerned for my fitting kit, wheels were from revolution, hope the kit is in one of the boxes, it's certainly not in the one I've opened!!

Who can I speak to about getting the specs for a fast road setup, as I have all the equipment to do the work, we have a hunter 4 wheel alignment machine here, which with this and other machines I have been using now for over 10 years! So setting up is fine with me!
