Default MY 97 WRX RA

I have finally got round to posting some pictures of the RA. Here's the original advert -
https://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-444...ow-milage.html

It standard except the exhaust. The OE cats etc are all in place, still in KMs with the 112mph restrictor fitted. The two pots are still on but will be replaced by 4 pots soon. The previous two owners have been brilliant in their assistance to confirm provenance, performance and history. It came in as a Grade 4 B in late 2008 and as only covered 68,000kms from new,

I have added a few bits.

Strut brace.





And some Nightbreaker Bulbs.

Before.


After.


The LAMCO's.


The car is mint and very clean. Inside the rear arches.



Underneath, which is getting cleaned down then some Bilt Hamber clear wax underseal applied.




The inside.








Outside.
Black door handles going back on soon.



Engine, clean!




Fujisubo Ti Titanium Back box.



So, it needs a good clean as it's been in storage since Oct 13 waiting for me to collect.

Hope you like.

Great example fella, be spotless after a good clean!

Also think I'll invest in some Nightbreakers
