My first Impreza - Red WRX
 
Well here she is, always wanted a quicker car and now were living closer to family I thought why not. So I sold my Touran and bought this. 2004 WRX, big cone filter, 3" cat back with big tip and a remap. I've got lots of plans for her including:
STi/Decat uppipe
STi Top mount and intercooler spray
Prodrive backbox and 2.5" centre pipe
Cobb style heat shield

STi spoiler
Front splitter
Rear diffuser
Red mud flaps
STi scoop
Carbon mirror caps
White alloys (not sure which yet)

Thinks that's all of my list .... for now

Got her home and gave her, her first wash. Wash, de-bug, de-tar, rinse, clay and another wash.

Cheers mate, yeah I do to. It looks really good in the pics but is covered in swirls. Needs a damn good machine polish.

Jayjay100 30 July 2014 05:07 PM

That's nice & you say it's your 1st Subaru . Good looking car mate. What's the BHP if you don't mind me asking .

Yeah 1st one mate, cheers. Id say about 260/270bhp mate, bought it from a dealer (who claimed 300bhp, no chance lol). He's chasing the previous owner for the print out and full spec.

AndyBaker 30 July 2014 06:25 PM

That's nice mate, like that a lot :). Don't see too many red scoobs about. Andy

Matt23 30 July 2014 06:29 PM

That looks really smart mate, I've always liked red scoobs.

angel1368 30 July 2014 07:07 PM

love the red mate very nice, exhaust looks big for a prodrive but maybe its just the way the pics are took

JA1987 30 July 2014 07:19 PM

The Trooper 1815 - Ive sent you a PM mate ;-)

JayJay100 - Havent polished or waxed it yet mate. This is what I did.
- Rinsed
- washed with lambswool mitt and Auto Glym bodywork shampoo
- Tardis and Auto Glym insect remover
- Rinsed
- Meguiars clay kit
- Then washed again with lambs wool mitt and auto glym bodywork shampoo
- Dried with microfibre towel

Angel1368 - The exhaust on it at the minute is a japspeed (i think) my plans are to get a prodrive for it though.

Everyone else, thank you for the positive feedback. I love the fact that you dont see many red ones about.

Jayjay100 30 July 2014 07:25 PM

U did a grate job of it. I bring mine round tomorrow lol.

Haha, bring it round mate. I enjoy washing cars, I need to learn how to machine polish etc as the paintwork on mine has loads of swirls.

Tony Harrington 30 July 2014 07:39 PM

One proud owner hey!

Looks like a nice example, very clean with subtle mods.

JA1987 30 July 2014 08:06 PM

kobi86 31 July 2014 03:48 AM

red is cool but I really like blue

JA1987 10 August 2014 10:05 AM

Been gathering a few bits for the wrx, standard 2.5" centre section

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...psxyjmli5k.jpg

STi catless uppipe, the question is do I get the heatshield re tack welded on or wrap it?

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...pspqpjorzr.jpg

And an STi downpipe with 2nd cat decat pipe for the grand sum of £10.50

Maz 10 August 2014 10:15 AM

Nice example. :thumb:
Excuse the mushy sentimentality but it makes me smile seeing threads like this. Where someone buys their first Scooby and is over the moon with it. Spending hours cleaning it and £s in mods. Like I did when I first bought mine. :D

The swirls on the paintwork were really annoying me as from 6ft away the paintwork looked good but any closer and there were just swirls everywhere. So I took her to Shane at High Definition Detail in Barnsley. After a good 10hrs of work she looked like this;
