Blob Wagon Knockhill
I bought a 2004 WRX Wagon 3 weeks ago (my first every Subaru), took it up to Knockhill so I could get a feel for the car. (John (SIDC) was taking pictures so I got a few;
Loving the car so far, great to have an AWD turbo car again (I used to have an Audi S2 4 years ago) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...147d78b57f.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b88f9c1b24.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...77157fd211.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...35a2c6bea0.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...3a33c2eba2.jpg |
Nice shots, good to see another wagon on track :luxhello:
Is it a standard wagon, any mods? When I first took mine on track, the first thing I wanted to change was the brakes...the standard setup soon ran out of puff. |
Thanks, PPP, stock brakes with new pads. I was not hard on the brakes (no late braking), and did very short sessions (stock brakes, no oil temp gauge, road tyres etc). I wanted to feel/see what the car did on the limit, it was wet at first and dried out so a perfect day to get a feel for the car.
Do you have a build thread for your wagon? |
No build thread - I didn't think I would do much to it at first, and can't bear to put it all down on paper now!
Mine is a PPP too, did suspension first (OEM setup was knocking, replaced with coilovers), then brakes (brembo all round off an STi), a few suspension bits like droplinks and ARB, strut braces etc, leather seats from an SL... and eventually did stage 1 power upgrades, running around 320 bhp now. There are a couple of really good wagon build threads, where I got most of the ideas, will dig out the links later. |

Best not to add up what you spend on cars....
How are you finding the VF35? Does it work well with the 5 speed ratios? Thanks for the links, will give me some reading. The night I picked up the car I was all set to buy VF35, injectors, intercooler, up pipe, down pipe, fuel pump etc (Subaru parts are so cheap!) but right now am quite enjoying it as is. |

Sounds good, just want to avoid something that can fall out of powerband at odd places, eg needing to downshift to first for a hairpin.

Looks like a great wagon! Good luck with it.

You are in the same boat as me, not long got my blobeye wrx wagon and just outside Stirling too. I am also a regular at Knockhill, although only spectating (season pass holder).
