Newbie saying hi
 

Hi all

I'm new to the forum so thought I would say hi. I have an 03 plate WRX which I have had for about a year now and am thoroughly enjoying the joys of Scoob ownership as its the best car I have ever owned by a country mile!!!

I have done a couple of styling modifications so far (colour coding side skirts and STI spoiler) but no performance mods as yet although will be starting on these soon funds permitting! Below are some pics before and after the updates.

I'm in Leighton Buzzard so will look forward to seeing some of you out and about be sure to give me a wave!
Gary

Hello and welcome mate.
Car looks better now IMO! I prefer the bigger spoilers...just get the big scoop now :)
Are planning to get springs/coilovers to drop it a bit?
Also for about £100 or so, you can get an HT Autos front splitter that I think makes a nice difference to the front.

Welcome to the club, I am also a newbie and agree car looks much better with the wing :thumb:

Hi mate... nice car!!

welcome, im from the leighton area too, no doubt i'll see you about, blob wrx, sti body kit and a few other bits an bobs! but u'll mainly recognise the no. plate... says subaru lol!

Welcome along mate:thumb: Looks nice and clean:cool:

Thanks for the welcome guys

I am planning to lower it, get a front splitter and some mud flaps however I need to get some tyres and am after an exhaust upgrade in prep for a remap. Unfortunately funds wont stretch to having everything done at once so I have to prioritise!

Hiya, welcome to the site :) Nice car - same as mine :D I've not done anything yet but lovin that spoiler :luvlove: Where did you get it from?

Very clean looking motor you have yourself there dude, welcome to the forum:thumb:

Hi, I'm pretty new here too, nice car, good camera angles on shots, shows the car's lines really well.

The spoiler is a genuine STI one from a breakers in Norwich (Imprezabreakers). Keep your eye on Ebay they come up every now and again or call round the breakers, either the one above or Jap Performance Parts in Surrey :-)

Thanks mate I'm a real David Bailey lol

Good nick your car. Instead of new tyres I would go for 18" wheels - look around for a wheels and tyres deal. The wrx looks quite puny from behind on its standard 17" wheels, particularly with a big spoiler on. Sti scoop would be worth it as well.

I was actually thinking about that however there is still a fair difference in cost of doing that - might have to call it an early Xmas present to myself as ideally I want some gunmetal coloured wheels which go well against the blue.

Exactly the same as mine good choice mine has 57500 miles on it now and still is as good as it was with 30k on the clock.
Make sure you service it well and find someone who won't rob you blind.
I like the big spoilers too but even for a replica its like £400 fitted which i'd rather use for tuning when I have the cash free.
For me its service time in a couple of months with tappets to do rear disks and a cracked fog light I think it will be steep!:mad:

Try Rare Rims, I would give them a call and say you were recommended from Scoobynet and is there any discount as you will big them up;) -there have been group buys from them in the past. I had a good deal from them on a set of Rota GRA's with Goodyear tyres a while back and found them helpful. http://www.rarerims.co.uk/

Cheers guys

I'll check out rare rims!

If your'e thinking of selling the wheels which are currently on the car I'm looking for a reasonably priced set of 17 or 18's to use for an alternative tyre set up.

all the best

Tim

Nice Clean Blobeye.......

nice car mate
