Got myself another scooby wrx wagon, need some parts
 
Just bought a 53 blobeye scooby wrx wagon, its all standard at the min but would like a decent exhaust, dump valve, and wondered what body modifications can be done without too much hassle, ie do the hawkeye rear lights fit straight in etc, any advise would be great as this is the 1st blobeye ive owned, had plenty of classics but fancy a change :-)

Don't mention dump valves on here, they'll be here shortly to slag you off, you wait and see.

One of the first things I did on my blobeye was to take the dump valve off .:)

ahh, naa its just standard wrx then, tbh i only took a car for mot, n got talking to my mate that owns garage n he told me hed bought a new impreza ppp on a 10 plate iirc, so asked him what he was doin with his old one & bobs ya teapot i ended up buying it for £2500 which i dont thinks bad at all, i know its been well maintained, oil n filter every 3000 miles etc etc and hasnt been abused, so was a dear mot :-)

As above but has climate control and heated seats and comes with ppp.
If u want a new exhaust u will need a remap aswell. So get other bit and bobs together first such as cosworth panal filter and new spark plugs Ngk pfr6b will hold 320 - 330 or pfr7b. Had it had a cam belt change?

When you say cosworth panel filter, wheres best place to get one from ? n plugs

its had belt done last year at around 65k, i know bloke whos had it has had it over 6 years n had only done 17k when he bought it

Your a very lucky man sounds like a very well looked after car. Don't do any body work to it as its a day to day motor which will get scratches on it. If you want wheels later look in the market place and there's all ways deals on. Mark at lateral should be able to get u the cosworth panel filter and plugs or try eBay. Good luck and enjoy
P.s u will need a re map

Give Scott at scoobyspares a shout, he's up your neck of the woods. He's always breaking newages, might have a few bov's.
