WRX low budget project
 

Evening all.

After a long hunt for a FD3S and being unsuccessful I finally decided to keep on to the Scoob.


Imported from England (wonder if the old owner reads these?)

So its a -94 WRX from Japan with a some basic parts.

She has seen some harsh times but I've been trying to keep good care of her.

Owned her for 3 years now and been keeping it on the road and slowly upgrading it when I could afford it.

Currently I'm in the Finnish Defence Forces so I can't afford to build it too much.

Just ordered HSD coilovers and a cambelt kit! Soon to arrive :luxhello:

Stay tuned for more! Please comment and give me some critique!

Thanks to M444GY from Ruisliptyres for the amazing wheel+tyre combo!

Looking for a boolid without holes and facelift bumper! Any ideas?

It looks to be a good example:thumb:for the parts try looking at the dedicated Subaru breaker sites.SJ.

Thanks! Trying to make it mint :luvlove:

The paint looks really shiny! Put the original lights on the front including the orange indicators and side repeaters.

Rota Boosts. :luxhello:

Got a set myself, really suit classics. :thumb:

Thanks for the kind words!

Some of the new parts arrived! Very exiting :norty:

Knock sensor and rear wheel bearing kit!

One of my rear bearings was a bit outdated so here is the upgrade:luxhello:

The coilovers and cambelt kit are on the way and should be here before the weekend.

What? I'm all for keeping things looking reasonably standard, but there's not a car on earth that looks good with orange lenses :D .....even those 70s Daytona things.

Ah, but it's all about originality.

C'mon Dramalama, be a purist! ;)

Pffft! :p

...Says me, who has de-tango'd his STi 5 and painted the wedges grey-silver. : cuckoo:

;)

Ill do the coilovers myself once the snow melts a bit!
