Hi guys!

The car - 2005 WRX SL wagon! so heated seats and sunroof basically!

I thought i would make a project thread for my 'Practical' wagon! I've had the her about 4 months now but she currently off the road as I'm still using my Mountuned Fiesta ST! and it given me time to do a couple of things without rushing!

This is how she looked when i first got her! she was in need of some TLC!







Engine spec -

pipercorss panel fliter
sports cat & full stainless
Remapped with RR print out (278BHP)

Handling -

Ebach springs
whiteline drop links
whiteline rear anti roll bar
Braided break lines
Pagid Pads
Front and rear strut bar
and race spec fluid

after a couple of days cleaning and fitting parts this is how she currently looks! all I've done is fitted some new wheels (3SDM 0.01) a bit of a tidy under the bonnet and the odd bit of paint and silicone here and there!







I'm happy with how shes looking i just need to get some coilovers then that will be the main things done! however i do have lots more planned so keep on eye on this thread

 

Nice! Wheels/tyres are a bit wide/low profile to call it practical, but I like them anyway.

What are the replacement bolts/nuts in the engine bay? Mine looks like yours did before...

 

Thats some offset. Always nice to see another Wagon on the forum though!

 

I think the offset looks more in the photos, once I've got coilover i will look alot better.

 

The tyres came on the wheels, i quite like them, but again once ive got the coilovers it will set the car off =)

yeah i cant stand rusty bolts.. its such a cheap and easy thing to do! they are just counter sunk bolt with 'Kode' washers. Pretty sure you can pick them on eBay pretty cheap. on my last scoob i just used stainless and it looked fine if you don't want the washers.

 

Nice wagon, I've been looking at the same wheels but the silver version, what size are your wheels? I've been looking at the 18x9.5 et35

 

Hello Peskett, First of all - thanks!!

My wheels are 18x8.5 et35 and they fit perfectly! once I've got round to fitting my coilovers i will uploads some more photos! HOPEFULLY this weekend if i don't get called away.

 

The 9.5" should work ok for mines then as fitting saloon rear quarters to my wagon

 

I think "practicality" may suffer if you go the coil-over route.

 

Hello, I'm also working on a wagon project, although I'm mainly doing repairs and maintenance. I like you silicone inlet hose. As I'm lazy any chance you could drop me the details of where you got it? I've failed at finding one on ebay.

 

cool lookin wagon. any updates on the coil-overs?

 

nice car mate.
