proect pics :-)
hi all, here are some pics of my 02 wrx project .
wheels are kei racing 19" they used to be black chrome , but painted them satin black . i then kurbed them to death !! so filled out the damage with some liquid metal and painted them again " for the last time
"
the old center caps were also chrome and a bit shabby , so i painted them to match , cleaned up the grub skrews and had sum carbon effect centers made

i polished the tmic and strut brace . the two mounting rings on the strut brace were corroded and rusting badly ! so fixed them up and painted wr blue

trust me mate , not my doing they were on it when i got the car along with loads of other tack bits including chrome lexus lights,strobe lights fukin everywhere ! dodgy subaru graphics down the sides , pink engine parts "badly painted" wheels were chrome ! and the dash and center console were blue !! 
i was put off by the tints and still might have them replaced ? but they arnt as obvious as the photo makes out . to be honest i forget i have them ! maybe if i have any money left after the re-build ill get rid

thanks mate
it definatly needs big brakes doesnt it ? im planning on hopefully getting a forged engine soon ? so the plan is to wait for the wrx gearbox to give up ! then sign him off the road again so i can save for the followig
sti 6spd
suitable clutch
big brakes
more capable turbo
front mount
cooling mods
fueling mods
to reliably run over 400 bhp
i am also definatly going to strip it down to bare bones to save as much weight as possible .
i know i get bored quick ! so the 350bhp my vf34 can handle will soon leave me un-satisfied !!

If you are going to strip it some light smoke tints would definitely be the best option, show off the stripped interior. I've stripped my classic, just got a drivers seat now! You do get some strange looks in traffic though!!
plans for a 400bhp build and supporting mods sound good mate, A big brake conversion and a set of rota grid drifts would really set it apart, bugs really do look the part with concave grids! keep us updated anyway mate
