Hi guys , seein as iv got such a great response from my photos thought I'd post up a project thread up . So hope you enjoy .

Just a bit of back ground , I had my self a beaut little fiesta 1.25 for my first car .




Any way I thought as I go too more jap shows I'd get my self a jap car I'd thought about it a while but I'd remembered seen a nice white Scooby a couple weeks before and I had of days off I was playing forza and loved how the Scooby looked after that point that was it unwanted that nice white Scooby . I called up my buddy and told him within a hour of putting the phone down I was at the show room crunching numbers . The subaru was bit more a month too pay for but was cheaper too insure so it all working out well . A month later I'd signed it and it was all mine .

The day I picked her up .




Ok so I'm not exactly a fan of chrome so the wheels changed colour .




The rest of the chrome had too go so decided the boot lid handle and grill had too be black too so that was next




I decided the scoob was lacking its growl so I decided a exhaust needed to be bought.


Some eagle eye enthusiast will notice that the last pic is the front bumper il get to that in a few posts .
I had a trip out in the snow up to hart side pass was a lot of fun . But I went in to the carpark and bang hit a bolder that was under the snow and knackerd me bumper .


Any way that wasn't it for the bad news cos the week after i crashed it in too a curb in black ice and buggered the drivers side front every thing lol .






Oh yea I hit it hard . So after some hard money spent I got it all fixed .

 

So the parts I had too buy were a set of wheels , wishbone , drop link , hub and front bumper .
So got it all together and got the new bumper the same colour


New wheels bk 121s


So did all the work my self tracked it too and when I had taken it in too be checked it was pretty much spot on witch made my day . At this point it was like this for a few month



I had a mate selling a filter and tbh I had wanted 1 for a while .


After a few month I thought it just needed lowering but couldn't afford it until I lost my job for couple month but won my appeal and got 3 month wages handed back to me soo boom

Btw the bolts on the underside and like cheese so if your of a nervous disposition look away now

It was worth it tho the results are wow



And that's about where it stayed .

 

All iv done recently is max out the coil overs and remove stickers off the windows . Have added couple different photos of how she stands right now .

Thanks guys for looking feed back pleaseeeee

 

Got some sound system equipment today too add too the rest that iv got :0)

 

Well iv got my rack back and looks spot on , just need too fit it now . Also have a pic of my sub I have in for the car also .

 

So after doin some work for a mate on his car I thought I'd freshen up my grille . Was satin black before with a chrome outer badge .

Opinions ???

 

Wow , people on here aint really interested unless I drop a v8 or skyline engine in it .

 

You've got it looking good mate, I really like it

 

Cheers , finally some 1 spoke up lol . Canni quiet like init ?

 

i have the exact same car, fully stock.. will keep up with your thread to see what mod you will do to it. this car is way underpowered

anyway what exhaust is that?

 

Good work fella... Not a fan of the wheels, they look small, what size are they?


Now stop ***** footing around and drop a V8 or Skyline engine in it!

 

Yea some times I think they look too small with it been a 1.5 I don't want too put 18" on as will lose a few ponies lol . But then if I v8 it lol ummm

 

The exhaust is just 1 that a exhaust shop had so not sure on brand il find out for you, there is not a lot of mods off the shelf for our car I had too modify coilivers from a wrx too fit . You have any pix of yours ?

 

thank mate. i like the look of the muffler, looks way better than the ones tanabe has. yes, we have limited number of mods.. makes it kinda hard for us

mine is full bone stock.. thats how it looks like

 

Those speakers are poor, sorry

PG always was a pretender !

 

You want to wire that all in !!! ffs

 

I'm trying too look for few mods for power but don't appear too be much out there , there got too be some ways can get more out of the 1.5 . It's only a sub I'm wiring in its never guna be a power house so might as well make it sound good and look good .

 

Small update , not much but but makes a huge difference .

Before

After .



Opinions .

 

Looks well mate. Is it still 4wd this model?

 

It is all symmetrical , but on the sluggish side but handles great :0)

 

Still a good car, won't be as thirsty as a turbo. Presume it has equal length headers or does it have the scooby burble?

 

Tbh I think it has eaqule length but at low revs it has a bit if a burble I want some unequal length but have no idea where too get em . I'm probs about 28 mpg . It's best part of 2ton with a small lump so probs work out the same as a turbo 1 .

 

Got bored today so wrapped the boot spoiler . Bit like a airo bar like but was ok for a first attempt .

 

Very nice mate! Ive really got a soft spot for white hatches. Any more plans for it? STI bits?...

 

Got a few ideas like , I like the bumper vents from the sti and the spoiler but funds are low hence the low budget mods lol

 

Danny, I don't about what insurance you pay etc....but I remember on many cars that once you have it "tricked out" the costs of getting this look and the extra insurance premiums simply mean that the costs involved mean you would of been better buying the Cosworth, M3, STI.....(whatever you made your car look like) in the first place.

Are you not thinking that maybe it would of been better to simply get the sportier model in the first place?

But saying that, keep on trucking....looking nice!

 

Tbf mate , I'm happy with 1.5 for now . The power is crap but I feel after driving for 4 years that iv not gained enough experience for some thing like a sti I'd be silly with too much power and I want too be carful . Don't wana get a ban yet like lol ha ha .

 

liking the fly eyes

 

Cheers bud . I'm loving it too . Looks soo much better and more aggressive .

 

Taken a nice pic of my mates gttb Legasy tonight after we had taken it for a quick test run , converted too rwd for drifting on Monday witch i can't wait for :0)



I already love this car and its not even mine lol but next year if all goes well it might well be mine.
