Bugeye WRX Wagon
I wanted to start a thread to serve as a mini diary of my car. This is my first Scooby and first 4wd performance car.
I bought her back in September; 73,000 miles, full dealer history, completely standard and a few stone chips aside a mint car.
Here is what she looked like back then:
I had no big plans, but was keen on a remap at some point.

First job was an oil change, wipers and new headlamps. Followed by a jdm grill, clear side repeaters and clear reflectors.
Here it is in the snow...

Im not a fan of cars that have more sho than go, but the scooby has a bit of go as standard. So I went for an alloy tax disc holder along with short numbler plates front and rear, some side skirts and tinted windows...

I have also been collecting parts...
Some strut braces (quite rare for a wagon).
Harvey Smith upipe.
More parts and a man with a laptop to follow!

Busy evening, spoke to Andrew Carr about a remap and he recommended a sti top mount or y-pipe. I dont want sti tmic yet as I have spent a lot and Im keeping the td04 for now.
So I found a WRX topmount with PPP y-pipe only £15 off of the bay!

Few more updates.
JDM pink badge grill.
Mongoose 3" Turboback Exhaust System
Some great work from Pole Position fitting the Harvey decat upipe and turbo back system. Also a CarBerry ROM remap from Andrew Carr. It is almost like a new car, much stronger pickup and pull in every gear and the soundtrack is immense... deep burble at idle, very loud exhaust note over 3000rmp and also turbo whistle. I have had some real fun in the car this week!

Added some ProSport gauges (oil pressure, oil temp and boost). These really seem to change the car, almost has a different feel to it now and more of a sense of occasion when turning the key!
Daytime...
Nightime...
Finally happy with the car (for now), next steps will be some suspension goodies.
