Hello Everyone

Just purchased a 2001 WRX in WR Blue with 18inch OZ rims. Sold my Lotus Elise.

Its a standard WRX but has the morrette headlamp conversion.

Any advice on the looking after it, hints/tips would be appreciated

Also thinking of putting a STI type UK spoiler. Anyone know where I can get one cheap? Dealer wants £900

Also I need a tracker fitted for insurance reason. Anyone know a good dealer in London?

Hope to be an active member on here.

Which dealer did you get it from?
My '01 WRX got sold recently by a dealer near Guildford.

Welcome to the board and congrats on your new buy

Look after it by buying Merguirs (sorry about the spelling) wax products. Somewhere on here will have the web address. Just bought some products from them ABSOLUTLEY FANTASTIC.

TSL do a nice range of spoilers: www.tsl-motorsport.co.uk (i think)

Phone RAC up and they will put you in touch with a reputable installer. Make sure you get Trackstar Protector as a lot of insurers wont give you insurance with anything less and its better than the standard retrieve anyway

See ya m8

Hope you know that if you are driving it around at present without a tracker that its not insured for theft by your insurance company.

A tracker will cost you around £500 but there are insurance companies that dont require them to be fitted........

Get the PPP - you will never look back! Makes the car what you thought it would be in the first place!

Yeah Snoop, if its an X plate ending in BPA (reg Dec'00), with Sports seats (not the buckets) and sliver 18" OZ wheels, then you've also got:

subaru front lip (with the grey centre section)
subaru back difuser (with the grey middle section)
subaru side sill extensions + coloured sills
Subaru/Prodrive Spring kit (25mm lower than standard)
And the NavTrak ProActive tracker system



Thats of course if it's my old one!

What a shame. My car is a Y reg but has everything you mentioned apart from the security.

A friend at work tells me that the new Imprezas are slower than the ones they have replaced. Is this true? Also the dealer was telling me that there is a facelift Impreza coming out. Anyone seen or heard about this?

TIA

Snoop,

Well, if the OZ wheels are gold and you bought it in the last 3 days, sounds like it might have been Simes' old one, nice one.

The new '03 can be seen here:

Sounds like it's my old car...send me a mail with the reg and I'll let you know if it is, and give you a bit of info about it (nothing too worrying).

Yep

Just confirmed that the car I have purchased is Simes old car.

One last question I promise. Is TSL a company that sells Scooby stuff or a manufacturer.

Thanks again

p.s Elsie owners seem to flash other Elise drivers. Is this how it is with Subarus too?

TSL stands for Trent Saab Limited and they are a Subaru 'Specialist' also.

Meguiars website is http://www.meguiars.co.uk and the stuff is Fan-bloody-tastic.Here's a link to a post that I contributed to which tells you what stuff I used PLUS some pics on the second page of the 'finished article'

Good luck

Snoop,

TSL make their own stuff, sell official stuff and other manufacturers bits n pieces.. Whole heartedly recommend them and their gear.

One of the best outfits in the UK.
