Default Pics of my car finally

This is the first WRX I have owned, needed the wagon, and always prefered the classics..













Only a couple of niggling points though, the rear passenger door has a little dink and a scratch about a foot long on it, dont really like the way that the side skirts are that much lower than the bumpers, and it was originally running the standard ecu with td04, it seems to have the 3 port boost solenoid on it, I thought you needed a remap after having one of these fitted, I have just fitted a td05 with matching ecu to it and k&n panel filter, still standard i/c, fuel pump and injectors, would I need a remap because of the boost solenoid it was on there when I got it..
Anyway I paid £1250 for this, 70,000 miles with paperwork to prove, imported in 2006, new mot and tax, so far nothing seems wrong with it...But I am touching wood as I type this...!!

A very tidy example especially @ a steal of a price. Wagons have started growing on me alot more these days also. Nice one

Just need to sort out the side skirts they are quite loose, is the some sort
of splitter or something that could go on the rear bumper to even out the heights between skirts and rear bumper

nice, i would ditch the sideskirts though.

Clear indicators and some foglight covers and that would look lovely imo

I do enjoy it, dont really drive it fast, drive about 15 miles a day for work and nearly all of that is off the turbo...just love the feel and sound but the speed is nice sometimes..
