So I've been on these forums for a while now and have finally gotten around to making my build thread.
I purchased this car around about 7 months ago now, it had been well maintained with 148,000 on the clock and was completely stock aside from the MOMO steering wheel. 
I couldn't be any happier with my decision to buy this as a first car.

Not a fan of the stickers on the windshield, but with a bit of low, this would look amazing. Very nicely taken care of man.


Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille

Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

Thanks man, I ran a set of 18" Enkei rpf1's for a little while and did enjoy the smaller size. Definitely will be going to a smaller size at some stage!

Yeah they didn't last long, they were removed a while ago now.
Due to one of my coils seizing up I've had a hard time getting more lows, but this shall be solved in the very near future.
Cheers!
