Now the gtb wagon is gone and having spent months before and some after searching and having no luck finding the 08 sti wagon i wanted , i bit the bullet and bought this :

Knowing some have a luv/hate (styling wise) thing with this model its starting to grow on me so the new ride..................................




2011 br gt premium , sitting at docklands waiting for it to be ready to go

will be starting a new thread in builds soon, with updates as this becomes something more than it is now

already planed for sti lip, rear tailgate spoiler, new grill and just deciding on what wheels to go with.

Plenty of other ideas as to what direction to take this, but being a daily drive there are some limits.

People may hate on the Gen5, but not many of them can actually afford to buy an almost new GT. I am sure with some tasteful mods you can make it look better they have grown on me a little more, but mostly because all the other cars have gone that way now with the insect eyes.

[Alex]

Congrats on the new purchase!

You are right, the look does grow on you.



Will be interested to see where you will go with this in terms of mods and improvements!!


Thumbs up here!

I think with some nice wheels and more low, maybe some dark tints, and it would look good mate. Ridiculously comfy. Will make for an awesome daily.

Cheers,
Shazza

Got to admit the budget did have to stretch a lot to afford this ............. and subaru have striped out this car compared to other earlier models , seems reverse sensors and a cam and now the norm?( hell people cant drive any more ) lol
But yes tinting wheels and many hours spent cruising japanparts/importmonster getting a few ideas as to ways to improve the look and inject some suby goodness into this may help

cant wait till i get my hands on it

btw if any one wants to see the new brz in the flesh docklands have on there now, all i can say is nice very nice, seems subaru are going back to the dna on this one!

i hated the look of this model, but i saw a White sedan the otherday, dumped, STI front Lip. and seem to have some sort of sideskirt lip. it looked sweet and changed my mind

oh and congrats

[Morgan]

Nice pickup, mate! Glad you went the wagon. They aren't too bad looking at all.

Enjoy!

[RX25SE]

Im looking forward to this build.

[BigWillieStyles]

[br wags]

current 2012 wrx 18" bbs sti rims in silver
havent seen any with this wheel on yet and im thinking of heading towards these. what do you think?

now just got to sit on my hands for a week till i can get my hands on the car...................was never a very patient person!

[Alex]

Stud pattern will be different, no?

[SUBARU]

Made me want.

[br wags]

Depends on what sort of impression you are trying to make. Racer styled or VIP? How about some Work Emotion Kiwami (super concave) in bronze with lowish offsets or Work VSXX

BTW, I assume you are also lowering the car as well?

[terencehng]

this site should give you a few ideas http://www.emotion-***.com/home.htm

why can't you type f-u-k .. it appears as stars..

[Shaz]

I'd like to see something like the below Enkei Rpf01 in maybe 18 or 19 x 9 or something.

[br wags]

wil deff looking more towards a vip look wheel, though its just made it much harder after seeing the kawami,works and now the rpf01 as for lowering car already comes with blistiens which are lower that standard factory height.
Depens on how the rims fill the gaurds, if i go lower yet
