Hey guys,

FInally took some reasonable pics of the weekend of the car... so here they are after a wash...

Car when I bought it


After a wash








Infront of my house (with door damage)






Well thats about it I guess...

Bought the car 2 weeks ago now... haven't done a thing to it.. yet.

Car came with

+ Front and rear swaps
+ Upgraded brakes (RDA?)
+ Rear Camber
+ 17" WRX wheels
+ Sunroof
+ Cruise control
+ Log books
+ Turbo Back Exhaust

- Damage to the front passenger door
- Some paint off the roof from bat poo left on roof
- 4AT gearbox (I wish it was manual)
- 200,000kms
- Few scratches here and there


So anyway, thats the car.

The engine cover says there was an ECUtek tune done on it, but previous owner said ECU was swapped for a stock one, but I'm not convinced. No pinging or anything, but running it on 98RON.

Things to do:

+ Tint (20-30%)
+ Mud Guards (Just bought some)
+ Tune (Gotta start saving)
+ Upgrade speakers
+ Interior LEDs
+ Exhaust Tip or change diff back muffler
+ Clear indicators

And maybe a few other things, but will see how I go first...

Comments and advice welcome

Lol! Yes... it has been around for a while... and the guy I bought it from this year had it up on here too, since he had a problem with it, which turned out to be the alternator, which he fixed, then he sold it...

But some ppl have seen these plates around before... someone saw it on the spotted thread in 2009 and 2012 I think...

Awesome car mate can't wait to see what you do with the car

Thanks mate, haven't got tonnes planned, but few things here and there... its a "family car"...

Tis very nice looking. The wheels are actually quite classy looking IMO

tidy b4 mate

Looking real good. Keen to see the mods you have planned done to it man.

Panel damage is unfortunate. I don't mind orange indicators, depends on the colour of the car but on the Blue the Clear doesn't look much better in my opinion. I like the plans. It seems to be lowered about the same amount as mine? The wheels suit it surprisingly well. With those K's it doesn't surprise me a few little things have popped up - but I assume you picked her up for a bargain. Wish mine had a sunroof. LED's aren't my thing errr see if you can pick up a genuine towbar blank with the badge on it, makes it look tidier. If you are leaving it on. Mine had the cap and it grew on me, never towed with it yet though.

Clear indicators definitely are better on any colour liberty except mine, IMO. Mine's red so a clear indicator would stick out more than orange.

Nice car!..
But if you're photoshooting, at least choose a decent background, not the front yard or parked over the white line lol.

Stand far away from the car and zoom in a little. pictures should turn out a little better. What i mean is don't do wide shots

tidy b4 mate

Thanks mate, hope to keep it that way

Yeah I'm keen to see what it turns out like too... LOL

Yeah, it sux about the panel damage, but I can live with it for now... I think the clear indicators will be nice, so they will be my next purchase I think. Yeah the ride height is nice, and I like how the wheels fit, so gonna keep it that way. K's are high, and yes, thats part of the reason I got it for a bargain, but had the full log book service history, so its not too bad. Sunroof is good, but I have to take it in to get a new glass installed as part of a recall on that series... all good.. I just bought a tow bar cap for it on eBay and picking it up on Friday, so will be ready in time for the central cuise meet

Thanks mate... from one B4 owner to another.. LOL!

Yeah I know I had to choose a better location, but I didn't have too much choice on that day... had the wife and baby in the car and was at Olympic Park, so just took some quick snaps and left... other pics were infront of my house, which I also know isn't cool, but time is never in my side... thats why I'm looking forward to the photoshoot meet on Saturday.

Thanks for the photo taking pointers too, will take on the advice and use it soon.

Needs more tint, mud guards, clear indicators. some low & a Suby club sticker.

Sort it!

Nice ride mate

Lol Thanks mate... Mudguards should be on in time for the cruise this saturday... will try finding clear indicators on eBay now... I need many suby stickers but I think its low enough... just on legal height limit now...

Also thanks for the present... arrived on my birthday...

[Zac]

My amber side indicators appear to be slightly darker than normal. I'll leave it.
