Looks like a solid base Sam
Still remember the feeling when I bought my first turbocharged car too! 

[Harry88]

Looks good man. I like that colour on wrx's. We shall wait and see what you do with this one.

[aekOne]

nice one Sam! enjoy

[Beckers]

Looks great Sam, nice buy.

[Samwise]

Thanks boys.

 

So many decisions! One minute I want a monster build with all the STi goodies ... next minute I only want to do a couple of subtle mods here and there, maybe join the 200 club.

 

We'll see how I go hahah.

[Zac]

I don't like it... needs 1 more turbo...

 

Nice man... can't believe it is shorter than my sedan... and its a wagon!

 

Think Gaz is going for the STi goodie monster, 200 club sounds good... I've heard nice things...

[R-Y]

Nice buy mate. Love anything silver.

What colour rims are you looking at getting and what colour?

If your chasing STI springs, I have a set of 06sti black spring I'm wanting to get rid of. Only done 5,000ks

[Scuba-Roo]

The koji headlight mod is good on these. Fuckload cheaper then the sti fella's.

The sti grill changes the look of the front end. Makes them heaps better

Looks like a pretty good start for either direction you want to head into

I was looking at like 18 x 8.5 or something. I wanna go with white. I got some white plasti dip for the wrx wheels to see how it looks.

 

06 sti? Isn't that a change in the pcd therefore the springs are different as well?

The koji headlight mod??

 

The sti grille is just a one piece, rather then the 3 pieces. Plus I think it's mesh, not honeycomb..? Hah. I was just gonna pretty much do an STi front end conversion.

[Morgan]

It's only the strut feet that are different AFAIK.

[Scuba-Roo]

Heat the headlights in an oven and paint the inside black. Theirs a good diy on rexnet.

Yeah i know its 1 piece. I have one lol. Some are honey comb and some are mesh, either look heaps better,

Sell me your bits, seeming as your Dad is driving it haha.

What would you know!

[Josh.]

Silver bugs are the goods

Black headlights and replacing the orange indicators/reflectors makes them look so much better.

STI tail lights?

[Scuba-Roo]

Lol, my dad has never driven the car. Ever.

My sister will be taking ownership of mine in a month or so, she still wants it to 'look cool'

Yes they are!

 

I have a spare head light, so I'll have a crack at it.

 

I meant the JDM ones! Haha. The non-fog light version.

Haha. Mine needs to look cooler though!

[Samwise]

Looks like a midget car.  How dafuq do you fit in it?

With many eases.


What gauges do you guys recommend? I've already got boost.
I'm guessing wideband? Or?

[R-Y]

Oil pressure/temp or water temp.

[Josh.]

Wideband for sure.
