Oh haiz
So a few members may have, or most likely haven't met me, however I've been lurking around PDiddy for a few years now (mostly harassing Rossco in the Apexi discussion forum) and thought it was about time I introduce my ride. And not your mother, you know her pretty well, so I'll talk about the other one.
So for my 19th birthday, sick of the usual socks and jocks I went and purchased a wr blue my99 wrx with 110K on the clock. At the time it ran an APS top mount,
tbe, unishit and a pod filter. I think this was an APS STI power up kit, or something along those lines?? Also had king springs, koni shocks, and a set of 17 rims.
So it sat like that for a few years, but I really had just had a gut full of the unichip, and ended up strapping a VF30 onto it, along with an Apexi PFC and a Z32 afm. Along with a few exterior mods it eventually looked a little like this.
You may notice, I'm really not much of a god with a camera, hence the rather pox photos, but none the less, you get the idea.
However, this is when it all gets rather interesting. At the start of this year, I tossed around a few ideas as to getting a new car as I was spinning into the 200K club, or buying a 207, etc etc, when I was fortunate enough to come across quite a beauty at a damn fine price. I would explain it all myself, but the seller did a bang on job in his FS post so linky linky and you'll get the idea.

So It was decided to go down the rebuild path, and at the same time, just because, I've gone out and purchased a set of coilovers, new brakes (DBA 4000's), new sway bars and H bar, the entire catalogue of bushes, jdm sti tail lights, foglamp covers and a GTPumps GTPS02 twin scoll turbo complete with headers.
So over the last few days, I've driven my car home to SA for the build to carry on, unfortunately without me, but I just don't have the space to do so in Perth, so it seems the easier option in the long run. At this stage there are still many variables up in the air (6 speed mainly), but as the build gets underway I will try to keep this updated as new information gets passed onto me.
Here's hoping for an enjoyable and fruitful build.
Oh, and so technically in my Perth driveway is a Barina.
