Cool Garage History & Current.

Hey Guys,

Been around for a bit, thought i'd finally make this post.

My first car (yes first, and i am on P's til sept =\) was Bernards MY05 blue WRX.

I bought the car as it was and hadn't modified it other than the carbon scoop. The following mods were included with the car.


Blue MY05 WRX


Link G3 ECU with Launch & Antilag enabled.
3” XFORCE TBE

Apexi Boost Gauge
Bosch Fuel Pump

DBA 4000 Series slotted Rotors
Ferodo Brake Pads

STi front splitters
STi Spoiler
STi Front Lip
STi Fog Light Covers

18” Work Emotion Wheels (think they were CR-KAI?)

Sti links
Whiteline Front adjustable swaybar
Whiteline Rear swaybar
STi Strut Brace
King Low Springs.

Pioneer DVD Head unit.
Kenwood Amp
Alpine type-S Sub.

I had solid plans to go over east so I sold my car since NSW laws won't allow P-Platers drive turbo cars. My plans fell through since I got pussy whipped, so I had looked at buying that Version 4 type R vlimited with the 6 speed conversion and GD cluster setup off Kristian but was unlucky with that as he sold it to someone else.




Eventually came around to getting something and went Euro since i got desperate, i bought Stuarts MKIV R32 Golf which was alot of fun.

Again I didnt mod this, the only thing i did do was change the head deck around since the tape deck is just absolutely awful and i love my music so, it had to go. Threw in a JL Audio amp & Sub which i've now kept since i sold the car, see below.



MY04 MkIV R32 Golf:

4 Motion AWD #084/200

Painted satin black wheels
Lowered springs
K+N Panel filter
Removed resonator. Made it sound quite amazing..
Kenwood head unit.




Though I quite enjoyed the car, it just wasnt me. So now i've had the opportunity to get into the seat of a Version 6 Type RA which was formerly Blaise/Pete's car. Mods are copied straight from the advertisement.

Being back in a wrx gives me a mad stiffy.
