Default And so It begins the tranformation for my auto wrx

Hey guys,

Just a few pictures to show you how I am going with the first Auto Sti conversion, well as close as I can sort of make it with some exceptions. On the weekend thanks to muggz, me and my brother started with the interior and have add a few external parts as well. It's going to take about a year to finish, but it's a load of fun..

The car goes in to the paint shop next month, to get the Spoiler, scoop(getting fitted this week) side skirts done. We are spraying the calipers black, keeping the standard Calipers but the subaru on the caliber will be shaved and look a bit chromy throught the rims which are going to be the lite-fin hyper black by speedy.

I also got the genome sti guages for the pod today which should even make her more sweet.

The month after it is going to baileys (thanks adrian the guys are stars) where it will get the transmission set up for the engine improvements. Because the Wrx has the sequential shift in it, It will be made firmer and instant.

Can't wait to do some crusies with you guys when she's done

Thats looking mint already. The interior already look like the real deal and the front end is already just about there. Dont forget the HID kit for the headlights.

Thanks Muggz, that interior worked out sweet, except the door trims are different due to the mirror switch

Looking good man... i like the plans for the build.
Nice choice on the rims too, I find they're awesome for hiding brake dust

NAh, I just like going fast while eating a Hamburger... Later on I will do the six speed conversion but that's in about 5-6 years when they become cheap enouf... But I will see how the auto goes first
