Help me personalise/modify/ upgrade my WRX!
 

Just got myself into the world of WRX's.

My mildly modded MY00 needs a bit of personalisation to make it mine.

I'm after suggestions/recommendations to help me with this from peeps who know these cars better than me!

Here is the car as is:

[ATTACH]8083[/ATTACH]

Has HKS exhaust (quiet) filter, Blitz boost control set to 14psi max.
Want to keep the car fairly legal,reliable and streetable, but good for track days as well . . .

Welcome!
If you are after a bit of personalization, maybe grab a set of [URL="http://home.comcast.net/~jonathanyau/DSC01270.JPG"]these headlights[/URL], some rims and lower it with either some springs (kings or STI springs) or some coilovers. That should get you started :)

Welcome to the forum :)

Get some whiteline goodies on it...

Thats an MY01 mate, nice colour too.
Definitely get some STI headlights, Ultrex front lip.
And [url=http://www.seiboncarbon.com]SEIBON[/url] in the US make some spacers to lift the rear spoiler a bit.
That will make it stand out a bit, like the other's have said get some coil-overs and some swaybars, that will improve the handling out of sight.
Get a flash-tune (ECUtek or Verso) for a bit more go.

Nice car mate, just parted with my bug eye a couple of months ago.
simple but effective changes, colour code the side skirts, swap the side indicators to clears, snap out the orange reflectors inside your headlight. get it slammed, but properly with some nice white line gear. then look for some nice rims (i like the white enkei 18's) and a full exhaust system is always nice. i think the best place to really get a good idea is to get along to some cruises and have a chat with the lads. good luck with the ride and keep it locked up!!!

Which workshops do a flash tune?

Yeah, its alarmed, garaged and protected by an edgy Doberman and fearless Jack Russel. . .

Keen to come to some cruises, worried that coilovers will be too harsh if spring rates are too stiff, that being said I had KSports on my old RX-7 and it was fine. Liking the Rota Grids 18's for rims ATM. I plan to spray the brake calipers red. White line do sway bars from memory, rebushing the suspension with nolathane is something I would also like to do.

Its 2000 on the paperwork, I thought the same as you when I bought it.

Is it cool or naf to put sti stickers/bits on a cooking model wrx?

Ask yourself this - is it gay to put TypeR stickers on a Honda Civic 1.6 GL

O and welcome

sorry but all these suggestions won't 'personalise' your wrx. It'l just make it look like every other wrx on the road.

rip the back seat out and put a hot tub in there.

Perhaps a bowling alley. Think outside the square and do something no one would ever think of.
