Default New Betty

G'day,

Bought an "Ugly Betty" a couple of weeks ago from Osborne Park. You may have seen it there - there were 2 displayed in the lot and I bought the black one in memory of my black KH2 TX3 which gave me endless fun.

Been scrolling your website for a couple of days and the betty gets a crap load of abuse - either way I am happy with the purchase (having no idea she was dubbed the ugly betty to begin with).

Right now she is still very stock but I would like do a couple of mods along the way. Whiteline suspension options seems very appealing and my sub is getting very lonely sitting in my room. I can only hope the deck (sat nav option) has some pre-outs to make it simple.

Sold a Renault Sport Clio Ph2 in exchange for the betty. I am still a bit impartial about letting her go. If you would like to see my 1st impressions on the betty vs the RSC they are in this link:

Christ! - doesnt sound promising for the betty.

Oh well, I always wanted one and she is going to be with me for a while and I think we will make a great team! See ya on the forum.

Welcome aboard mate and dont believe everything you read on the net! Most of these guys and girls here would love a betty sti (provided the engine right). I drove it and loved the drive but hatch is not for me.

You will find that every new wrx model gets crapped re looks but then again we all bought suby's didn't we. Looks meh..performance hell yeah!

Lips, coilovers and zorst make all our cars look hawt! Then you just need to sort tune and performance.

Good luck post us some pics before you get this!

Hey nice car.....
I have already put the feelers out for mods and with a bit of luck will have some mods done in the near future.
Good luck and enjoy.
