hi hi
 

hey guys how it going?

my name's abs, i recently joined the forums under the name abscind, i just changed it, didnt make an intro coz i was waiting for my car .

I'm a uni student at curtin, seen a few perth-wrx cars there so next time ill give out a wave :D

recently bought '06 wrx sedan, not sure if prev owner was a member, dont think so but anyway.

The only mod i did was adding the catback.
The wheels were on there when i got it, not sure if i like them or not, thoughts?
I was testing out the dvd player in the last pic haha..

future mods;
sti spoiler
poly front lip
lowering+change wheels maybe

not sure about any power mods though..im still a noob :s

welcome

i do think there was a car on here that looked just like that for sale on here...

Looks like you bought my neighbour's WRX!

I was wondering to myself where it went since it dissappeared about a week ago.

Have fun around here, heaps of knowledge and advice for the noob. Welcome!

p.s. I don't like the wheels as well honestly. Lose it ASAP

Least they aren't 20" Vaults

agreed, needs new rims, otherwise, welcome :D

I doubt you'll find anyone here who approves of those rims. Welcome to the forum. The rest of the car looks pretty schmick.

Welcome to the forum, lose the rims though!!

Welcome, meh to the rims. They arent that hideous, wait til you need new tyres and then do both at the same time.

Turn that catback into a turbo-back, add some whiteline goodies and enjoy!

i've no idea what you just said... apart from the wheels and tint LOL


to turn a catback into a turbo back, would u need to replace the whole system, or is there someway to just add in an extra part? :confused:

Catback = nice sound, litttle more poke

Turboback = BETTER SOUND (turbo whistle), more response and pulls alll the way to redline

Turboback = Catback + Up-pipe.

The stock up-pipe has 2 CAT CONVERTERS! so extremely restrictive!

[QUOTE='Dan [WRX CS Evo 7];663779']

Turboback = Catback + [B]Down-pipe[/B].
[/QUOTE]

Fixed :)

To turn a catback into a turbo-back all you need to do is add the downpipe and mid pipe however some aftermarket downpipes include the mid-pipe.

Ideally you can should lose one of those cats and replace it with a freer flowing single cat. Try to find a downpipe that has it's cat as close to the turbo as possible.

You'll need a tune as well once you get a TBE

Not compulsary. Maximises the benefits but it doesn't change too much and won't blow the car up.

I thought your car would be running lean if you don't tune?

Spoke to the dudes at STechnic about this and they said that the difference is minimal. The main reason to get a tune is to get the best out of the freer flowing exhaust, considering a verso tune is around a 1000 bucks for the first tune its worth waiting until its essential.

Anyway, enough thread hijack! Keep us updated abs and try and get down to a meet sometime!

haha thanks guys, wont be thinking about changing to a tbe for a while though, changing other things first. but that info was handy, thanks !

welcome, style your car as you want to, not how others tell you.
