Default My first scooby

About me:

I'm Allan. I live NOR near Joondalup and I recently picked up a MY00 WRX.

Its currently got a front mount, turbo back exhaust, bodykit etc.

Ive only owned it about 2 weeks but so far have put in a new boost gauge, turned boost down a bit, did a good ol' aussie swap of 2x 4 packs of JB for a sub and 2 amps. Thats going in tomorrow.

I also have a remote start/alarm/turbo timer combo system on the way, hopefully before Xmas so I can hook that up.

In the coming months I plan on upgrading fuel pump ( I hear Walbro 255l is the way to go), tracking down a ECU and getting a tune.

Trying to only do upgrades that wont incur the wrath of the misses at this point.

Ive attempted to upload a pic of my car.

Thanks for reading Look forward to attending some cruises, work permitting of course.

Just realised I have very few photos of her so I went and took a couple of quick shots.

Also forgot to mention she already has a monster tacho installed, BOV, boost tap installed etc.

Top mount intercooler is a good intercooler to get

Remote start is a thing not to get

Turbo timer is a thing not to get

Welcome.

Welcome.
Just been advised by a shop to keep the front mount.

Found out that remote start is actually illegal on manual cars that are the age mine is so thats definately out.
