Default My New to Me 01' WRX

Hello all,

I'm new to the forums and have recently purchased a 2001 Impreza WRX in Black w/ Metallic Blue in the Clear. It has 127,000km on it at the moment and the only mods it has had done to it are:
- 3" Cannon Muffler
- Heavy Duty Clutch and Flywheel to match
- 500hp Walbro Fuel Pump
- Slotted and Drilled front rotors (replaced last service)

So far with the car i am over the moon, it brings a smile to my face every time i get to drive it easily beating my first car (09' Holden 'Golf Ball' Barina). Being a uni student money is a problem with upgrading as there isn't a lot of it to go around, but hopefully during the break i can find a bit more reliable source of income to use for modifications.

As for I'm not concerned with adding power as it already has a good amount and i don't want to increase fuel usage.
Future Plans Include:
- Fixing up dents and Scrapes on the Body (already very straight bodywork)
- Changing the aerial to one that isn't static overload
- Upgrading the Radio/Head Unit to one with Bluetooth + DAB
- Nice Set of Rims + Tyres
- Stiffening up the car with some Struts

Apart from that since i have got the car we have changed the rear brake pads, 2 of the Tyres (other 2 were near new). Things that are on the immediate list to do include fixing an annoying squeak from the rear wheels when braking at low speeds (<15km/h) as it squeals to the point of ear bleeding when it is really bad, and also at the next service getting the timing belt done (sometime early December).

I will put up more pictures on the Weekend after i clean it.
