Default My 2006 wrx

Hey Just thought I'd introduce myself, moved up from a 2L NA liberty to a 2006 wrx

Enjoying it so far, has a few cosmetic issues such as scratches and stone chips and faded hood scoop which hopefully i'll get around to fixing.

Pretty fun to drive but the tyres and brake pads are a bit sub par atm and the bracing and stiffer sway bars seem to make it slide more than grip.

Here's a pic


Planned future mods
Dump + tune
Bigger turbo
Coilovers
Wider wheels and better tyres (re003 or ad08)

Nice car, looks tidy.

Definitely make tyres your first mod. Most important part of the car!

Don't forget to paint your calipers red for about 25 more KW.

Well where do I start, alot of stuff has happened to this car in the last 6months.



Made 196kw atw with a vf43, 3" dump with splitter, arp headstuds, STI tmic and dw65c fuel pump.

Super stoked with it, wayyyy better to drive.

Also picked up some my11 wrx wheels with michelin ps3's and theyre fairly good.

Fixed so many bits and pieces I cant even remember but finally starting to enjoy the car

It was on the maximum Motorsport dyno, mainline I think?

i assume the torque figures must be way off though

Yeh the dyno printout looks a bit off, I'd be questioning that with MMS

New wheels look mint!
