Default Eski's Bugeye WRX

Hi guys and girls,
My names Matt and i have recently got a 2001 wrx. This is my first Subaru and so far im loving it. The car is getting used as a daily so nothing crazy MOD wise if I can control myself.
I'm pretty sure all it has at the moment is a pod filter and turbo back exhaust. I plan on taking it on some unsealed roads for a bit of fun every now and then.
Hopefully one day I can meet up with some of you so I can get a better knowledge of Subaru's (come from Toyota background)
Anyway here is the only pic I have for now

Welcome Matt. Congrats on the purchase, it looks like it is a very tidy example! If it has got a TBE you may find that it has had an ecu re-flash to go along with it. Otherwise, this is a pretty cheap 'mod' you could do to get some good additional power

Sweet, I'm not to sure weather it has or not but it sounds like something I should be looking into

So today I pulled the headlights out and blacked out the chrome shroud inside. At the same time I restored the outer plastic as they were getting pretty cloudy and yellow. I'll throw some pics up tomorrow but I think they turned out great

OK while under the car today I noticed I have a power steering leak from a fitting on the rack. In the picture it's the hose on the right.
Anyone know why it might be leaking all of a sudden?
Does it have an oring or is it flared?
Or what thread size it is?

Sorry for all the questions, just asking so I can get the parts before removing

Loose fitting? Try giving it "nip" before deciding what to do

The lights look great mate, how did you go about restoring the outer plastic? Mine could do with a bit of work.
