Hi all,

New to the board and thought I would say hi. Just got myself a MY99 WRX as a toy/project.

This will be my 4th scooby having started with them when I was in the UK. Moved to Victor Harbor in SA about 8 years ago. I used to have a MY14 STi but sold that after the children came along....

They they are a bit older and I have a little more time (when I'm not at work) I thought it was time for another.

I have always loved the classic GC8 in WRB with the gold wheels so that is what I decided to go for.

She has all the STi engine short block, forged internals, STi turbo, MRT uprated intercoolers, MRT full exhaust system, suspension, fuel pump, uprated brakes etc etc - so most of the big stuff has been done (except the gearbox - which I'll have to look at sometime). Tuned by S&J in Adelaide and last dyno run was 200Kw ATW.

Few cosmetic issues and other things that I want to change - but have a big boat shed she now lives in that I have turned into sort of a workshop for it

I currently slowly working away at it bit by bit in the evenings

Anyway - nice to be here

Welcome mate!

Wealth of info in the forum archives, although it's pretty quiet on the forum these days.

Enjoy the car (y)

Nice. Not sure about the wheels, but otherwise nice. Cool plates too.

yes the wheels I'm thinking about getting a set of possibly black rims at some point in time...

Just slowly working away at the paint and body work at present. Hopefully will be getting a nice new lick of paint in the not to distant future, once I have finished all the prep work.....

slow process but I enjoy chipping away at it

Heyy! hello I'm Max New here!!

welcome, the GC8 WRX still has plenty of admires, myself included, your wheels look great..
