Siighh, yes everyone, i need to get the front panel fixed, thats one of the first things on the list

fucking hate those rubbish bin trucks after what those fuckers did to it.

yeah i'm gonna hunt around for some kool tails and headlights, and the matching fogs as well
and yeah i do need a new indicator, how much you want for it?
and yeah i am sure about the front mount too, i will need it if i'm upgrading the turbo and keeping the PSI up at 13 pounds

also, what breaks do you guys recomend for me to get on this baby

Just get a set of 4 pots, they are more than adequate for street & a bit of track work, your choice of rims is much better too because of the size of expensive Brembo's.
Altezza's are so ugly so do yourself a favor & get some JDM STI tail lights & Crystal fronts like GX-REX said.
It's a pretty old car so if it's got high K's on it I wouldn't be putting too much power through it either or you'll be looking at a new motor or box or clutch.......or all of the above pretty soon, & being your age I'd get used to the power it already has before you go too silly on high performance mods, better off getting it to handle & stop first.

The gear knob/gear stick cover put an itch in my eye. I thought they only came in gx/rx models...

you won't need it... I'm running 17.5 psi on stock turbo and top mount... good luck with the car though.

yeah fair enough, but i have been driving a powerfull car as it is, and all the performance mods are all coming from my brother who owned it before me

And the Engine, box and clutch are all new second had ones coz my brother hurted the absolute fuck out of her when he had her, but even then i dont wont to hell hoon around and stress it too much, i'd just be casually driving around, but its always nice to say "oh ive gotten this done to the car" and then its good for the tracks also so

oh well

Pimpreza has a good point. Sure your stato may have had some power but a WRX handles completly differently and power comes on in a different way. Get used to the car before pushing the limits.

yeah, it'll be a while before i get the money to do the mods to her anyways, so that should give me the time to get a feel for it. im doing all the mods at once, and i will end up at the tracks before i end up doing anything to it to see what she does now and then how much its improved with the mods, so. its all good i will test her out for a good 6 months to 9 maybe before i get anything major done to it

Good to see that you are willing to listen & taking it to the track is the best thing you can do.
