Soksta's MY11
 

As many of you would know, I recently picked up the new widebody wrx.

Seeing that the mods have begun, I thought its time to introduce the car with a bit more detail and the future mods I have in mind :D

This is what it looked like just a couple of hours after taking ownership of the car.

Who couldn't love the boy racer look with some nice fat arches :D

[B]Car no longer sits like this as the coilovers have been removed and the factory suspension sits in its place.
Mud flaps have also been re-drilled and now sit higher on the car.[/B]

Welcome aboard Tony. Enjoy your stay, search button is your blah blah blah ;)

tint those fogs and tails
ratchet those coilovers down another 25mm
flash tune in current mechanical form

widebody FTW..right Tino ? :D

Love this car Tony. Look forward to seeing the future mods. Any pics with camber?

You forgot your CUSCO brake stopper on the list. ;):D

[QUOTE=American Dave;520278]tint those fogs and tails[/QUOTE]
I'll wait for some one else to try this first and see what it looks like :P

[QUOTE=American Dave;520278]ratchet those coilovers down another 25mm[/QUOTE]
Car sits low enough as it is now, should really get a side shot to compare before and after coilover installation.

[QUOTE=ImPreSiV;520282]Any pics with camber?[/QUOTE]
Only the ones I took after the RA mud flaps went on, but even on those you can't really see much.
Will try and get some happy snaps taken over the next couple of days.

[QUOTE=JDM_STYLE;520286]You forgot your CUSCO brake stopper on the list. ;):D[/QUOTE]
Not only did I forget it, but I also forgot to pick it up :(

[QUOTE=American Dave;520302]pics of view from side and rear required[/QUOTE]

Will be provided, hopefully tomorrow afternoon I'll get some taken.

[QUOTE=American Dave;520303]oh really do tell :D[/QUOTE]
Nothing wrong with being special :P
They are facing the correct way now :D

Awesome car Tony and nice mod list already. Must be good fun to drive :D

As Dave said, side and rear pics required!

Nice Tony.

Tony is really patient...I know this because I drool on his car daily when its parked up in Perth and he cleans it everyday :p

Beautiful car and tastefully modded. :thumbsup:

Added pics with dumpage.

That stance looks much better.

Dumpage looks perfect

Wow I'm now of the opinion that is frigging bombed. You must be stoked with it buddy.

I had a look the list of mods to come.
This going to be quite the beast.

Now where's the tissue box...

Had the pleasure of detailing Tony's pride and joy today -

^^ big thanks goes to Adz for coming around on a public holiday and doing an amazing job!
Cheers Mate!

You flashed past me on Albany highway last week...car is stiffy material! ;)

A big thanks goes to James (MY00GC8) for helping to locate the appropriate part numbers.

These came on Friday, a set of fog light covers as I really hate the look of the fog lights on this car.

For those interested, I've placed the part numbers in the opening post.

Nice Tony. I have been toying with the idea of removing the fogs as well. You really can't use them here in Aus. I see them without the fogs on iwsti website and they don't look to bad. I've put a request in with the war office for a set on my birthday or Christmas. I will have a better look in a couple of weeks when I see your car in the flesh.
But it does look good from the pictures.
James

love the new mod much better look imo..can you funnel more air to brakes with this ?

James to the rescue again, looks good Tony :icon_thum

Would be nice to see it at the secret squirrel meet today. :D

Wow there is so much want now!

Much better :d

[QUOTE=wrxr2d2;525692] I've put a request in with the war office for a set on my birthday or Christmas.[/QUOTE]

War office is the misses? :D

[QUOTE=American Dave;525695]can you funnel more air to brakes with this ?[/QUOTE]

I'd have to say no as these covers fully close off the front bumper.
Even with the OEM covers there isn't alot of air flowing through to the brakes unless you completely removed the lights (which I didn't have the time to do, requires removing the front bumper) and put in some ducting.

[QUOTE=JDM_STYLE;525696]Would be nice to see it at the secret squirrel meet today. :D[/QUOTE]

Everyone who just read this now knows of the existence of a secret squirrel meet, not so secret now ;)

[QUOTE=Soksta;525704]Everyone who just read this now knows of the existence of a secret squirrel meet, not so secret now ;)[/QUOTE]

and those of us with Wayne on Facebook... looks good Tony, as said, the foglights are pointless here in Australia, so the covers are a much better option, and look WAY better

They look great Tony.
The only thing I could find for MY08-10 were these, and they look nowhere near as good. The grille on the chargespeed car looks excellent as well.

I hope I can find something as good looking as the ones you have.

Looks great.. and weighs less!

Looks sweet! Congrats!!

Yes they might have known there was one on but no idea where or when and Kymbo FB friends were invited so it doesn't matter. :D

Will just have to wait until next Saturday for the meet to actually check out your car properly Tony. :icon_thum

I'll have to make sure that I hang around long enough this time.
No drooling on the car please :D

Sorry. :o

I wish I had mine so I could attend. Next time.

Looks like I was 0/2 then no love.

Least I managed to steal Tony from you mate he had a date with better prospects :D

Yeah he had a party to go to after you scavenged his Grimmspeed BCS. :D

You should remove the lights completely and sell em to the yanks on Nasioc as they are sick for em!

yeh looks much cleaner.. never been a fan of fog lights on any subaru

Looks great! Am liking the new shape more and more! :D

Still want them to build a wagon though! ;)
