I did buy the car knowing it would need a grand or so in repairs. My dad is paying for it all upfront, and I am repaying the loan ASAP.

Have finished the re-badging, looks good in my opinion


Tried to install Blue LED's for the dash instrumentation, but couldnt get the cluster out before it got dark, so will try again another day.

Matcraft mats are awesome, I must really get a photo or two.

I have ordered a ribbon cable to repair my HeadUnit, which cost about $25 shipped from USA, it is an official Pioneer repair kit. Im expecting it to arrive this week.

My next question is, custom number plates. Im tossing up 2 options.
  1. CBS WRC (My Initials)
  2. SUBARULAH - White on Dark Blue, it is my toon name in WoW.

Does anybody know a decent detailer who can get rid of the swirl marks in my paint work for $200 or less?

Pioneer cables just arrived to fix the stereo - Fingers crossed this is the solution!

Stuff still to go, or planned for the future. Writing a list here so I can keep track of it.

- Version 6 STi Wing
- 03 Bonnet Scoop.
- MoTeC ECU
- FuelPump Upgrade
- Norm Butler TBE
- Gold Rims from a MY99 or MY02 STi
- Verso Tune
- Rally Decals

- Sway Bars
- Strut Brace (The one in the bonnet)
- Anti-Lift
- CF Gas Struts for Bonnet
- Brake Cylinder thingy (The one Wayne sells)?

- Engine Rebuild to EJ207 Forged
- Upgrade to the Turbo
- Upgrade to the TMIC
- GD STi Interior Transplant.

I dont know what I'm going to do for most of these - just merely putting a list of my intentions down. Will need help and to do some research over the coming months to plan-out my attack on this car. Any advice is welcomed.
