Camerons MY99 WRX
So, I finally got it. After 13 years of dreaming and saying 'one day I will drive the same car as Colin McRae does!' I have a GC8 WRX.
I will have some proper photos this weekend. Need a bit of touchup work done on it first. The Details:
The Problems:
Whats being done about it.

Put a stocky BOV back on - You'll get your nice fuel economy back. I have run no heatshield for a while. Can't say i've really noticed a problem, but good to get one back on i guess. Rocker cover seal is the major issue i reckon. Can you smell it burning on the exhaust yet? I wonder how the rear main seal is holding up. Do you know if the clutch has been replaced at all? Looks like a very tidy GC8 though.

No idea about the clutch - No service history in the car, I hope its at the dealership still. The dealers moved it to another yard for me so its possible it was just left at the original yard. It is VERY tidy on the inside - like new actually! Has a nice blue/black weave pattern in the seats which I wasn't expecting. |

New Photos - Car Mats are delayed till next week. Cant do rear window tinting at this stage - a custom rear shelf is installed for the sound system which needs to be removed by somebody first.
