Default My new baby.. S15

Most of you probably couldn't care less, but after owning a Subaru for the 3 or so years. I have decided to downgrade, to get out of debt and have a bit of a change.

I picked this S15 up a couple of weeks ago

It is fairly stock, has 106,000kms, 3" catback exhaust, apexi power FC, and some disgusting choices in styling mods.







After owning the car for 3 days and have already removed the wood grain stickers, given it a full detail, changed the tail lights to stock, De-winged it, De-badged it, changed gear knob, changed cd player for Pioneer DVD screen, lowered on king springs, and swapped the rims for ones off my STI until it sells.

Pics to come..

Just need time to get around to installing speakers, amps and subs now.

Also picked up some vertex side skirts, just waiting for a front and rear bumper to come along at a good price, then to get it painted and installed. Also looking at getting a front mount, blow off valve, Z32 AFM and retune. And then some aggressive stance rota rims on stretched tyres when the money is available.

Newer Pics, Big differences considering I had only owned it for 8 days:









Still have lots more to do to it, but at least i don't feel like a complete dickhead driving around in it anymore

I like S15s - I like this one now you fixed it up - but you need to put the wing back on and remove the black bonnet

Looks heaps better, especially inside! Those stickers were bloody terrible.
See how long you last till you want turbo AWD back though.

EDIT: +1 for rewinging

Update:

I have now installed my type R speakers all around. Just need time to install the amps and subs.

Mounted my power - fc hand controller on the dash, instead of it sitting inside the glove box.

Purchased and installed stock gear knob.

Spent about 4 hours polishing / buffing the whole car and it has turned out better than expected.

Restored my headlights, majority of the cloudiness is now gone.

Installed 6000k HID's and white led park lights, interior lights, and number plate light.

Picked up vertex side skirts, and m-sports rear bar. Have installed a front lip for now. Just waiting for a front bar to come up for a decent price, then it will be sent off for paint / install.

Also ordered an apexi turbo timer and an apexi EL2 boost gauge.

Have also looked around for new rims, I found some nice ssr sp1's or work cr kai's for a decent price. Not too sure if i should go pick up one of them or go for brand new Rota's instead.









Lots has been done, but still plenty more to do, until i am fully happy with it.

Appreciated these cars a lot since a couple of mates had them.
The mods you have done have revived the car
