Default Jake's Peanut! 2004 MY05 wrx.

Thought i might start a driveway thread now that I am starting to make some changes to my wrx. (finally owned)
I've had the car for almost 2 years, since owning it has spent a lot of time just sitting in the garage. Mainly being driven on the weekends.

I purchased the car full stock, not one single modification.
It stayed this way for around 6 months, at that time I got the windows tinted an swapped out the stock head unit for a double din pioneer set up, also opened up the exhaust to a 3" TBE.
Around 3-4 months later my standard suspension started knocking at the rear, i decided to just replace with coil-overs as I could get a good buy on a set of Ksports, which have proven to be alright.

I didn't make any further changes up until just recently.
Around 2 weeks ago I picked up a set of front splitters, a sti lip, fog covers and a sti spoiler (ULTREX).
I took the car in to Owen (Meltham motors) to have the parts fitted/painted. While I was there I also had the front bumper resprayed and the drivers side rear quarter panel. Car was in and out within a couple of days, Massive thanks to Owen an the guys. The quality of the job is amazing, cannot be faulted. Excellent customer service at a great price.
He also debadged the boot.

Yesterday I went to see Wei @ Vision R an got a set of Rotas put on, ended up going with the Graphite tint, polished lip.

Booked into ASG on the 10th for a Verso, also going to get a VF34, STi tmic and decap injectors done at the same time.
That should keep me happy.. for now..

THANKS KYM for the photos.

Sean knows that turbo set up very well and will make big fat torque and power with it. I would upgrade fuel pump too. Good luck

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm thinking I should probably do the fuel pump while I'm at it as well thanks Dave.
