Default Project: Shed Ornament.

So i owned an 07 wrx, wacked an exhaust on it, had it tuned. Then wanted more and realised the money to do that would be better spent on purchasing an sti. Fast forward 2 months and after driving a fair few sti and not being happy with them was beginning to think i wouldnt find anything that met my expectations. Then Doug PM'd me about an sti one of his customers was thinking of selling. Got in touch with him and organised to have a look the next day. As soon as i saw it I knew it was the one plus it only has a mere 33xxxkm's, deposit was paid. And now me and the Missus own an sti

Current mods:

Unkown 3" turbo back zaust with a magnaflow cannon
Tein super street coilovers with EDFC in cab control unit
Alpine dvd player
Defi gauges with all the controllers and what not
Carbing front strut brace, ultrex rear.
ARC air intake (never heard of them before, but the quality of finish is fucking amazing and sounds even better)
Has a carbon fibre lip and afew little cosmetic bits and pieces in the engine bay.
Rota 18x8.5 fighter rims in gunmetal with kumho Ku31 tyres.
Also have the original rims with 2 of the original tyres in near new condition.
Its Verso tuned and is apparantly making 280hp 400nm but have not seen a dyno plot for it. Going to contact ASG to try and get a copy but if i cant will just book it in for a power run.

Future plans:
Black out the headlights.
Underseat sub. Pretty happy with the stock system. Just needs a tad bit more punch.
Tidy up the original owners work in the engine bay.
Change the plates.

Here is the car

^^^ Best you bring that for when you pay the bill, rather than before they start work.

But seriously, nice pick up, nice referral, and good guys to work on the car, full of wins.

Well done mate they are awesome cars.

Any plans to ditch the South East Asian rims for something less South East Asian?
