So I thought I'd finally start up a driveway thread for my rexy as I'm about to start doing some stuff to it. Not on much of a budget and will take time to do things.

Always wanted a WRX and am pretty obsessed with them. After two years of saving and talking non stop about them I bought mine. Went for the automatic as I saw it advertised and got a good price. Thought it would be a good intro for an eventual STI

I bought the car at 165,000 kms in April 2013.
Its now at 175,000. Since buying it I've done practically nothing as it runs strong. Had a service at 172,000 and is next due at 182,000.

Has a 3" catback exhaust system, it's not finished all the way up to the engine yet though. Work was done at Genie Exhaust. Got to go back and get it finished at some point...! Not completely happy with the volume of the noise but hoping when it's fully linked it'll be louder?

Currently have three different tread patterns on tyres due to retarded dealership. Looking at getting new tyres on it sooner rather than later...! Not sure what to go for or where to go to get them done, open to suggestions!

Planned mods/work:

- Decent tyres for daily driving and a bit of fast cornering and grip.

- Finish off exhaust system

-Full stereo system; as right now my stock system is an abomination of crap.

- Want to put in gauges, three of them in a gauge box like this:
Just want cheap ones that change colours, to look cool, not worried about exact accuracy

- Maybe "black out" the orange in my headlights?

- Was contemplating a wing spoiler. But don't want to rice the car up too much...

- Buy 2007 STI eventually and sell auto peanut.

Hopefully that wasn't too much of a read.

I've posted pics before but here's some again:






Give me some tips on my ideas or just some banter if you don't like automatics

Cheers,
