marko72 Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) Well I never did get around to doing a newbie post when I joined up so with this thread I will do a 'Here is my car and what Ive doing wth it since I got her' type thread. I bought this My02 wrx in Dec 08. It is my 1st Impreza, always wanted one blah blah etc etc . I joined up here June 09. It would seem that I have succumbed to the modding bug, as you do, and it has been great fun so far. So here she is when I got her, in all her glorious megastandardness.... Right then, enuff of that, lets get the first basic mod done, up to Hypertech for a Hayward and Scott centre and backbox... Sounding a bit more like it should then. A bit after this I changed the side markers, repeaters and shoved on some mudflaps, Around aug last year the engine light was going on and off a few times, new neutral switch was fitted by Dunc. A nameless Sub dealer had indicated that my uppipe may have been on its way out, so i took the decision to fit some other bits and get remapped. Dunc fitted Hayward and Scott uppipe, 2nd cat pipe, uprated fuel pump, plugs etc, resonator box removed. Off I went down to Andy for a remap. Great day, good fun and ended up with an average over the 2 runs with 273bhp 300ftlb. The car was lively as, and I was very happy. More updates and pics to follow, early start tmw....

Midnight21 Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Nice where did you get your mudflaps? I want to fit a set on the wagon (must remember to add that to my wanted list lol)
Richie Cross Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Nice where did you get your mudflaps? I want to fit a set on the wagon (must remember to add that to my wanted list lol) Don't think you can go wrong with the performance creations flaps for £60 odd.
marko72 Posted June 2, 2010 Author Posted June 2, 2010 Nice where did you get your mudflaps? I want to fit a set on the wagon (must remember to add that to my wanted list lol) Cathy, they were from Scoobyparts, bout 60 or 70. Cheers. When are you getting the lowering springs Mark? See below Richie

marko72 Posted June 2, 2010 Author Posted June 2, 2010 Next up was to get my sills colour coded. Had thought about getting the twisty style sills but opted to stick with the ones on the car. Also had the front and rear bumper painted. and again more tmw
intergalactic Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Yes indeed. You getting your wagon yet? Not yet. Seen a few that I liked and was tempted by but not ready to buy yet, unfortunately.
marko72 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Posted June 3, 2010 Not yet. Seen a few that I liked and was tempted by but not ready to buy yet, unfortunately. You will be happy in the end when you get one, no doubt about it.
Richie Cross Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 You will be happy in the end when you get one, no doubt about it. This is true....because wagons rock!!!! Where were you tonight mate?
marko72 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Posted June 3, 2010 I had thought about getting new wheels or painting the existing standard alloys, but decided on getting bigger wheels which I thought would sit better. I had to wait a number of months for these to become available, but well happy with the result. Put these on a few months back. other side and one more for luck There was a bit of a different feel to the car at first with the bigger wheels. Now it just feels right, and its taking shape to where its going to go......
marko72 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Posted June 3, 2010 This is true....because wagons rock!!!! Where were you tonight mate? Yes Richies's wagon does rock ....and goes some too, you disappeared from me sharpish on wed nite....when duty calls Me and the mrs were on our way up but had to stop cos she wasnt feeling too hot. In the end turned round and went back home. Aah well, next time. Hope you all had a good munch.
marko72 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Posted August 2, 2010 Further update time. I have actually had a few thingys done since last time, cosmetic things but not gotten around to posting the pics. Firstly a HT Autos front splitter. Here it is on. And another. Thanks to Stewartyboy tha splitta fitta.
C_WRX Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) Nice addition the splitter, isn't it ! Coming along nicely by looks of it. just watch out for the kerbs now. (your bonnets up by the way ) Edited August 2, 2010 by C_WRX
mystery machine Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Very tasteful mods - just goes to show that a Bug WRX has the potential to be a great Scoob (not a fan of the standard car)
kewe Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Very Nice, the mods are subtle and effective, but will you give in to a big rear spoiler
scouk Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Thumbs up on the splitter I've been running with one of those for a couple years now and apart from the more agressive look it also helps on those 50+mph corners Any wider angled shots with the splitter on? P.s. I ended up colour coding mine.. BTW - How clean is that car!!!
