A true head turner & a real credit to you Gaz.

Just curious in terms of how long have you owned the car of the 10 years?

Tony, I've had it just over 2 years after having a modded bug wrx for the previous 5 years, It came into the UK to be sold but was kept for a while by the importer as he liked it having never driven a twinscroll before, It was eventually passed on and the new owner had it for 7 or so years until I got my hands on it, It was virtually standard with just an exhaust,3 port,K&N panel filter and a ecutek remap......and still is, I've only just started to play with it in the last few months really after keeping the OEM look for 18 months or so

How it used to look and how it could look again in a few hours

Agree with you there mate, they are fine if you wanna drive slowly and not go round corners very quickly... A different story if you want to drive it properly..Unless you are running tubbed arches with 500+ bhp then it's acceptable

nail on the head tubbs, no point fitting fancy suspension if you cant use it for fear of catching on the arches

Yes they are bathroom scales

Had to weigh them when I got the tyres off before refurb. They just felt so light
