My new motor
Ok so its "only" a wrx but i am chuffed to bits with it. I reluctantly parted with my 330ci 
recently and didn't think i would be able to replace it but it has definately added a smile to my face.

Its obviously standard at the moment so i wont bore you with more pictures
Question is what to mod first......i have already started a list!
One last funny thought - the dealer was pretty good but as i was driving home i noticed in the rear footwell the dealers price board and then later on i found a bit of sausage between the passenger seat and the storage compartment
WTF is that all about? Couldn't help but laugh - dont think i want to know how it got there.
UPDATED!!
New pics of my baby. We have done an unexpected 10,000 miles in the last 4 months or so...the wallet has taken a hit because of it
. plus now i need 4 new tyres.

Sti corners and scoobyclinic spoiler and exhaust, plus some other bits inside.
So what do you think.....good or bad.

I knew i'd convert you & Laura to the wise ways of the scooby
Mmmm firstly that spoiler has to go & be replaced by a nice big one & then some nice 18's...of course i'll be at hand to help you spend your money
Just watch your post count increase whilst your bank balance decreases LOL No more stealth Scoobynet watching for you...just steer clear of the muppet forum otherwise you'll never get out

It was like an out of body experience, i could see myself buying one but was helpless in trying to stop it!!
I was just calculating what is left in my budget for immediate "enhancements"
defo spoiler and some 18's although the guy at the dealership said that pff7's can make the brakes look a bit tiny? could do with seeing some pics first.

yea i wouldnt get pff7's they really do dwarf the brakes unless you get the 330 prodrive brakes !
go for the p1wrc oz wheels 17's in anthracite they look ace especially with the prodrive springs to lower it a tad. mathch with black prodrive flaps if your a real show off!
sti corners for the front?

- Whiteline 22mm Adjustable ARB
- Solid Droplinks
- Mintex 1155 Pads & DOT 5.1 & Braided Lines

- Either PPP if Warranty a Problem... or:
- Full De-Cat Exhaust, inc Up-Pipe

Blimey that is a good price for alloys 
Problem is that you wouldn't have that exclusivity of something different if everyone is buying them. The wheels on my scooby i've not seen on one other car...& i've seen a few. They were only on the market for a couple of months
Saying that, if you like them...buy them No point in exclusivity if you don't like the wheels
