Hi All, I have finally been bitten by the bug and returning to a Jap car after many years of absense.
I have just bought a 2001 Bugeye WRX with 60K on the clock. Navy blue (sorry i dont know the real name of the paint). It is totally standard except for the exhaust i think? Here are some of the pics that i took while at the garage.





Looking to do the following straight away.

Get the goldish wheels re-painted, but unsure on colour yet
Tint rear windows
Fit BOV and Prospeed gauges

Other than that what would people suggest as a "first thing to change/mod"

All commnents welcome

Thank you

Thanks all, I have always been a fan of BOV's. Had them on my R33 GTR and S14a. Dont want anything that is loud and brash, subtle enough that i know its there thats all. Thew panel filter is a must i think. How do you rate the Prospeed gauges? where is the best places to go and get bits and pieces (websites)

Thanks for the welcome aswell.

Colour is dark blue mice, the best colour

Wheels will look good in an anthracite - goes well with DBM paint

Phew, that was a close one. I cant imagine the look off of the body shop if i asked them for dark blue mice paint. lol

yeah nice dark grey alloys, maybe 30mm drop and look out for a later STI boot spoiler. Never liked the classic spoiler on a newage. You might want a two way BOV that recirculates and or vents according to the adjustable spring tension.

Welcome to SN dude

Nice looking motor mate and welcome - as mentioned above get the side skirts colour coded as it transforms the look of the car

I think painting the skirts is also a must, only now i realised that its a classic spoiler i got. But i uess that it will do until i get my hands on a STI one.

If i could get a set of STI shockers and springs for £50 would i be doing well?

Thanks all for the kind comments
