Just bought my first subaru at the ripe old age of 32. Bit of a change from the barge ive had for the last year though. Spotted it last week, viewed it friday and picked it up friday night. What a drive home!
03 plate black wrx with plenty of goodies and im over the moon with it.

 

Welcome to Scoobynet

What's the goodies/spec?

Sti injectors, intercooler, rear spoiler and front winglets. Td05 turbo, mishimoto rad and expansion tank, multilayer head gaskets, perrin 3 port boost solenoid, hks dump valve, hks turbo timer, walbro fuel pump, exedy 6 paddle clutch, 3 inch exhaust, decat, k&n air filter, silicone hoses, compomotive mo wheels, boost guage and dvd player.

 

So I have a twin! Ha ha

 

Love it! Thanks fellas.

 

Mines just had a forged STI engine conversion

 

Certainly looks good in Black and gold!

 

That'll have cost a canny penny! This ones just had a bottom end rebuild. The only thing ive had a problem with is oily water in the wheel well. Hope its nowt serious, ive just cleaned it all out today and hope it doesnt reappear.

 

Cheers. I was looking at silver ones as a mate of mine showed me one a while ago with anthracite wheels which i liked but this sticks out a bit i reckon.

 

The previous owner just had it all done, had only done 50 miles on new engine so I've had to run it in lol. The wheel well in the boot? I'm sure this is a common problem due to a rubber seal failure?

 

Any idea which seal? On the boot lid or window? I havent actually searched yet i just cleaned it and see if it comes back. Am i right in thinking ur from the north east fletch?

 

i believe a rear light seal can also be a cause, lovely blob by the way

 

Yes mate I live in Durham, just noticed your in Sunderland so we are on each others doorstep

I'm not entirely sure about the seal mate? I vaguely remember reading it somewhere.

 

Welcome mate, and what are the chances of there being 2 identical? Freaky!

 

Welcome, nice car bud. 32 not to late to have some fun

 

This lives just round the corner from me (or did till last week by the looks of things!). Often admired it when im out walking the dog.

Cheers Ross.

 

Nice wheels, are the Comp Mo's???

 

Think ive sussed the leak. Spoiler bolt where the foam ring is. Think i'll replace with rubber and a bit of sealant.
Aye they're mo6's i think.

 

I picked it up last friday from northumberland.

 

That makes sense then as it's normally parked up on a night time but nowhere to be seen over the weekend. I live at the other end of the estate from where you got it.

It's a lovely looking car. The wheels are the softer spoked MO6, one of my favourites and really set the car off!

 

Does anyone know what standard boost should be? And also what is the bracket for just under the gearbox and propshaft at the front? Theres a bolt im guessing is stripped and ut rattles when hit with my hand. This isnt the gearbox mount is it? It goes under the exhaust and propshaft/gearbox itself.

 

Just saw this motor in the flesh. Nice to meet you by the way. Get yourself on here http://nesf.forumotion.co.uk also for more local users.

 

32 is a good age to buy your first Scooby. Like I've just done!

Nice motor! Some John Player Special decals would go well on that.

 

Black and gold rocks, nice.

 

Not a great fan of your headlights but that appears to be a clean and very tastefully modded car. Black and gold always makes me think "John Player Special" too.

With uprated power you may wish to invest in some brakes to match, if that hasn't been done already. A good fix is to fit a set of STI Brembos from a pre-widetrack Blob or Bug.

 

Cheers fellas. Jps colours.... i never thought of that! Yeah the brakes are a bit iffy but im looking at servicing the car first, then replacing te engine mounts with uprated one and ive looked into the godspeed big brake kit. I quite fancy that and will service both front and rear caliper sets with upgraded discs and pads for the rear. Theres enough power in the car for me for now so im just going to upgrade as much as i can with the chassis.

 

Nice car bud, those wheels look great in that colour.

Do you know if the car has been mapped those engine mods? If it hasn't I'd get it looked at sharpish.

 

Oh yeah its been mapped. I have a printout for 300hp but the fella i bought it of said it was 340 ish as the printout was off 2010 when the first owner had it. It runs well although im going to service it and look into a few upgrades. Id like to get it on the rollers to see what it is actually producing. It got away from my mates focus rs with a few tweeks so its quick enough for me........for now.

 

Yeah get it on the rollers it'll be worth it just to make sure that it's running well.
