My first Impreza - Red WRX
Well here she is, always wanted a quicker car and now were living closer to family I thought why not. So I sold my Touran and bought this. 2004 WRX, big cone filter, 3" cat back with big tip and a remap. I've got lots of plans for her including:
STi/Decat uppipe
STi Top mount and intercooler spray
Prodrive backbox and 2.5" centre pipe
Cobb style heat shield
STi spoiler
Front splitter
Rear diffuser
Red mud flaps
STi scoop
Carbon mirror caps
White alloys (not sure which yet)
Thinks that's all of my list .... for now
Got her home and gave her, her first wash. Wash, de-bug, de-tar, rinse, clay and another wash.
Let me know what you think.

Yeah 1st one mate, cheers. Id say about 260/270bhp mate, bought it from a dealer (who claimed 300bhp, no chance lol). He's chasing the previous owner for the print out and full spec.
. Don't see too many red scoobs about. Andy

Been gathering a few bits for the wrx, standard 2.5" centre section
STi catless uppipe, the question is do I get the heatshield re tack welded on or wrap it?
And an STi downpipe with 2nd cat decat pipe for the grand sum of £10.50

The swirls on the paintwork were really annoying me as from 6ft away the paintwork looked good but any closer and there were just swirls everywhere. So I took her to Shane at High Definition Detail in Barnsley. After a good 10hrs of work she looked like this;
