Hey guys, my name is Shannon I'm 19 and I live in Adelaide, Australia.

A couple weeks ago I made the upgrade from my 1997 Honda Civic, I am now the proud owner of a silver '01 WRX, I absolutely love it!
It handles like it on rails, and it has more than enough power for my daily drive haha.

What's been done to it;
-18" rims
-STi scoop
-front strut brace
-turbo timer
-exhaust

I do have some plans for it;
-fuel pump
-ecu reflash and tune
-front lip
-lowering springs
-sound system
and slightly tempted to paint the roof black

thanks for reading, and here it is!

welcome and nice upgrade!

Welcome! Nice car!

Very nice find.

If you can find a cheap set of the stock wheels, they look better than those IMO. Better yet BBS RK028 which were the optional 17".

You're so lucky to live where Subarus are made!

:troll:

I have never seen an Impreza with a BBS RK's on them here in Australia, at the moment im pretty happy with the way the car looks, a little lower and i'd be fine with it.

anyway, today i got around to putting most my sound system into it,
-Pioneer MVH8250BT headunit, with cutting of the fascia
-JL Audio XD700.5 amp
-JL Audio HO112RG-W3v3 sub

and on the way i have
-JL Audio C5650, 6.5" splits
-JL Audio C5525X, 5.25" coaxial speakers
and I'll use sound deadening here and there

It's been a while since I've been on here:

cars been tuned on ECUTEK 1.5 catless up pipe and 500hp fuel pump installed, made 165kwatw, 22mm whiteline adjustable sway bars front/rear along with the endlinks and been lowered on ZeroSport coils, also got Kuhmo KU31's put on yesterday

Have got cusco brake cylinder stopper/ HEL braid line and a vortex generator on the way!



Still have a front lip on the wish list, that shouldn't too far away

 

[mycologist]

Nice.

 

[Calvinball]

Vortex generator...is that that piece of trim that goes on the roof just above the rear window?

 

[Shannon.aus.wrx]

Nice.

Thank you

It is, haha I think they look pretty cool!

 

[Shannon.aus.wrx]

I dont post much on here, but anyway heres an update,

the way she sits at the moment, had it lowered again haha 1cm front, 2cm rear


and these will probably go in next weekend, pretty excite!!


All i really want now is a front lip, then I'll call it a day... maybe.

 

[Shannon.aus.wrx]

Another long time since an update... nothing much has changed...

from the above post, lights and horns, so bright, so loud!


these went in




which resulted with this


a track day at my local track here in South Australia; Mallala

i bought some wing lifters, some people hate them, i like them!


and roof racks!!!!


thats all till next time!

Looks great! You should consider getting your OEM sideskirts painted to match. I love the way your car sits and I think that would compliment your car's fantastic stance! Add front and maybe rear lip and she'd be looking meaner than ever!

 

[STI*NG]

Really nice!
