Bakerwrx Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Hey guys I'm Tom from Cambridge. Just bought a '57 plate impreza wrx hatchback in the rally blue colour. Completely standard for now. Only plans for it are to change the exhaust to make it sound like an impreza should do as it's far too quiet as standard and to sharpen up the suspension so it's not quite so boaty in the corners. Other than that I couldn't be happier with it :D. 1
GeoffLeggy Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Hey Tom! Cats and mufflers are for grannies :P ;) 1

Bakerwrx Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Salsa-king I am liking the mesh grille swap idea :D Bigbear007 I bought one of my last cars from fenstanton, a nice little black mk1 mx5 1
salsa-king Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 @£52 delivered you can either have it wrapped.. or rattle can it ;) HAVE a look at this thread... starts off like yiours.. but in silver... they have the STi open grille http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2577879&highlight=2008+wrx+hatch
Bakerwrx Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 When searching for bits for my car what is the model code for it? Gh? Ghe? My08? Hard to find a definitive answer anywhere.
Gambit Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I'd search for Impreza Hatch if on like eBay or my08 when looking but not easy to get parts for the hatch. I know 3 people local to me that have them though and have even had to get parts from the states :( I'd have a word with Alex on here he has done a bit to his car recently :D but probably be better asking in other parts of the forum mate. Not everyone as you can guess looks here :)
salsa-king Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 japanparts.com is a good site to use, just bare in mind Postage, vat and import duty. .... delivery times too you can save a few pounds though and least you now its proper stuff. 1
Bakerwrx Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 Open grille fitted. Started the de-chroming this morning and very happy with it (apart from the raw arms from fitting it of course, thank you subaru designers) 1
Gambit Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Nice I must admit I'm not a fan of chrome either
Bakerwrx Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 More dechroming. That nasty rear light bar is next on the hitlist. Spot the difference
