Rota Grid Drifts 18 x8.5 ( need a referb brought them like it) any ideas on colours would be verry helpful was thinking a anthesite, purple, white, silver ?

Mods to do:

new exuast ( cant seem to find these for the sports?) would a turbo one fit if i only wanted from the cat backwards?

Wotcha and welcome John - tidy looking car there - Black hawkeyes always remind me of the RB320 :wub:

 

Pete has just put gold rims on his black motor

and Ben is going for white so keep an eye on this and you will see how it sets the car off

Hi mate welcome to S.O.C 

very nice looking car shame about the WRX :( but we have many members that have had the same problem. But just because you have now signed up on here, you can get an extra 15% discount with our club insurance HERE  Doesn't cost anything so maybe worth a try when you're ready :) 

Nice looking car like Jay said I did think RB320 when I 1st see it :D

 

And more than welcome to sneak on the stand at Japfest we're hopefully doing both :)

Cool have to show us the outcomes of colour after PS

And will see with the booking mate for Japfest if it's castle combs one. Hoping to get it booked soon but might get lucky :D

car looks good, black is the best colour :D

 

the turbo exhaust is 2 1/2 inch pipe, but the non turbo is only 2 inch, you might be able to make it fit (yours will have a different cat/pipework due to turbo) but I think you will lose torque from reduced back pressure

 

yours also has equal length headers and no burble, you can buy unequal length headers for the non turbo to give it the burble though.......

I agree black is the best colour just a Tw@t to keep clean :) 

But the Subaru up until the hatch I love the WRC blue

cool thanks for the help, will into that, mine has burble not as deep as turbo, i think its going to be easier to find a backbox meant for a sport lol

yeah i like the black but is pain to keep clean, ill start a build thread and show how bad the paint was before it deatiled,  love the blue the car i wanted to buy was 2005 blob eye wrx in wrc blue but insurance killed that, dont why they i could get good price, 23 no acidents, no acidents, 5 years no claims, i think the fact i never had perfomace car scared them a bit

I find with most insurance it's 25 that they become a bit more friendly was with me anyway, so only 2 more year :) 

But I'd get a quote through our club just to see if it does make a difference if you hadn't tried before
