Result ☺

Drove it to and from the cinema!!

Got before and after shots of the spacers in this thread - only went for 20mm but they line up just nicely IMO

Wotcha and welocme - not a bad upgrade path at all - loads of extra luggage space

Wotcha and welcome - that is indeed a very clean motor

Wotcha and welcome - some parts are interchangeable some not - for instance there are differences in chassis and hub components between later WRX and STI models. If you have patience and do your respearch upgrades / mods can be had at very good prices check out Rollomites build thread he achived a huge amount on a very tight budget

Wotcha and welcome - feel free to get stuck in

not saying its a bad idea necessarily - just what will fit and what wont - I get the need to fill out the arches a bit hence why I went with the spacers myself Doesn't sound like STI rims will fit from the same year - consider spacers to fill out the arches from a width perspective and retain your existing rims £180 for all four corners (I recently learned spacers are sold in pairs) or go for new alloys with a bigger offset, in this case you could opt for a larger diameter also for a firmer ride and again aesthetics - either way feel free to keep us posted

not got that myself???

Wotcha and welcome - check the PCD to confirm but ill wager the STI rims will not fit due to having a different hub. My 08 sport has a PCD fitment of 100 x 5 I believe the STI has a PCD of 114 x 5 and as such the wheels are not inter changeable without an adapter plate With a smaller tyre wall you will get a slightly stiffer ride, potentially less lateral movement of the tyre during hard cornering should improve the feel etc. to fill out the arches on mine I have just invested in 20mm spacers - that is a possible alternative if you like the wheels and ride you currently have

sounds like a sensible approach - power to weight ratio and great chassis handling are great alternatives to big power

Wotcha and welcome - Some mods already completed - any plans for further work? Feel free to get stuck in all friendly on here

Reads well http://www.williamscarproducts.com.my/index.php?route=synthetic_coat I have used the silicon product they have compared the ceramic coat to and would agree whilst it gave a great shine finish the previous sealant and wax finish was a better solution - would be interested in feedback myself

You shouldn't have a problem - rusty bolts on both the STI I had and the current RX tended to be around the edge of the engine bay nowhere near the scoop airflow - apart from the bolts holding the scoop in place on the bonnet they rusted - I believe - due to the sound proofing blanket holding damp overnight

Wotcha and welcome ☺

Wotcha and welcome nice bug - as above filter oil plugs and check belt change, also consider fuel pump if not, done for 5+ years get it running top notch

Wotcha and welcome - standard cars can be found if you are patient - many will come with mods but it all depends what you want to do with it? Either way keep us posted

Result - half the original price you found

nice mods - sorted the handling as well as a little power dependant on what the issues are (as Ghost said) either post here or create a thread in the closest match section - The reason for the separate thread is two fold 1) it gets specific answers to questions and initially it will focus attention / increase visibility etc - it then may take on a life of its own and go off on a complete tangent there is absolutely no guarantee of staying on topic with this forum 2) This is the main one - it may help others who are suffering the same issues being easier to find not being potentially buried in an unrelated thread but the choice is yours

Wotcha and welcome - nothing wrong with the NA unit - we have a few members on here with sports, feel free to get stuck in and if you have some mods planned created a project thread and keep a camera handy

Wotcha and welcome - clean motor you have there - very nice, has it had any work done?

Wotcha and welcome - we have a few wagon owners on here so info should be pretty forthcoming, Matt has done a fair bit of work on his

Did they offer to do the diacs and pads as part of the deal?

According to Jap perf mag this month exedy were oem suppliers for subaru imps an fozzies 98 -01 so sounds like ded worth considering

Good luck with the sale - hopefully it will find a great new home
