Nick's WRX

Post by 06EMInick »

Well the time came when I got sick of being under the bonnet and covered in grease... I decided I wanted a car that was as much fun to drive as the gem, but practical and reliable enough to be a daily driver... and this is what transpired.

2001 MY01 Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan, first of the Bugeyes...
3 inch Turbo Back Exhaust
Turbosmart Type 1 BOV
Wing Removed
Clear tailights :?
Lowered Springs
18s (ugly wheels)
JVC DVD & 7 inch in dash screen.
2 pairs of splits JBL splits
JBL 12 inch sub
750 watt Amp
Alarm & Immobiliser w/ turbo timer

She's got everything I need: cruise control, all electrics, alarm, comfy (stock) race seats and she gets up and boogeys. AWD is incredible around the bends.

Will get some better pics when I get access to a DSLR.

No major plans for now, just some cosmetics, clean up a few minor dings, some clear indicators and reflectors... maybe some new wheels :P

Hope you like it! I know I do!

Hi I'm Gene, and I'm jealous, i should also pipe down and finish my coupe...

And when have I ever said I don't like gems anymore? :P I just don't have the time right now, I have no doubt that i'll buy another in the future, just right now it's not viable and not worth it.

Thanks for the comments guys, yeh I can live with the wheels, they look worse in pictures IMO, and I drive it, I don't stare at it :P maybe something for the future...

Yes I am too young for a mid life crisis :P I just wanted the penis extension, the Gemini just wasn't doing it for me anymore :roll:

Trying to move out of home, need money for bed, fridge, microwave, linen, couch, bond, rent, internet, bills etc. etc.

I'll be keeping my eyes on carsales and the trading post, waiting for a bargain to grab me.
