Seeing that I've finally gotten around to doing some mods that I've been thinking about for a long time now, I thought I might create a thread to show them off
Some of you may remember me as the guy who had a 2 month battle with Subaru Aust. mid last year after my big end bearing went (3 months out of warranty). To recap, I ended up getting a new short block & reco'd heads courtesy of SA & chipped in $1800 myself toward the labour. I'd always been a Subaru fan, but this experience made me seriously considered pissing the car off. In the end I decised to keep it & in hindsight I've very glad I did as I really love this car & with less than 10 000k's on the new engine it must be one of the best 3RB's (mechanically) going round (though i bet that will spur some debate)
So I'd always had in mind a few subtle mods, but felt that the 3RB is a real drivers car out of the box, so didn't want to jepardise the clean, crisp factory look & feel. I therefore wanted to keep any moldification OEM (Subaru / STi).
Year: MY07
Model: 3.0R Spec B 6mt
Colour: Satin pearl white (I think that's what it's called)
Modifications:
MY08 STi grille (aka JDM grille) - c/o Local Subaru parts department
WRX Club Spec 9 wheels (aka JDM Spec B wheels)- Thanks Mark (aka cruisn). Some might consider these wheels a step back as they were only released on the MY06 (or 07?) WRX CS9 in Australia, but I think they're sexy & look great on Libs.
STi Quad mufflers - Ebay
Fluffy dice
The mods are very minor compared to some other members cars, but I'm pretty hapy with how the car's looking at this stage & might even go as far to say that this is how Subaru should have sold them new
Only future mods I'm considering at this stage is an STi front lip. I did consider STi pinks, but the better half things "the ride's very bumpy" already - gotta love those Bilsteins 
Look forward to catching up with some other Sydney members soon!
Let me know what ya think...
