04 Impreza WRX wagon

cheers lads. i wasnt even meant to be modding this one, i just got a bit carried away...

tried the wheels on today to see how they fitted. the fronts will need some smaller adaptors, but the rears sit pretty well...

Hi steve ,
Was this Glenn from revolution,s old car ??.( the saloon )

Just seen this thread now and I'm loving it,its great to see a car change so much.
I had a DBM MY00 wagon a few years ago running a forged engine and a 20G & loved it.
Well done mate...love the line I took a week off on holiday from work to mod the car lol.

this has got to be the best pic I've seen in ages

it is mate, my mate matty used to work there and bought it from them. its currently waiting on one hell of an overhaul engine wise...

todays update is...

so, the wheels were never gunna fit with the adaptors i had, so after talking to johannes at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] i got the 20mm adaptors machined down to 15mm for the front and ordered some 20mm for the back.

this meant grinding the 20 studs down on my car and and also grinding down the nuts themselves. although sounding stupid, all was done within what the car could tollerate, or what we believe it could.

i also fitted the downpipe and decat section to replace the one i had.

aswell as dialing in more camber on the rear.

im going back to get about 3mm taken off the rears to get them exactly where i want them, and am also getting the arches rolled tomorrow morning. this should get everything right out the way and stop and unwanted arch damage or scraping etc.

didnt get many pics from today as it was pretty full on. but, got one or two and washed it when i got home to see how it looked...

not edited to the pictures or anything. just pulled up and snapped.

then took the car to get a nice exterior wash and dry, so its looking good atm.

thoughts?

hmmmm looks good
wheels should be illumines white and get a night shoot done

Looking good mate. what coilovers did you get? any good? cheers

vmaxx or gmaxx? lol. seem spot on like mate, do the job well.

im happy i can pretty much stop working on the car now and just drive it and enjoy it!

Yes it lookes like it been off road more than on lol been worth it though. need to get started on mine sometime.

ther vmaxx mate av just gettin them on to

Thats the best wagon ive seen

Great work mate, can't wait to see it up close.you coming to meet Tuesday.

few small updates as ive been lazy and not done much! lol.

got a turbo nappy, spark plugs and some heat wrap to try and sort the cooling. keep the bay chilled!

spark plugs arent ideally located, but didnt encounter too many problems as i was doing it.

turbo nappy, well, i fitted it and took it for a test drive, but...

1. it was catching the steering rack something rotten and made driving it wank and...
2. it smoke heavily, which i wasnt told about, so i panicked and removed it. i have since learned, it will smoke when you first fit it, so, ill put it back on! lol.

car is running a whole lot better on the new plugs.

hoping to get the car up a height soon, to get the downpipe wrapped up!

im also thinking about vents somewhere... :/ which i dont like the idea of looks wise, but, the bay is just so hot! haha. want cold intake temps!

whilst this was happening, i got a tinted sunstrip fitted, just, for glare and what not, not really for looks. just had a few scary moments flying round a bend at speed and being blinded.
