New Beginnings: 2007 WRX

This for me is a new era and yet a return to one of the things that made me...me. For years since 2008, i've owned WRX's. A few life changes occurred and had me re-evaluate myself, my family life, my career, just a lot of things. I'm finally at a point, to start back focusing on things that make me happy. So, enter my new-ish 2007 WRX. Super stock, 50k miles on it. I plan on making it a nice and fun daily with the occasional track event here and there.

Enough of that shit. Here are the pics:

 

Few changes made.

AllPro fixed the...mountain of electrical sh!t that the previous owner had created for his strobe lights. (Thanks Guys).

Hey saw you messaged me about trunks, dont think my messages are going through for some reason.

 

Awesome car.... Good job

 

Lowered and going wingless would set it off

 

Wow man nice job.look like a whole different car.

 

Looking MUCH better already!!

 

Congrats on getting the wiring mess sorted out. The car looks really good with those wheels on it.

 

that clean battery needs a tie-down before a track day or autoX

 

I saw this on craigslist. Wished it was an auto as I unfortunately have to have one. Glad someone picked it up. It looks worlds better without those chrome rims!

 

Still considering going with your trunk. I'm not sure how the paint would match up though.

 

And thanks everyone.

 

JMO.. but keep the park bench!!!!!!!!!

 

wow that looks great..amazing turn around!! Glad you you were able to make the changes to get you into this too!!

 

LONG list of changes still on the way. I think i'm going to make this into a hell of a daily.

 

The local TECH Chief approves of this message.

Nice turn-around on the car. I love that year.

 

Probably can use a set of fender braces and a good powder coated wrinkle black intake manifold...

 

I got some of them fender braces if you are looking for a set, Mine is being parted, mostly drivetrain and turbo parts left.

 

Considering installing these...hummm

 

Lowered looks so much better: added pics to the og post as well.

 

Large TMIC installed:

 

Whew who new front sway bar and end links installed. What a difference it makes to say the least.

 

One of my favorite mods so far for my car...makes it feel more like the car wants to be in the corners...

 

Updated the install list. New items (TGV Deletes, injectors, inlet, turbo, and tune) to be completed this week @ Allpro.

 

Yes sir rear endlinks and sway installed.

 

Oh Boy.

Looking great! It looks so much better with the new wheels you put on.

 

Thanks man, it has come a long long long way from where it was when I originally got it. I may be offloading it to get a 2011 hatch.

 

Transmission took a shit and the rear diff. LGT gearset into the case and rear diff installed.
