WR1 Owners Club

Thought I would put my car into the garage section.

Well I picked the car up just over a month ago now and although it was pretty much in standard form apart from the front grill being powdercoated black I decided to add a few subtle mods:

First mod was a Zero Sports induction pipe which I bought from Audio Fusion on here.


Next on my list was to replace the STI badge on the front grill as the previous one had gone walkies. While I was about it I decided to go pink!


Mudflaps were also added and highly recommended they are too.


A new battery was needed too as I only drive the car once on a Monday and again on a Friday it was always dead. I know this has something to do with the Tracker so I forked out for a new one.




That's about all the subtle mods I have planned for the forseeable future although I do like the sound of Anti-Lag.........................

tidy lookin car mate,
bet it doesnt stay standard for long! enjoy

Just fitted a Green Group N panel filter and can say that it does make a notable difference.

Just had my MOT, straight through no problems.

Great news Huzzy your is looking well nice i put mine through mot 3 weeks ago and emissions were not good C O level was ok but there was 1 of the 3 reading that was high ? he said it was the cat not working so i took the cat off and remapped it lol i will put a second cat of ebay on aswell as the sports cat for next mot but i did have a de resonated centre section ? not enough pressure on the lambda sensor ? who knows ? but i will strangle it to death next year for mot day lol

Does anybody know the part no for the bolts for the header tank as mines are rusty

Hi Huzzy your car looks really nice mate you should be proud. I really like the WR1 mud flaps you have on her and was wondering where you got them from mate cheers. Ray

Cleaned up under the bonnet by removing all the stuff attached to the underside of it and also fitted a resized number plate after seeing all the ones on show at the P1 do!

Looks alot cleaner now.

Just a front splitter and a strut brace to fit and thats about all the cosmetic work I have planned.

Starting to save for my next car then!

Been out taking a few shots tonight after cleaning it for 3 hours:

New splitter went on today from HT Autos, also took the pink Impreza badge and STI badge off the front............less is more I reckon.


Suits the black grills as well.

Looking very nice Rob The spliter realy suits the black grills and sets of the frontend Be carefull of the curbs / multistorey carparks and speed bumps lol how about detango ? and even blacking the chrome headlight insides ?

You know |I'm abit slow to do all these things Ian!! Still got the exhaust to go on yet!

Gave the car a good clean and polish this morning and fitted some fog covers. Looks alright I reckon.

I like the splitter and have thought of getting one myself.
Have you had any issues with speed bumps etc yet?

I was abit reluctant at first about getting one because of speed bumps but I went into a car park the other day and it was a one way so I couldn't get around them. It went over them fine. Finishes the car off I think.

looks very nice

Looking very nice Rob you must smile every time you look at it have you pulled the fuse on the fog lights ? or is there no problem with them being on under the covers ? don't turn them on by accident my car is 5 mm lower than standard and i scrap some speedbumps and carparks i have cracked it on a curb aswell but it repaired great with some superglue and fibreglass on the inside i even repainted it due to many scraps were did you get the red sti badge on it they sent me a silver and black 1

Haven't pulled the fuse, I'll just have to remember not to put them on! I got the pink STI badge off eBay, £2 I think it was. I got the idea from Roy when we went to the Prodrive do, cheers Roy!

Well where do I start with what I've done this weekend. Went to the in-laws this weekend and he is abit of a car nut so we decided to get the overalls on and do a few bits and pieces.

First job was to get the car into the garage as he's got an inspection pit. Once in and underneath we took the exhaust off and fitted a Hayward & Scott, MY GOD IT's loud!

He then commenetd on the diff, there is a sensor that goes into the diff and it looks like it could be easily damaged when reversing so we decided to make a diff guard, the man really is a genius. Better than spending god knows how much from Prodrive for exactly the same thing. While he was making that I Waxoyl'ed underneath the car as it needed a bit of protection.

Next up was the engine, I commented to him how the only thing letting it down was a spot of rust on the header tank, no worries and 20 mins later that was all painted red, while he was there he decided to have a go at my Prodrive battery clamp, Prodrive is engraved on it so the engraved part was also painted red.

Next up is just the detango on the head lamps and I think the car is pretty much there.

I'll add a few pics this weekend.

Looking forward to the pics!

Well here are the pictures as promised:

Homemade diff sensor guard


New 'zorst


All cleaned








Prodrive battery clamp 'colourd in'


Header tank painted, not sure if I like but it hides the rust.

Car looks great... just one question though...

Why did you get a car battery from HalFrauds???

I know, I let the team down. To be fair, it's not a bad battery!

Not sure if this works:

Lovely exhaust note Huzzy!, trainers aint bad either!

That exhaust sounds nice, not too loud but an improvement over the Prodrive one

Haha, I must have looked a right chav, to be fair though I had just finished cleaning it and took my overalls off and went for a drive.

I was waiting for someone to come along and chore your camera
