Every guy has the above in Sydney, the typical WankRX I call it,for wankers who can't fken drive and use it to circle shopping malls.

Tell you why not.

-Black, swirl marks, it is THE most annoying paint, no matter how hard you take care of it, it still mark VERY easily. It will always look dirty except of your one of those wankers that always cleans his car rather than learning how to drive it!
Its also the most expensive WRX too just because its black, also everyone who buys their first car wants a black one so there's a good chance it be thrashed too by a n00b.
It will be in a constant state of decay, don't belive me, go to a second hand car dealship and look at any black car close up even one 1 year old if not taken car of, will look beat up.

Also a black WRX is a super strong Pig-magnet and dickhead magnet, be prepared for trouble and not the fun kind either.

-Lowring, its more wank really, on a day to day basis you'll forget about it and smash off your nose or smash off your tail pipe reverse parking over a gutter, have $3K in the bank just in case.

-Rims, the stock rims look awesome and are rumored to be partically design with Rays enginnering, therefore they're light weight and better handling/cornering speed than most AFM rims.

-red paint calipers, your choice but be warned that "tire polish" will fade the colur quickly, mine are supposed to be black but are in light grey! Fine by me it match the paint!

-Exhaust more wank- extra ~3KW ATW and loss of some torque, $3K for a fart cannon, a 3'' cat back exhaust will also hang underneath the car, so a speed bump taken at speed and you'll smash it. I can understand the "boxer rumble", if your going that way look long and hard first. A fart cannon will attract cops and D***heads and hang down, so you'll get defected.

Just look long and hard, but be aware that everything has some drawbacks. Id still go for a bugeye but one unmodified of course and any colour except black! I love silver because it always looks clean even when flithy (ie its lazy), it reflects heat, doesn't attract attention, scrates dont show up as bad as any other colour and persoanlly I think it looks classy.

Mods you should do, take off the "WRX" badge, people will hassle you less. Also the stero is cheap, go for Clarion head unit and speaker swap.
I don't see how what I described could be considered as RICE or a WankRX - and they are definately not so common in black here. The most common colour in my eyes here in Perth would be silver or blue

The info on the paint itself is news to me, but good to know and I will keep it in mind

I would say the majority of WRX's are lowered without problems, and I wouldn't go over the top - just a little to enhance the looks

What exactly do you mean about the 'tire polish' for the calipers? If I get them painted whats the problem?

From what I have read most exhaust systems will gain you more than 3kW (ATW), but in any case I wouldn't want a 'fart cannon' - just something that sounds deep and mean

Thanks for your opinions though, could be helpful down the track
Talk to anyone with a black car, my friends GF has a black 206, she regrets having black now, only after 3 months!

No the tire polish that you use to make teh tires shinny, that attacks the paint on the calipers.

Some examples of what I'm taking about, here in crappy Sydney common as, driven by d-heads.

Typical P-plater mods the car and doesnt know how to drive.


Look at my shinny FMIC


See what I mean about it hanging down, looks stupid as.


Theres just too much going on, one speed bump and BAM! Actually if you got rid of the lower body kit it be ok(ish).


And the only one I found I acutally liked, a stock wagon!
