hey dude looks like you have an "ST" model there!
hmmm.. 3SFE powah! 
well the stud pattern is 4x100, not sure about the offset, somewhere around the 37range I think.. might be printed inside your door.
looks like you got yourself a pretty good deal there though.
I was thinking, "dude, if you like THIS car wait dill you drive an SX"  glad you are liking it mate, the handle great and are STACKS of fun around town...

no more likely to scrape on the guards, ST162s have a 38mm offset, of you put 45mm offset WRX wheels on they go to deep and scrape the strust, so 20mm will be shallow and will stick out side the guard, spacers can't help you.
I know what you mean the coupes aren't too bad they look good when done right, like that one you have got there. but they are only 3sfe engines, with worse brake setups. that don't really match the 3sge in the SX models, maybe fix that, put a 3sge in and get all round disc brakes, brilliant, but that would cost a bit.

Yeah stud pattern is 100mm not sure about offset (but i should, why?) I don't know if i would buy it, but it looks like the chassis alright, so it could be fixed, except i would prefer a straight body.
But other than that it looks like a pretty clean car, so there's heaps of potential.

Whats wrong with a 3sfe Rob huh? nah JK 
Your right though, SR_TWINCAM took me for a ride in his beast the other night (cheers), and there IS a little bit of difference, it's got a fair bit of pull the old 3sge. Very comfortable ride. We also matched up my car to his.
3SFE 0 3SGE 2 Damn redline at 6000, bah! Wait until we have
3SGTE VS 3SGE hahaha

lol that is a fine looking coupe though dude!
done right they can look quite attractive and yours does.
even if you spent 2k on repairs, you could probably get your money back easy
and the SX didn't come in the coupe

Yeah man as i said previous that is a good looking coupe, if you like coupes, you may be best to get that one fixed, considering you are still on your L plates that will be a fine car for you for a while, those other things i said about the swaps, you'll probably want them oneday like in a few years, or maybe not at all.
also insurance would be cheaper for that car you have than it would for an SX.
Its a damn fine coupe though man, if it only costs $2000 to fix that would be the best course, cause to get a good SX will cost about $4000-$5000.
i say fix that one. my 2c.

6000 rpm huh, always wanted to know when the 3s-fe redlined. The coupe looks nice (on the non-dammaged side, i think once fixed and with a 3s-gte would be a very nice car.
