The Impreza picture and discussion thread

[coleman]

People thought the same when i had my PH1 up for sale.

But yeah its a bit expensive.

It's a local car, I remember seeing it for sale a while ago for around £15k, which is about right IMO.

25k is 22B and T20/25 territory.

 

[Mr R.]

You have a point.

Id rather a 22B.

 

[coleman]

Anybody would, look at the f**king thing

 

[Ray Gin]

 

[imprezaworks]

That much?!

I may be off the mark a touch but it's def more than £100.

Basically an impreza underneath it all. Really hard to find technical information about them though which is a bit annoying. Long shot, but anyone know what diff and gearbox oil I need?

Check out the external waste gate flames....

I will have a search for you, has your car got DCCD?

 

[C.J]

Saw this at Malton's BB earlier this year. You could hear it revving and popping from the other side of the industrial estate.

Nice one mate, but trust me I've searched hard! It doesn't have dccd, it is a constant symetrical AWD system. It's a 2004 2.5 sti, 280 bhp and has the 6 speed gearbox, and from what I've read it does have lsd's front and back. I think they have the suretrak lsd in the rear too but not sure. Not sure if the lsd's are sealed units, in which case I think regular synchro gear oil would be ok? Unfortunately, very very little info on them. May give Torque GT a call as they import a lot of them (including my one) so hopefully they could tell me.

Keep me posted if you find any info though. Cheers!

My forester came with the same Hella horns in the grill. Must be a Subaru thing!? They weren't connected so I took them off. I wander how loud they are?

lol, no I didn't see that thread! That seems to clear it up re the diff then. I knew what grade oil I needed but wasn't sure what type. It appears the rear diff is mechanical, not plate, so I know now which of the Millers CRX to go for then ie the cheaper CRX 75W-90 NT not the more expensive LS stuff!

Cheers mate!

 

[Mr R.]

Fcuk pulling up next to that.

No problem, I just assumed the forester was running the 2.5 engine and gearbox, now I know.

 

[Craig]

Wtf lol the flames on that.

 

[leeds_182]

 

[C.J]

Yep, that's the one. The flames were nowhere near that big on the day I saw it, but still bloody loud.

 

[RSteve]

That thing scared the sh*t out of me when it arrived at the Malton meet, I need bigger balls

 

[Jay.S]

whats the deal with the prodrive stuff on certain imprezas? Did it come as standard, optional extra or is it aftermarket?

Also how do you tell if a car is full prodrive, what does it include? Any benefit over standard, more bhp? Sorry for the noob question.

 

[Jay.S]

Infact google has given me the answers I need. PPP- Exhaust, inter cooler pipe & remap.

Would a prodrive car have anymore value over a standard WRX on the 2nd market?

Yes mate, I'd say so.

Just discovered my wagon has PPP which the guy didn't know about, what a bonus. Let's hope the Cert is hidden away somewhere.

I know nothing about imprezzas but I've seen this for sale on auto trader. What do people think about the price? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201507024849020

Very expensive. It's a nice late one but it's not low mileage. And it hasn't got any big money bits on it.

 

[imprezaworks]

If your wanting the Impreza experience it won't be with that car. I've not kept an eye on prices but it looks dear imo

 

[Starlet_gt]

Thanks both. I'll keep an eye out.

 

[Daniel]

Thanks both. I'll keep an eye out.

I sold this; (ages ago!)

I really want to bring my Impreza down to my new house. The garage is 2.1m wide though Don't think it will fit in. And if it does I won't be able to get out! Lol

 

[Jay.S]

Love gold wheels, would it work on a grey wagon though?

 

[imprezaworks]

Ask for a photoshop. There's a user who does it well but I can't remember his name, don't think he posts much

Hi.

Not sure if mine would fit though? ( @TheEvilGiraffe ?)
