Impreza Hatch Sti

[-Dan-]

Just thought I'd give an update as its been awhile, I sold my last Impreza 21Months ago to try a different type of car but I ended up getting bored again so have gone back to the Impreza but a different kind this time

My previous Impreza Sti (I'll update this when I can find the whole engine build spec)

My E92 335D
KW V3 Coilovers, M3 Lower Arms, M3 Brakes, M3 wheels, Hybrid Turbos, DPF Delete, LSD
386HP/730NM

And now my current Impreza Sti might not be to everyone's taste but they have really grown on me personally

2.5L fully forged cosworth internals, Forge CAI, KW V3 Coilovers, Milltek Turbo Back

400/411

Love it

 

[Philip.]

All 3 cars look stunning, love a good Impreza hatch though.

 

[Scrooge]

Impressive!

 

[Herr Flick]

Love that. There are very few 'hatches' that I like but ones like yours look the nuts..

 

[Mr R.]

Very very nice bud. [emoji41]

Cheers mate, I was looking at the Spec C Hawkeye but i went to view this on the off chance and I was sold

 

[Advikaz]

I'd imagine it goes well with 400 brake

Very very nice bud. [emoji41]

Thanks Scott, reading through your Bugeye gave me the idea to do an update!

Can't beat a JDM next year I think for me, I'll get the Hawk either litchdield T20 or just a normal Spec C

 

[Philip.]

This has got me looking at Impreza's again now! :smirk:

 

[Lal B3N]

That looks great! Bet it flys.

How reliable was the 335d?

Very reliable never let me down, only problem I had was the thermostats but that cost me £100 and a few hours on the drive

 

[_Tom]

[Stefan.]

[Willo40]

All three looks the muts nuts mate.....:up:

 

[BGEarles]

Looks mean!

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Love the Hatch, they look so mean! well that one does at least!

 

[-Dan-]

The colour makes such a difference, IMO they don't look as good as previous models in the WR Blue, it's got to be grey or white for me!

I was also eyeing up a Type R JDM but it was just way to raw to be used as s daily, where as I've got the Clio to be my bit on the side so didn't really want 2 very unpractical cars

 

[Matt W]

Love these hatches.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Hated the hatch when it first came out, but they can look really good in STI form, and this one proves it.

Not into the big power though personally.

  I dont chase big power really but I like to have them so there usable for track and can be abit of fun.
  
  My blobeye was running 380hp on the 2.0l engine, but then decided to buy a 2.5 lump that had piston failure and I forged it
  
  Got that running 550hp with a Garret GT35 but that was ridiculous I'll dig out all the spec when im home from work

 

[Mr R.]

Sound's expensive bud.

I'd like mine to run 400bhp, I still want to keep the top mount.

It's only a toy so I'm guessing 400 will be plenty for the road.

Think the engine set me back about £5000 in all, still got it sat on a Pallet still undecided what to do with it.

400 is plenty and is on the max for the top mount all that's keeping my hatch back but I don't want to go that route again as I don't like the look of front mounts and it ruins the engine bay!

400. Cute.

 

[Knuckles]

That is gorgeous!

And you don't half dislike slow cars do you lol.

I had no idea 335Ds could be so powerful!

 

[jesus]

Nice car history love the Impreza hatches.

 

[Mr R.]

400. Cute.

Not as cute as your misses. :hearteyes:

Cheers mate

Nope i don't do slow

Those 335d are massively underrated cars, in standard form with just a remap and a DPF Delete you will see 350hp and 690nm while still getting 58mpg on a run! no one believes me on pages like this but it would kill an M3 as there engines are so lazy low down being a V8 i had 730nm at 1250rpm all the way round to 5000rpm

 

[Herr Flick]

Do you mind saying how much you paid for it and how old/mileage?? Might buy my misses one when we get rid of the atrocity that is the Qashqai.

 

[Knuckles]

Cheers mate :smile:

That torque must be comical even in the dry.

How did it do to get the power down? Did it wheelie?

No problem, I paid £10,800 with 60k on the clock and its a 2008 plate

It was amazing! That's why I had to get a LSD as it was a nightmare!

Even that didn't help much, it was literally getting through a set of rear Michelin pilot super sports in 3k miles

 

[adamlstr]

Love a good Impreza hatch though. :smiley:

Yep, snap.

Lovely car, don't think they need 4 tailpipes though. 😂

Pocket change for the German.

Flol!

Great work!

I was the same but looking at picture they just don't look right with a big jap can on 1 side in still trying to decide as looking to get a new system for it

Wish it was for me
