Moved away from the 172, time for BOOST.

Picked up my new impreza wagon today, and it's completely standard!

Love it already so I'd thought it share it here. Has anyone had any experience with them?

[George@RTR_Parts]

I like that mate, looks very tidy

 

[Paul.M]

Looks awesome that, I love these.

Best of luck with it

 

[James28]

Giraffe has

 

[Ian_182]

That looks really nice.

 

[LiamR172]

Needs nicer wheels but other than that it looks good!

 

[Simon_16v]

Looks nice but watch out for head gasket problems, apparently the 2.5's weak spot.

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Thanks guys. I really want some Rota drifts for it as those standard wheels like abit crap. Ive ordered a forge recirc valve, so its nice and quiet for now

 

[gex23]

Tidy wagon!

Those wheels make me cry

 

[_Tom]

Good looking motor imo. Are these the 2.5? Whats the standard power?

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Tidy wagon!

Those wheels make me cry

LOL! I think they make the baby jesus cry.

Yes its a 2.5, which i think is around 230bhp.

Im going to have to drop a Thousand if I want new rota drifts with tyres :quiet: :dead:

 

[LiamR172]

Almost the same as my brothers. Get these wheels?

Please don't..

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Please don't..

Do you not like them, or just don't pay that much?

 

[_Tom]

Do you not like them, or just don't pay that much?

You'll just make it another chav'ed up Impreza. Put some thought in to it if you are going to change the wheels.

 

[LiamR172]

These would look good, in this colour

 

[Chip-mk1]

Great cars.

 

[leeds_182]

Is this the monster tax with it been at 56?

I love hawks. Would love a jdm hawk with the 2.0 in saloon form.

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Yeah its f'ing loads but that's the price we pay eh....

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah its f'ing loads but that's the price we pay eh....

True. One of the main reasons I went for my 05 wide track blob instead of a hawk (that and the head gasket worries on the 2.5).

 

[Jack!]

There's a silver Scoob down my road on OZ Ultra's, looks decent.

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

My best friend has oz ultras on his classical I can't with good conscience get those. There also v.expensive. Any other ideas fellas?

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

What do we think?

 

[Chris V6 255]

Smart mate! I ran a Forester STI for 12 months.

Epic car! Wish I still had it!

 

[coleman]

Revolution Milleiums.

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice

 

[Daz.]

Revolution Milleiums.

I love that!

 

[Daz.]

Apart from the flaps...

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Revolution Milleiums.

That looks awesome! Would love some of those in gun metal.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Wagons are heroic.

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Apart from the flaps...

I think Black flaps would be Ok

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Ok, so I've come to fit my recirc valve and I have to take the elbow joint of the stock unit and connect it to the forge one. Only I'm having real trouble taking the elbow off!

It's on so tight and I'm starting to round the Phillips head screws that hold it on.

Has anyone else had this trouble? If so what did you do, or has anyone else got any advice for me?

I know this is not a subaru forum (obviously) but I thought there's a few people on here with experience with these cars

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Jonny

 

[coleman]

If you're rounding the screw off, are you sure it's not a pozi drive?

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Are the pozi's slightly more pointed?

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Nothing to do with my car, but fitted these yesterday to my friends classic wrx.

All I can say is that ive never seen anything quite so ridiculous for a road car. Ever.

Anyway, check these out:

They are K-sport 8 piston calipers and 330mm two piece disks. Mega.

 

[imprezaworks]

I had them on mine (d2's, same as ksport) and thought they were s**t. Got good money for them though

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Oh dear! I wont tell him that haha. Your not that far from me ^^^ Do you know any meets around our way?

 

[imprezaworks]

Not really mate, not my cup of tea meets tbh, that and I don't get much free time. Don't get me wrong on track I would think they would work well but only with a decent set of pads, the pads they come with arnt very good to say the least.

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Ahh I see. Yeah there was some ds2500 as an option but they were over 200 quid.

I fitted a full turbo back exhaust to my wagon today, sounds mega and seems to spool up quicker too

 

[imprezaworks]

Decat? If so map time. A few go for the performance friction from asperformance, seem to do ok
