No mate, I'm only gonna fit the centre and back box and will just do that when it's in for a service next Thursday.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah fair one.

 

[yeecup]

both look great. is the sti running the original 2 pots up front or have they been changed for the later spec 4 pots? might have to buy a classic as a weekend toy miss my old ones.

 

[imprezaworks]

I swapped my 8 pot setup for a set of four pots, find there is no difference and would say they are better as an every day brake. The 8 pots I would imagine would work well on track though.

2 pots! 4s won't fit under these wheels so would need later wheels before I got the brakes.

The brakes aren't the best but I find them adequate for road use.

 

[yeecup]

Ah fair enough, best keeping it original suits those wheels

Don't go any further than that, please!
Great car, great car combo.

I've got an MY00 classic and Ph1 172 - just need a rear wheel drive V8 to complete my ideal garage.

Thats it for the exterior. It's not too shouty when you see it in the context of the full car.

Enjoy. I never wanted an impreza, but it was the only good car in 10 cars that I viewed when I needed something quickly, cheap and fun when the clio was being rebuilt. I'll never sell it, such a great drive. As std it was pretty good and with a little fettling about for extra ponies it's just brilliant!

Love that sound!

 

[yeecup]

Sounds lovely. Shame I couldn't find the perfect classic when I was looking but I'll have another for sure such great cars

 

[realnumber 1]

Sounds sweet does that

Here's a picture of the rear with the new exhaust on. I think it's quite subtle for 3.5"!

[Mr R.]

Succumbed to pressure with the Paul walker sticker;

Just as well really. Looks better.

I'd have to agree with you.

 

[leeds_182]

Would a stick on 3/4 plate on the bonnet be too much?

 

[cat171]

Much better without the Paul Walker sticker on it.

Would a stick on 3/4 plate on the bonnet be too much?

Yeah that'll look sh*t!!

 

[leeds_182]

Ha ha ha.

 

[_Tom]

Exhaust looks great. Needs a jap rear plate. Normally I hate them but I reckon it'd suit yours being a now retro beast.

Also bought some cheap fog light covers with the intention of getting them painted. Cheap for a reason - they're shagged!

Clio is for the track. Really need to go fmic with these if you're gonna be giving them any long term hammer.

fmic???

 

[leeds_182]

fmic???

Sorry, front mount intercooler.

 

[Chi]

Learn something new everyday )

 

[imprezaworks]

Why fmic? Lots of peeps don't.

 

[leeds_182]

Why fmic? Lots of peeps don't.

Just what I've heard for constant track hammer it's better to have a front mount.

 

[imprezaworks]

I need to read more then lol. Personally would only look into getting a fm If I wanted the extra horses, which I don't, yet.....

 

[Bluebeard]

Please put the car on axel stands and polish the exhaust down to the rear diff. It looks ace if you're in a car behind and you can see lots of shiny big pipe.

(I've done it on all my scoobies!)

I should have really done it when it was off the car! The centre was super shiny as was brand new but the back box needs attention!
