new car (impreza wrx)

[Herr Flick]

well i know not all cs'ers are fans of subarus but here we go....

its a 1993 classic wrx with a back box and a dump valve with new age wrx wheels on and thats about it for now!

i am still in two minds to keep it yet as a few people i know have already offered to buy it
i paid £1750 for it and it came with a load of receipts (£2347.23 just on the engine) and all mots/tax discs which i thought was a bit of a bargain!!
i put £40 of v power in it the evening i got it and managed to get 196 miles on that tank until i bottled it (no fuel light), so thats about 26mpg which is much better than my old impreza (17-19mpg) lol

if i decide to keep it then i will aim to get it up to about 400bhp and sort the brakes and handling out at the same time...
first things on my 'keep it' list are:
full decat from the turbo, sisterboard ecu with custom map, bigger injectors, walbro pump,panel filter, custom induction piping from the fog light area, boost guage.

my employee needed a bit more training in the polishing department and the car was in a bad state bodywork wise, so i let him give the car a full body buff. heres some before after pics of it but unfortuently you cant realy see how bad it was in the pics!

AFTER!!

not bad for a 18 year old car aye???

I really like that, nice and subtle, paint the wheels black and go for the murdered out look

I just got an 18 year old car to not as fast though, just a celica

 

[gaz44]

Not my cuppa but it looks good!

LOL at the "nice and subtle" comment! Did you not see the spoiler?!

 

[Hutchie]

spoiler and the 5" tip on the back box.
i love these old cars and i quite like this, get anti lag running

 

[Daniel]

That spoiler is absolute comedy material!!

 

[jesus]

Just needs the JDM (?) rear lights and the facelift grille and that would be spot on!

 

[Herr Flick]

That spoiler is absolute comedy material!!

would you believe that actually came as standard on the sti's?? lol and its actually great for night driving! (stops t***s behind you with full beams on blinding you)

 

[.GAZ.]

You paid HOW MUCH???

 

[R20 CWH]

tidy for 18 year old. if you picked it up cheap id just punt it, cant imagine the chocolate engine liking the the 400bhp your planning

 

[Herr Flick]

£1750 why??

 

[pjsprojects]

Nice that, seems to have taken the years well.

As mentioned 400bhp is a lot for it to handle without spending far more that the car is worth on just the bottom end! I've got a preface classic running a dyno'd 359bhp which has had all the internals done on a centre decked block but its still pushing it.

Good luck if you carry on with it and the pockets to cope lol.

I like that, i for one love these scoobys.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Scoobydoo ? What kind of idiot would buy one of those...

 

[Greeny.]

I like this minus the grill, can that be changed?
