Replacement for clio

[leeroybrown]

Well i sold the 182 and was very sad to see it go very sad. I have wanted an impreza as long as i can remember.

So i bought a MY 99 Uk turbo 2000 in mica blue.

Its running
2.5 inch open mouth down pipe rear 2.5 inch Decat and 3 inch tail pipe
Blitz dump valve
Cone filter
Turbo timer

 

[leeroybrown]

First job was to remove the silly blow off valve, scoobys really dont like them makes them drink more fuel, so i removed that and replaced it with the standard recirc dump valve.... much more responsive..
Also ordered some prosport gauges to a boast and oil temp one
They came the next day

This is a vid of what the look like when you turn them on and then off

Also bought myself some clear jewel front indicators all round first set came, awaiting the others

Also bought myself a bigger turbo VF 23 of a type r impreza

Also bought an unlocked ecu ready for remap, that should be here monday.

 

[leeroybrown]

Also need to fit rear decat

Also order an uprated walbro fuel pump to.
One of the front wheels on the scooby is also fucked so i have replaced them with a set of standard wheels.
Also booked the car in for some paint as it aint the best.

Not this time round no lol

 

[Beef-Mc]

Lot of work gone into this then.

Hope it gives out the gains you want!

 

[leeroybrown]

Still more to do yet bud

Not as much fun as the clio on the twisty parts at the min, but straight line fun is class lol

 

[Renault_Boy01]

looks awesome..good choice of mods!

 

[Coby.]

All Good except the size of the Exhaust IMO

Much perfer them with the smaller exhaust tip but they do Purr Beautifully

Nice car all round though

sweet

the moment i saw the subaru pic i had a list in my head of what you should do

and you seem to have done everything, even the pink i badge

 

[Batman]

looked like a bit of a crapper to start with mate its coming along though! i think some anthracite multispoke wheels on it would look good

 

[Adam]

awesome work

 

[leeroybrown]

Arr well research this time

What mods to get for 320-340 bhp

But useable power, big kick and massive push you in the back of street

It was made

Removed the stupid bits previous owner had on.

Goes, feels and looks 100% better and i have only had it 4 weeks

 

[Jay_clio]

why you got a pink badge? never undertand why people do it.

 

[leeroybrown]

Pink and blue go well together

 

[Batman]

i thought it was pink and brown?

 

[leeroybrown]

prefer the pink if thats the case lol

 

[R20 CWH]

nice collection of updates there.

looks like the spare cash generated from the swap is going to a good use!

 

[Ali]

prefer the clio! Clio must be worth more than the old scoob tho!?

nice pic of the pink bus! i wonder who took that shot!

 

[leeroybrown]

Sure is Ali......... but am not in it for the money

Eat my exhaust boy lol

 

[Ian_182]

Nice upgrade and nice mods

Did love your clio though

 

[Ali]

Meh! i go in style!

 

[rory182]

good effort, did you have it completely resprayed over the existing paint?

 

[leeroybrown]

Nice upgrade and nice mods

Did love your clio though

With out doubt the clio was one of the best cars i have owned, looks, performance etc

But i fancied something with twice as much power which lands me to the scooby

Will defo defo defo have another cup or even maybe a trophy

 

[MCC-182]

Good work mate, always had a bit of a soft spot for the scoobs! How much would you say the whole project has cost including buying the car?

 

[leeroybrown]

so far about 5200 looking to spend another 600 on getting it up to 340 ish

 

[leeds_182]

Thats not bad money for the power.

 

[Ally]

Like the changes from the first pics you posted, good choice of mods.

There's something I like about the older Imprezza's, shame most of them are chavved to the max. Yours is just right IMO.

 

[leeroybrown]

Cheers Ally

Yep alot of people do "Max Power" them to the max

Stick with a sensible receipe, good brakes, good suspension, keep it standard looking and you will always have fun

 

[cal46]

looking good , Not to keen on the rims tho look two small

 

[leeroybrown]

Going to change the rims, but unsure which ones to use

 

[Leeshez]
