The Impreza picture and discussion thread

[yeecup]

would anyone like to buy my ph1?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yours will sell easy peasy. Get a deposit down on that ra

 

[Flat Eric]

They are proper thirsty when giving it some though aren't they. But the noise and fun makes up for that.

One day

 

[Ray Gin]

TBH, everyone should own one at some point. I think you should all go and buy one. Now.

 

[imprezaworks]

You still enjoying yours?

 

[Ray Gin]

Love it. Can't wait to buy my own place though, need a garage!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah i'd love a garage, got a drive down the side of the house which keeps the car out of sight.

 

[banther]

f**k this thread.

Now I want a wagon

Ph1 or scoob. Hmm.

 

[imprezaworks]

I blame this thread too. Scoob.

 

[banther]

Looking through here looks like I can have a decent enough one for £3g. Don want to splurge bare amounts of paper on one.

I dont really know why I want one. But I DO.

Are they easy to shift on? TBH quite tempted by the one close to Scott - 1 owner FSH etc.

 

[imprezaworks]

Only as easy as any other car of that type mate. Loads of abused ones about, but people will pay for a good one. Some of ones advertised are seriously lol.

 

[Ray Gin]

Buy on condition TBH, I took a taxi, 2 buses and a plane to get mine, lol! Purely due to the poor condition of the examples near me.

Seriously good? Or abused?

Yeah not worried about travel mate.

Got an afternoon to myself - PH, AT, Scoobynet it is haha

 

[imprezaworks]

Seriously bad, i would post links up but im in work. They have fallen into that bracket where people who want a fast car have no idea how to look after them. Years ago these used to be somewhat of a car to aspire too in terms of performance, now any dick head can pick one up for sub £2k and drive it through halfords blindfolded with lashings of glue all over the car, picking up all sorts of crap along the way, shame really. Be prepared to pay for a nice one and you will know when you enquire wether the guy knows what he's on about.

Ive read that back and if i was to convince myself to buy the one im interested in that would be it

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Banther - the one Scott posted up in "London" - silver wagon with dodgy wheels - If you want me to go look at it, assuming it's close enough, I will. Looks good on paper anyway.

 

[banther]

Yeah thats the one.

Very kind offer mate - I spend 2 days a week in London anyway mate so no issue to get to for me.

TBH it was your scoob at CSS 13 that got me thinking.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

TBH it was your scoob at CSS 13 that got me thinking.

Really ?

Where's that one located then.....? Where are you when you're in London ?

 

[banther]

Either Fulham or my rents flat in High Barnet (not really London). One of my best mates has a Blobeye (?!) and had a few classics. He spends his working week in town so can easily go for me.

Wheels etc. can be changed - 1 former keeper and FSH is what attracts me. I'm a serial car buyer so need to be able to shift it when I get bored. (for ref; http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...page/5/radius/1500/postcode/rm188jq?logcode=p)

Yeah - I've always loved estates / wagons. Yours tipped me over the edge haha. Never saw a clean one in the flesh, before!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Clean ? It was hanging. Certainly didn't bother cleaning it before CSS lol ! Frayz had the suds out as he got there. Mental dedication haha.

Yes indeed - those wheels are awful but they could be good sprayed matt black with some winter tyres glued on

 

[banther]

Looked clean enough to me!! Although I only saw you in my rear view mirror and in a Sainsbury's car park haha.

My thoughts exactly.

Hmmm - gonna give him a call.

 

[Herr Flick]

Hmmmmm Seems a good price...

hahahaha good point and nice find with the engine Q post...I'd steer clear though, that sort of mileage car will need loads changing to make it nice

 

[Herr Flick]

Shame tho, Seems a really nice car and has lots of goodies that even if the engine broke you could make more by breaking it.. Lol.

 

[Herr Flick]

His response,

I had a problem with it a while back but turned out to be my td04 was tired when the mechanic check it... since the new Vf34 has gone on its been spot on

 

[trails]

Hmmm...I'd be a little alarmed based purely on the "Pro Drive Suspension system" WTF is that and who the fook are Pro Drive?!?!

 

[trails]

His response,

sounds reasonable...

 

[Herr Flick]

I don't get it? Lol

 

[trails]

[FONT=&quot]Probably the most famous rally prep company in the world and one with very well publicised links to Subaru, including a number of special editions and the only factory authorised power update; Prodrive not Pro Drive...semantics perhaps but he should know that.

But what I'd really like to know is WTF a suspension system is?! Struts, springs, geometry, drop links, ARBs...what does he mean? [/FONT]

 

[Herr Flick]

Lol. Got you. Thought you didn't know what/who Prodrive are.

Could just mean struts/springs etc.

Will find out.

 

[trails]

nah, I'm a subaru bore...but only learnt stuff through working on mine and others cars so useful knowledge

Be interested to hear what he says...then I may be able to tell you if it's BS or not

 

[Herr Flick]

He didn't know why he put that lol. It's just got the PPP suspension on it.

Sounds genuine tbh. He wants more power and he knows the WRX isn't the car for that so he has just bought an EVO.

Going to have a look later. 4 previous owners, 2 keys and lots of receipts/invoices etc.
Will try and get it for £3k. Just wish my bloody V5 would turn up for the ST.

Hmmm...no such thing a PPP suspension iirc, Prodrive did offer springs though...so still on the origional 113k old struts and other suspension componants?
