The Impreza picture and discussion thread

[coleman]

I really need to park mine up and not use it everyday, try and make it feel special again if you know what I mean, I spend most of time driving around the local town with my job and spend alot of my day sat in it, so the novelty of it quickly wears off.

Understand completely mate. It annoys me sometimes, hard ride, crap on fuel etc, but when in the mood it's awesome

True, I give it a blast one morning this week, cold dry morning and f**k me it was flying! I remember just laughing to myself about the power it has mid range.

 

[imprezaworks]

What spec is yours?

Looks a veey nice series one and the kind of car which if left stock will be worth more than the modded ones.

 

[imprezaworks]

Love that!!

 

[yeecup]

a peach! http://bbs.scoobynet.com/subaru-444/988886-subaru-impreza-sti-v5-jdm-import-big-spec.html

 

[imprezaworks]

Very nice, not sure its worth that though. Im guessing you are 'mr hat' on there?

 

[rctempire]

Oh so many nice scoobs in here. Shame the interiors are so bland, really puts me off them.

 

[imprezaworks]

What, put you off buying one bad?

 

[rctempire]

Id love to own one, just never have had the chance. Just each time I see the interiors it makes it seem less special than what it should be regarded as.

 

[imprezaworks]

Then you miss the point when buying an impreza or evo then.

 

[rctempire]

The point to me is about the outside looks and the potential they have power wise.
Inside just lets it down, personally.
Id still own one if I have the chance too.

Went to reading last night, didn't drive like a complete bell end, but I did explore the power shall we say.

150 miles absolute tops, £60... FLOL! You can actually see the fuel gauge going down when you're on the motorway.

£60 of vpower at £1.38.9, doing 150 miles, anyone work that out?!

 

[rctempire]

According to the internet.
15.68 MPG
40p per mile.

Jesus that's bad. I remember getting fed up throwing money on vpower in my last one and yet I still want another

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Yeah.

You've got a lead foot or a lot of speeding tickets coming your way

f**k I! What is it you have now Dan?

I got offered this in px for my TT recently..

I'd have may considered it if it had good power. Sadly its a 225..lol!

 

[cat171]

I'm not that keen on that one, Colshe's one looks nice (for a chav car lol)

Yeah I'd be better off with the TT.

Just seen Dans on the previous page. Better pics and spec required..

What's a non turbo like to own? A 1998 to be precise.
It would be a daily doing 60 miles a day, mostly motorway.

Obviously it's not going to be as quick as a turbo but how different is it? I've got a 172 cup at the moment and was wondering how it would compare?

My mate had one. A 1.4 clio would be quicker and more fun. Plus theyre just as bad on fuel as the turbo's..

 

[Martin.]

I don't know much about Scoobys but would really love a P1 at some point in my life. Are they reliable? Or money pits?

That's all I needed to hear, thanks!

 

[Ray Gin]

Yeah I wouldn't bother with an NA one, especially with the prices you can get a UK turbo for.

engines prone to letting go, most have had rebuilds, best to get one thats been rebuilt by a reputable specialist with some nice upgrades. other than that nothing to worry about. lol.

 

[yeecup]

pricey rb5. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...e-ppp-low-mileage----------------1999/1822631

Imagine a stripper who kept her kit on, probably like that. Disappointing.

Is that down to the MAF sensor not being replaced ?

On the subject of TT's, this is a real beauty

[coleman]

What spec is yours?

Nothing too silly

VF28
STI top mount
Harvey Smith headers and up pipe
Scoobysport exhaust
Bob Rawle remap

Probably 300ish BHP.

 

[.Steve]

Proper feeling an impreza at the minute, think come renewal I may shop about. DTM cars (a trader on here) have a rather nice blobeye PPP wagon up atm!

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice, not a mad spec. I was going to ask if you had any plans but your selling up?

 

[Bluebeard]

According to the internet.
15.68 MPG

HAHAHA!! Yeah, maybe I was driving like a bell end.

I'm going to get it serviced, 4 new tyres, 4 wheel alignment and then punt it on I think. I'm going to end up with points or even worse a ban. The temptation is too much!

I'm glad I did it though, it's a bloody brilliant car.

TBF mate, I managed to get nearly 300 miles on a full tank (mainly motorway miles) in it so IMO it's not that bad. Sure you haven't broken it??
What splitter you got then?

It didn't feel broke when I was trying to get it off the speedo last night....

A replacement (I think!) of the one that's on there. I was going to get it repaired but it's mullered! lol

 

[coleman]

I can't make up my mind what to do with it, knocked back a offer of £4.3k last Friday, got tempted by a local blobeye WRX running 360bhp, but still undecided what to do.
