The Impreza picture and discussion thread

[Daniel]

But everything has a price. If you bought a car from a private punter and it turned out to be stolen/clocked/ringer, what would you do? Nothing. Because there's fcuk all you can do.

If you bought it off a trader, you have rights, you can pay by credit card that fullly insures you etc etc.

In fact, didn't you have a problem with that audi multitronic and the trader paid for it?? (I may have you confused with someone else)

I did! The trader didn't pay for it and it cost me £2k.

But, I state again, I don't have a problem with dealers, I just prefer to buy privately.

D'oh.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

^^^^^ lol
I don't see a problem with traders, if the price is right etc.

OT: to any turbo boffins, been looking at a view YouTube vids of Sti's with dump valves blanked off. It sounds good etc but is it not healthy for the turbo? Isn't the air flowing over the turbo when it shouldn't be?

Forgive me for maybe sounding dumb etc

Personally i'd not want one blanked off - you get a great noise (normally like a loud flutter) but that noise is the inlet air rebounding back off the turbo blades, so a weak/old turbo can be damaged by this.

 

[imprezaworks]

That video sounds crap tbh you would soon get tired of that

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Obviously videos don't do it justice do they. I think it sounds alright but if it's going to f**k turbo up then forget that

 

[Daniel]

That's quieter than my car so I won't be doing that.

Still need videos / soundbites of your bus making noises.

[Daniel]

[Russ_16v]

Did he bite when you were up his trumper?

 

[imprezaworks]

Fitted my new ( second hand ) splitter today, makes the car look so much better

Noooo. I wasn't up his arse, what's the point, I don't drive like that anyway.
I love the rear lights at night too

 

[coleman]

Saw your thread on SN about the brake lines, sorted in the end?

 

[imprezaworks]

Any pics mate?

Stick some up on Sunday after the usual clean, miles better though

What a faff mate. Basically whoever had fitted the previous lines didnt do a very good job and tbh they are a tight fit even now. Where they locate on the chassis and then onto the strut etc there was little give when you turned the wheel causing them too rub hence the broken line, I also noticed rubbing on the drivers side too but assumed it was just one of those things with the car. New lines fitted, took a while and no more rubbing, speedo working as it should and took it for a spin on the way home from work, drives spot on and goes like stink . Will keep an eye on the lines but the mechanic who did the job spent quite some time making sure they were safe.

 

[coleman]

Glad it's sorted, you seem to be having a load of silly little issues don't you.

Anybody else enjoying this cold weather? My car is feeling silly quick at the moment with this cold air, although my clutch will now slip in 5th if it's cold enough outside, I must be on the very limit of what a std clutch can handle power wise.

New wheels arrive tomorrow!

 

[imprezaworks]

Just a pain mate and it doesn't help having not much time and mechanics in work who don't care lol. Will be using another guy I know in future, he's a good guy. Yeah cold weather makes the car come alive, it's amazing a couple of days without it made me miss driving it more than I thought. You looking forward to the new wheels then?

 

[Mr Plums]

I might go for this p1...

More looking forward to getting back onto 17's, although these 18's look good, they drive is horrible! The 225-30 profile isn't helping either.

On the way home from work tonight I decided to take the long way home and met a proper done up mcs. Gauges on the dash, big brakes, exhaust etc. I decided not to entice him as he looked a bit posh. By the second roundabout he'd fucked me off with his s**t driving so I tore him a new ass hole. Incase anyone doubted me, I f**king love my car!!! I haven't been beat by anything, even had a gsxr600 rider compliment me once we got to over a ton.

I heart scoob.

Pics please Dan
