These cars are by far one of he worst to insure

 

[Ray Gin]

Mine was surprisingly cheap (ish) to insure, near enough the same as my 182 IIRC (and living in N.I is like living in Baghdad to insurance companies).

 

[Ray Gin]

We're they on the car mate? Have you put pics up on here of yours? If not you need too

Sorry mate missed this, yeah they were on the car, no recent pics I'm afraid.

Really? I've found it to be very reasonable, and literally a third of the cost of insuring a similar spec evo!

 

[imprezaworks]

They have never been an easy car to insure, more so now with how much they don't sell for. Evo's are an obvious pita too, guess it depends on each person.

You need to get some pics up, stunning car.

Whats the most useable amount of horses?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Whats the most useable amount of horses?

All of them.

 

[imprezaworks]

Mines an apparant 300-320 which at the moment is fine

 

[coleman]

Never drove one with more than 350bhp, but I think you'd have to be driving like a right idiot to get out of shape. Maybe the odd 4 wheel drift off a roundabout but that's about as hectic as it gets.

 

[Chi]

Anything over 300 and the price per pound gets expensive

 

[coleman]

Yeah, a classic sti. You only live once!

Good man, got one lined up?

 

[coleman]

Have you been in one? Aren't you local to Imprezaworks? I think 320-330 is perfect power for a Classic shape impreza.

 

[imprezaworks]

It's not really that expensive though, not cheap either. Second hand bits up get it mapped and away you go


*disclaimer, make sure your brakes and all that are good too*

Yes been in Dans and loved it. That was when it was bust too. Need a test drive

I fitted my new splitter today.

I snapped my new splitter today. In three places. f**king f**k.

Going to have to fit the old one back on now, it looks naked without one.

You plum.

How did you break it !?

 

[Bluebeard]

There's a massive pot hole in the lane by work. As soon as the front wheels went in it, the splitter caught the non potholed bit if road.

It's not like I've smashed the bumper, it's only £190 so not the end of the world. I swore a lot though.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Ouch

 

[jay70]

That really depends on whether you're talking about Classic or Newage

 

[Flat Eric]

Gutted about splitter Daniel! s**t happens!

Still as fun as ever though right? All good then!

flol. You tit.

so you replaced a splitter because it's cracked and you cracked the new one! :lolup:

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah so fingers crossed its as reasonable at it seems to be!

 

[Bluebeard]

flol. You tit.

so you replaced a splitter because it's cracked and you cracked the new one! :lolup:

and now i'm going to refit the original damaged one. (After it's been repaired)

 

[imprezaworks]

What about a rep one or a second hand one? I opted for the latter in case this happens

 

[Dano']

I hate this thread lol, after my insurance quote today it's almost tempting...

Any one after an RBFF? Lol

jokes aside.. It's something to think about!

£190!! What splitter was it?

That, plus I had it painted. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Impreza-B...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item483c22e0db

I'm not painting the next one, it's staying matt black.

 

[imprezaworks]

Just had a little blast on the way back from footy, I forget how quick it is, just pulls in every gear soooo well

Apart from the silly extension on the rear bumper and the manky looking passenger seat thats cheap for a V5 STI....I dont know if it's the light but the front end looks a different shade of silver mind.

[imprezaworks]
