The Impreza picture and discussion thread

[Mr R.]

Has anyone seen the youtube vid of the time attack scoob called the gobstopper?

 

[Bluebeard]

Yeah, that looks fast...

 

[imprezaworks]

Just an awesome car

 

[Gally]

I think it's the Subaru SVX 3.3 engine, andy himself has it in his drag car.

I think the RB is 3.6. I'm not sure what Andy's classic runs.

 

[Gally]

Ah it was indeed Andy, he's helped heavily as you can imagine.

 

[imprezaworks]

3.6 engine? Impressive

 

[Gally]

I believe so. The block itself from my understanding will cope with 1000bhp no hassle.

 

[Flat Eric]

Yes the gobstopper looks awesome!!!!

Geting the RS2 for the Clio soon but the itch to get a Subaru has been increasing more and more. Always wanted one and when I got to drive one a few years back I loved every second of it. Got to say Danial your Subaru looks brilliant but then so does everyone else in this thread. Seems like everyone in here has picked up a cracking one

Was just wondering what opinions are on this one that is local to me? (Crap Ad though and tints aren't nice IMO)

Looking for a cheapish WRX really and haven't seen that many for sale in the area although I don't mind waiting for the right one to pop up

on that note.... here are some pictures...

THIS IS NOT THE GOBSTOPPER (this is a friend of mines build), only a few photos as i am not sure how much should be shown

 

[Mr R.]

Fcuking hell thats epic.

 

[BLT]

Well I did think that was the case haha

Above white Subaru looks fantastic but think it would look better with some head lights :rasp:

 

[Gally]

I prefer the RB320 shape to the older one but that is epic!

Cheers

His reply was the ARB's made a big difference..

As for the pads, "s**t ones". Which he's managed to warp his discs with..lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah ok lol. Just spotted this rare bird

[Mr R.]

Sounds great.

I've been looking for a scoob for a couple of weeks and nothing really exciting has caught my eye. Thats probably because I am on a limited budget and for every good one there seems to be ten dogs!

Anyway, I posted some pics of this one a couple of pages back but got some more from the seller. Its a V2 Sti, standard with 89k on the clock. The seller wants top money for it but other than some laquer peel and fading on the plastics it looks pretty good.

Some pics;

Anyway, let me know what you guys think. Im hopefully off to have a look at it on Sunday with a view to bringing it home.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

The urge I have to camo wrap the BurbleBus .. someone tell me I'm mad :quiet:

 

[Herr Flick]

I love that saloon. You would be mad btw.

 

[Ray Gin]

 

[coleman]

Love that @leeds_182


No for the camo wrap, it looked s**te 10 years ago when one of the writers from max power did it to his escort, never mind now.

 

[Feates172]

No to the camo wrap from me. Your wagon looks good, that would ruin it.

Almost as bad a shopping lists IMO.

They love there scoobs north of the border!

 

[imprezaworks]

Going to get rid of my coilovers, driving me mad. Tried to adjust the dampening which is at the bottom of the strut and the bloody thing snapped off . I can get replacement adjusters but I've been offered a set of bilstein shocks with eibach springs which I may opt for?

Have you any other photos fella? engine maybe.

Looks clean and tidy. You still going?

Im in two minds to be honest mate. I've got the cash and was all set to go and then hpi'd it and I think the guy has literally just got it as hpi said the last owner had it since 2005. He's not got an invoice for the belt so that's got to be factored in as well which makes it an expensive classic.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah right. It's coming from a good home so to speak (the garage is well known etc). But like you say ref the belt it ups the cost

 

[coleman]

It does look immaculate.

 

[coleman]

You going for the Bilsteins Dan?

 

[imprezaworks]

Think so mate, what do you reckon? Have you seen my thread on sn? One thing after another lol, damn this 17 year old car, grrrr!!!

 

[leeds_182]

Ah right. It's coming from a good home so to speak (the garage is well known etc). But like you say ref the belt it ups the cost

Plus, if it was from said garage you'd have thought the owner would have had the belt done?

DO IT!!!
That looks f*cking amazing!

I'm doing exactly that when I finally retire the Dog Kennel to live out it's days on track.

 

[imprezaworks]

How longs he had it, may have come in as a px etc?

 

[imprezaworks]

DO IT!!!

That f*cking amazing!

It would look good for a day

 

[jay70]

Nice fella, its lacking the STI wing badges so the engine was the money shot for it being a genuine STI......Getting rare these especially in red, most are silver..
