The Impreza picture and discussion thread

[Herr Flick]

You're the best painter in the world.

that is the best and only true thing I've ever seen you write.
Wanna go halves on the type r?

 

[imprezaworks]

Any pics of said r?

 

[Herr Flick]

Nope. Keeping all schtum until I can look into it it more.
Its a friend of a friends dad who has had it locked up for circa 2 years

 

[JJ!]

My old beasty about 12 years back now!

 

[imprezaworks]

I remember seeing that advertised ages ago iirc?. Edit, looks stunning too.

 

[leeds_182]

Nice bay.

 

[Ray Gin]

I need to get mine up on the ramp soon, it's all over the place above 70+ in a straight line, shocks seem the obvious culprit, although they haven't exactly covered moon mileage. :dapprove:

 

[coleman]

Front or rear drop links my money is on.

[Flat Eric]

Look good though

http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/288853/subaru_wrx_sti_pictures_leaked.html not sure if i like that

 

[Herr Flick]

Looks like a fresher version of a evo X.

 

[r0ss172]

Looks a bit like an Evo 10

 

[imprezaworks]

It does, I like it

 

[Bluebeard]

http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/288853/subaru_wrx_sti_pictures_leaked.html not sure if i like that

Mondeo front end, Saab 9-3 aero wheels, and a toyota avensis boot lid.

 

[matt91]

i weren't sure if it had either a bit of evo 10 or focus front end, not a fan of the back end of it me

 

[Gildstar]

Probably going to get told to join scooby net but ill go for it anyway, if anyone has owned/own a hawkeye mind giving me a heads up

Planning on buying a hawkeye sti the R32 is to tame, what should i need to look for and does the hawkeye 2.5 have the same engine issues as the new hatch and saloon?

 

[yeecup]

My first scoob up for sale. Shame it wasn't 4 weeks ago I'd have bought it back. Loved this car, great spec and mint http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/subaru-impreza-uk-turbo/1044062027

 

[imprezaworks]

Very strong money tbf

 

[yeecup]

It is. It's the same money I sold it for 6 years ago, lol. I'd say its worth 3500. Has Leda coilovers, big brakes, circa 275 bhp etc it's what I was looking for

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks nice, I'm sure someone will snap it up, if he drops the price a touch

 

[yeecup]

Also iv got strong affiliations with that car. Brought my son home from hospital after he was born in that car, remember it well, slowest I ever drove it.

 

[imprezaworks]

Good memories mate. How did you come accross it, just browsing?

 

[yeecup]

yeah still browse the classifieds when im bored seeing whats out there and stumbled across it. boy has had it for a few years but it hardly gets used i sent him a message spoke to him before on sidc he says he wants 4k minimum for it. top top money for a uk classic. is a really nice car though.

 

[leeds_182]

Saw this on scoobynet - love it!

I love my LEDs and changing them on my old Clio dashes...Well decided to seen if the Subaru one is possible (I was told it is impossible and you have to add extra LEDS)

Challenge accepted

Goodbye dull green...hello chavvy Blue

Next mod is to finish all that section and fit the new HVAC controls which requires a whole new centre console, buy/fit STI version "sweep" dials/change colour as necessary

Other things on the list are retrofitting HID projectors into the standard BlobEye headlights and de-tangoing them/blacking them out. I want to go this way as rather then just adding a "hid kit". Well its either retrofit them or buy JDM HID versions but the JDM hids are silly expensive.

 

[imprezaworks]

I've been looking into new headlight bulbs for mine, any ideas? And don't say bright ones

I put osram night breakers in mine the other week as the standard ones were pony. Made a good difference for sure. I can't say they're the best, they were just what our local motor factors had on offer at the time.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers. Heard of those before so may give them a blast

 

[trails]

I run these...but they weren't £40 when I bought them

[imprezaworks]

Not cheap . Will have a mooch around, be ideal if I can get some through the local factors

 

[richy22]

The standard lights are bllody crap.

Might as well hang out the window with a couple of lighters to be honest.

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol. There not the best

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm having a proper hard time selling my scoob. My current thoughts are to put a quieter exhaust on it (or add a silencer?) and de-spoiler it. Then get the wheels done in anthracite and then put my wife in it and sell her fiesta.

I get to keep the scoob, she will then drive it (she won't drive it with the exhaust and spoiler!) and I can sell her car to fund the van.

What do we think? Would a quiet exhaust and no spoiler ruin my love for the car??

 

[richy22]

Yes it would.

I want a silly loud exhaust on my wagon and will get one soon, the missus moans like mad whenever we get in that to go anywhere and I point out its not a loud exhaust. I like loud exhausts as I'm a chav

She don't drive it anyway and I plan to keep it as a second car, sell the freelancer and get something s**t to run to work in. At the minute I switch between gaylander and impreza
