The Impreza picture and discussion thread

[Herr Flick]

Type R is the only classic I would own now. Much better IMO than the P1.

 

[yeecup]

Looks stunning, Alcons too!

Yep, Alcons a must, shame its not got the 18' oz's but looks great

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I'm ashamed to say, I've been looking in the Evo's thread.......they are growing on me

 

[imprezaworks]

Either are brill

 

[matt91]

both cars have been dream cars since i was 8! being 21 almost 22 i doubt i'd get insurance on any of them

 

[yeecup]

Evo 5 or 6 are mint. Burble wins though

It's the burble which won me over when I drive my mates

You'd be surprised, my Subaru (UK) was cheaper to insure than my 182 and I'm 22.

Admiral.

 

[BoatNonce]

Each to their own I guess but I tend to disagree....

The man knows. Needs to have the STI headlights (pictured) though because the normal ones look s**t.

Well, those or the WRC ones. They were awesome looking headlights.

 

[Herr Flick]

When I had my first impreza I was 18 (uk turbo) I paid £3200 FC. Lol

 

[imprezaworks]

The things you do lol. When I had my first impreza it was on the company policy through work

 

[yeecup]

i paid £400 fully comp for my uk turbos. quotes now are less than that, and circa £550 for a import sti fully comp. suppose thats one good thing about being 40. :-(

 

[jay70]

suppose thats one good thing about being 40. :-(

Amen to that brother...

I thought id post a couple of pics of a project my mate has been working on, can you guess the engine bay this scoob engine is sat in?

 

[Dave..]

Looks like an old escort

 

[imprezaworks]

What ever happened to the guy pitting an impreza engine in a Clio?

 

[jay70]

It is Dave, a Mk1 Escort......He's building it as a trackcar with a nice spec incuding fully forged 2.0, PPG straight cut box, his own rotated turbo setup with an SC46 turbo all controlled by an Alcatek ecu.....should see 400bhp-ish.

This isnt a cut'n'shut Escort shell welded on an Impreza chassis, he has fabricated everything including extensive chassis modifications to shoe horn the engine inside the Escort engine bay, by doing all this he has kept it RWD.

He is a greedy fecker, he also has some other nice toys including A 450bhp WRX Type RA, a version 3 STI RA, an S2 RST converted to RWD with a 2.1 pinto with 45's and in his garage is an x-packed Mk2 RS2000 with a YB bolted in the front which is an unfinished project.

[Jordi17]

LOL at a spec C.

Your taste in cars is fcuking woeful.

 

[imprezaworks]

Nearly as bad as your spelling . That's not a spec c

 

[jay70]

No spec c but an incredibly cheap widetrack JDM blob.......Either someone will get a bargain or it will be snapped up by one the PH traders with a tidy profit in hand..

If someone is seriously looking for an Impreza to buy at present, I bet there is nothing currently for sale in the UK that can match that for 5k

 

[coleman]

That's silly cheap.

 

[coleman]

Your taste in cars is fcuking woeful.

Whats wrong with it?

 

[imprezaworks]

Wonder why it's so cheap, looks good tbf

 

[coleman]

If its legit, I hope Rich is on his way to get it.

 

[imprezaworks]

'If', hope it is.

 

[jay70]

The only issue I can see from the pics is it looks like it is fitted with a Type UK bootlid.....ass end shunt maybe?

 

[BustaMOVEs]

Or a ktc palm off, but that is cheap, needs looking at to see what's wrong with it, then spend a few pennies to tidy it up a little.

 

[BoatNonce]

What ever happened to the guy pitting an impreza engine in a Clio?

It's still going. It's not the first impreza engined build they've ever done down there either:

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah right, haven't seen his thread for ages.

 

[Herr Flick]

If its legit, I hope Rich is on his way to get it.

It's about a 3 hour drive and then I have no idea why its so cheap..
If someone near by can
Go and check it out I will pay them £50..

Also, it has no service history which is obviously a big factor. Not to say it has none but it is probably the main reason for the price (which imo that is about right ht)

So who bought this then?

 

[yeecup]

Not me

 

[Herr Flick]

Eh, it was only put on PH about 8pm yesterday! Lol

 

[matt91]

6 years ago today we lost McRae http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhuhqKji8Nk

 

[jay70]

Eh, it was only put on PH about 8pm yesterday! Lol

To be fair at that price I'm not surprised it has sold so soon, there could be as much as 3k profit in that car.
