Back in an Impreza again !! STi Type UK
Since having my last blob WRX & having to sell it due to a change in career I have missed it (mainly the noise), I bought a Leon TDi to commute to work to start with & then after getting quite a good pay increase I decided that I didnt need a diesel so ended up buying an Audi 2.0 TFSi Quattro.
Had that for a few months until my boss decided to give me the pick of any car on our pitch to use & go on his insurance for pleasure use as well as bussiness.
So with me not actually needing my own car I sold the Audi & put the money in the bank, It wasnt long until I had the urge to buy something to mess with so rather than having money in the bank I bought this.
When I bought it the car wasnt too bad but it did need things doing to it so I ended up spending quite a bit on it mechanically. At some point it had been re-sprayed but wasnt the best job & I had all intentions of having it re-painted.
Since I bought the escort I literally went out in it 2 or 3 times, I was worried it would break down so I never really used it but just kept it in the garage.
After a few months I got asked by Jake to go with him to pick up his new Impreza, After seeing it, Going in it & hearing how it sounded made me want another one again.
So today this happened
A nice trip out later I ended coming back with this

Went up to see Brian at CAMS Performance last week.
I had a sports cat, HKS SSQ DV, K&N panel filter, non res centre pipe & rear silencer fitted along with a Walbro fuel pump in preparation for the re-map.
Also got this through the post this week.

Yep JDM hazard switch.
Well had the car mapped today & must say what a different car it feels, Love how responsive & the torque it has now.
Had pops and bangs & launch control mapped in aswell just for a bit of fun.

Since owning the car it has had a judder from the clutch on setting off so today I wet to cams performance & had a Exedy clutch & ligtened fly wheel fitted.
There were some groves in the old flywheel.
Whilst it was in having the clutch done I thought I would treat it to some nice shiny bits as well.
New strut brace & buddy club oil cap fitted.
Also the JDM hazard switch finally got fitted.

Been to see Brian & Tim up at Cams a few times with all the Impreza's I have previously owned.
Im from Middleton so not too far away.
The RS Turbo was nice but was afraid to use it.
