Only for MY01/02 (both un-equal length headers) after that with twin scroll they are different.

Who remeber being on here when you used to put a post and hour later it be on page 2 or 3 with reply’s.

Where it was worst place in world to get to get trolled all be it very funnily. Probably not if you were on receiving side!

What's wrong with a UK 2000 mines mint. Although I miss my import for being so raw. The UK one is still a cracking car. And more user friendly.

Coming back to an impreza ?
Ive not seen a car for the same money i wanted to swap the impreza for !!!

Owned my V1 for 14 years now as a daily driver, kept it stock for many yrs but no where near now and running 340 at 1.4 bar standard head gaskets and standard internals still, just uprated oil pump, good oil etc and a great map on it ( not bias much tho lol )

Ive thought about leaving the scooby scene but for about £3k i cant think of anything that suits as a daily family car and also a weekend car ( when kids are not arround ) and does all the jobs i need it to.
