so are you saying that you should get an standard impreza and then modify it. i thought you were against modding cars.

i wish you would make your mind up pete. i try to follow what you say because you are obviously the highest authority on everything. but now i am getting confused. should i buy a car and just use it as it is meant to be used or could you do a check list so i will know in future where i am going wrong in regards to modding.
yours sincerely
bryan

The days of gold wheels are numbered (gold as seen on one or two Imprezas at the moment)!

Wait until you see the full '06 range to see why.

AT LAST!!!!

I predict white wheels will be making a big comeback soon..! I fancy a set of OZ super 'T's on my WRB scoob..!

lol, and maybe a set of matching GT stripes up and over the roof..!

the last bit was a joke, although I am serious about the wheels..!
