Chris, i was parked on a funny angle there, the other side was a lot lower due to a small hill i parked on, which made it look higher than it is
Man of my own heart, I take every corner at 20mph (after crashing at 140+ on a corner and surviving) and love the look of low as hell cars. Mine is only 25-30mm though

I couldn't care less how my old EVO or Scoob handles it's all about straight line and looking good for me.

There are UK Turbos with not many more miles than that seling for less than £2K with performance mods.
Spot on. Regardless of what you have spent on it at the end of the day a 10 year old non turbo Impreza. I would hazard that folk would spend their 3 grand on a nice condition my99-00 turbo. The car is that modified that the insurance would be nearly that of a turbo as well.

Return to standard, sell the car for about £1500 and sell the mods for whatever you can get.

And where can you find a clasic impreza in great condition with only 3 owners from new, and 55, 000 miles? I couldnt find any

What he said really. Mods don't add value plus if i was thinking of buying an N/A Impreza, I certainly wouldn't pay a premium for one that is slammed to an inch of its life with possible arch/underside issues and extreme wear on the suspension components.

Well for someone with time and space, you could make money on this selling all the parts.

Will take £1600 for it standard. Still comes with Nardi steering wheel, apexi back box and smooth front bumper Nice little run around for someone?

Mate, in the nicest possible way, as others have said, you never get the money back on mods - often they actually reduce the value of the car.

Additionally, yours is not a turbo model, so less desirable than the cars in a similar or cheaper price bracket.

Best thing to do is return it to standard and sell on all the shiny bits separately.

Yeah im splitting it now, taking it almost back to standard, but got to leave some parts on because i either cant re fit standrd bits or dont have them lol.

Really suprised that none of the parts have sold yet. Only the interior......its really starting to **** me off lol! Had about 20 people email me about the wheels, i tell them exactly what their asking me about, and then dont hear back from them!!!

Hi.

Sorry to resurrect such an old post. However, can anyone tell me exactly what exhaust parts I would need to buy to get the Turbo burble on my Sport?

Thanks, John.

a backbox and unequal length headers (borla replica etc)


these two non-turbo groups on FB would be worth joining:

As above, unequal length headers are the best item to change to get the 'burble'.
