So why start a thread? Just for an FYI? Forums are for ppl to air their opinions. You didn't seem to like mine... me thinks u care. Sorry for upsetting you all. I'm just saying what you know ppl think.

I didn't start a thread? You should make it clearer as to who you are aiming your posts at otherwise you are wrong Either way your not saying what anyone knows people think, That would imply everyone thinks the same as you? Obviously that is not true, Your opinion is fine but as already stated, Nobody asked for it

Well hang on now then, am I within my rights to tell you that i didn't ask for your opinion?

You can tell me what you like, but I can't tell you what I don't like? Do you own this site? Should I now be angry with you?

Grow up

Took my dump valve off last weekend and fitted the standard recirc and to be honest the car does run a lot better. Many of the anti-dump valve crew dislike them for this reason, and they're right.

i dont get this thread!
you ruined an impreza, i think even you know it looks s***.
you dont care what people think so why post it on scoobynet knowing most people will hate it.
the tragic thing is it looks a good car before you got hold of it.
i like the classics and would have another if i ever found a nice clean example, unfortunately the older they get the cheaper they get.
then the cheaper they get the more get into the chav brigades hands.
lexus lights no no no no no no and more no!!!
do the car a favour restore it to its original state, sell it to an owner who has some taste, spend the money on a saxo or a corsa and buy all the lexus lights big bore exhausts and halfords tuning products you like.
you can buy and modify classics quite tastefully and cheaply now just look at the members gallery for some very nice clean and well modded examples.
i know the next few threads people will say its your car and do what you like to it, yes thats true but most scoobynet owners if honest would say your car looks s*** and you have probably managed to half the price of it so well done.
i also have two young girls 3 and 4 and i understand you are obviously a good father, so do what i do take them nice places, paint there room pink buy them toys but please leave that poor car alone!!!
rant over!
ever heard of a website called barry boys??? you should get plenty of tips from it and the way your impreza is going i will look forward to seeing it on there shortly.
p.s. i think there is a two for one offer on neon headlight washers on in halfrauds today.
you could have saved yourself time and money as there are plenty of pre ruined imprezas on ebay!
it makes me sad to see what the classic is becoming now its getting cheap. i remember in the mid 90's when they were polished and cherished!

I love seeing how people like their cars to look.
We ought to recognise that regardless of indivual tastes we make driving the roads more interesting when quirky and unusual cars go by.

I tire of seeing endless BMW, Audis fords etc in their thoasands all lokking the same.

Most of these drivers treat their cars like their fridge or washing machine.
There to do a job.

What a boring bloody world it would be if we all liked the same thing.

I love seeing cars that look like their owners have invested time in them and treat them as cars and not the Hotpoint dishwasher that many are slowly becoming.

How soon would we tire if we all drove Imprezas that look Identical?

Thats what i love about them they are all so different . Its what makes them interesting a perfectly standard car catches my eye just as much as an all out there car. Love em all in there own way. My car is not everyones taste i dont expect it to be but its my car and i love it :-) .

We all here because we all love the bare bones of the car what some one has added or not dosnt matter we a big scooby family.

I made this thread to as i've said to see if anyone else has dared to break away from the norm!

You've not upset me, i was saying that i've not asked for anyone opinion, your more than welcome to voice yours along with everyone else, it just wasn't asked for thats all......

9 times out of 10 they are right, i've got my shiny DV and the car is running mint, its not doing any harm, and till i can afford to change it, its gotta stay.

Right.... here we go if your comments AREN'T aimed at me then ignore pretty much all of this.

1. How did I ruin an Impreza? my car came with all the parts fitted, i just can't afford to change them yet. The stars are a 30min fix to remove. HARDLY RUINED.

2. The lights can be put back to standard, but they will leak, and the standard ones don't have a fog light on the LEFT side, which i need before being in Germany, again, i didn't fit the Lexus lights, they CAME with the car.

3. It was a good looking car and still is, and it doesn't look like every other Impreza on this site.

4. I believe that people on here are as honest as they wanna be.

5. I'll do anything for my little girl (within reason) putting stars in the car is defo within reason.

6. I've had a Saxo, didn't fit a big bore exhaust or lexus lights - thats what everyone was doing at the time, i did it DIFFERENT AGAIN.

7. Yeah i've heard of Barry Boys, they some useless c*nts on that site. They slated a STANDARD Astra Coupe 888. IMO they have no use for an opinion and if my car does end up on there for some reason, it won't be due to me posting it up.

8. I've not lowered the value of my car at all. Its a 11year old car, its not worth that much anyway. Its an IMPREZA not a f**king Ferrari.

9. I don't shop in Halfords.

10. I wasn't even driving in the Mid 90's, mine is polished and cherished, and not the same.

I'm the same mate, i like seeing indivdual tastes, i may not like what i see, but i like the time and effort and thought that has gone into it.

You wouldn't think so IMO, like i said a million times before, everyone has a right to say what they like, and i couldn't give a toss. We're not one big Scooby Family. There is a MASSIVE divide on site.

Those to WILL FOLLOW what is to be expected of an Impreza Owner

Those who WILL push every possible limit of the car.

And Those who WILL do their own thing.

This of course is just what i think of only being on here for 5 months or so. Weather you fall in to one of these groups or not, it isn't a bad thing.

im not going to continue posting fella as im off out,
fair play to your reply and each to their own.
im a subaru snob i admit it!
i understand people buy the best car they can afford and modify it there own way.
there are some really nice cars that started as bog standard imprezas and have been modded with time effort and good taste.
as an example i never understand why people buy wrxs and spend £££ making it look and go like an sti.
when i suspect the real reason thay brought a wrx is they cant afford an sti but want everyone to think they have one, nothing wrong with that but just admit it.
i had a wrx it was great so before wrx owners start on me! i dont hate them they are good cars!
my final say is if you dont care what people think why post pics of it then try and defend it saying i like it???
maybe you do care what people think!
ebay has loads of second hand lights quite cheap and you may even be able to sell on your chav lights.
by the way your intercooler cover looks very nice, thats a mod on your car that looks good!!
over and out!

I agree about not worrying about its value when its time to sell up.

I want to enjoy my impreza to the fullest and not be afraid to make changes that may affect its selling price.
Value is a subjective thing anyway.

I think that even tho we ultimately dont 'care' what what others think I interpret that as meaning that should anybody slag off an owners car that they've posted up the owners doesn't care about the criticism.

Instead they (like me) post the pictures to share something with others that they enjoy. Its not so much as needing attention from others its more about informing them that this is what they have done to modify there car.

As we all like Impreza's I see posting pics as simply a way of sharing knowledge about our Marque.

There's always be those who dont like our preferences but I tend to ignore them as we all have differences.

If I see something I don't like I tend to say nothing because criticising isn't helpful. I let the poster enjoy the experience of putting pics of their car up.

Least you admit your a Scooby Snob which is more than some people are willing to do on here!

nope don't care what think, i just like sharing what i've done with my car, its nice to get feedback, weather its good or bad. i've got the standard lights in the boot, i need to mod them.

cheers for the intercooler comment, but i thought they all came like that! lol
