THANKS THICKO DRIVER

 

head over to imprezasport.net

everything you could possibly want to know or do with a sport is on there.

bhp- only real mods are air filter/induction kit and a more freeflowing exhaust, and maybe a chip or remap

handling- turbo shocks and springs are a great mod for sports

 

You wont get much extra power out of a sport unfortunately even with an exhaust, map and filter your looking at about 140-150bhp, you are better going for 16 inch wheels, some nice 4 pot brakes and some uprated suspension, that will probably be enough, oh and dont forget to inform your insurance co! (acutally ask them first how much it will cost, at 18 it may be a little steep )

the girlfriend has a sport with some borla headers and turbo cat bk system and sounds pretty good,i also fitted my newage shocks to it.

 

Enjoy the car a little first , and get used to it sports are still fun cars and being 18 is a good effot , ho and welcome.... jeff

 

Nice one. If it were me I'd want some unequal headers and an exhaust, then you'll get that lovely Subaru burble. Some alloys, brakes and WRX body kit minus the scoop and vents. Don't be tempted to make it look like a turbo too much as the Sport is good in it's own right.

Get some pic's on.

 

Hiya thicko driver,

In case you havnt found an exhaust for you non-turbo .. ive got a scooby sport back box that was designed for a non turbo. looks and sounds great!.. ive now listed it on ebay if you want to have a look at the pics..

Subaru Impreza Sport Exhaust - Scooby Sport Back Box on eBay (end time 27-Aug-09 00:44:15 BST)

 

I started with a 2000 sport in Blue Mica, I bought some 16" gold STI alloys and that was it... Yes it wasn't warp speed quick but did me for 3 years until part ex'd it in for a blob STI..

 

Speed isn't a route worth going down with the Sport. I've got myself a Green panel filter, 2.5" catback exhaust and a 4 branch unequal manifold and it feels no different at all to be honest, but it sounds great!

Just get it looking nice and handling and braking well and you'll have enough fun with it! Take a look at mine for some ideas if you want.

Keep your money in your pocket, concentrate on building up your no claims, then when you hit 25 or come into money (whichever comes first) bin the sport, and go out and buy performance.

 

Yeah you wont get much power outa these sports, i have a 2001 gx due to my age also.

Just keep it as it is and save that money for a turbo in few years
