Default Evening All

Hello Everyone,

My name is Pete, from West Midlands. I Joined here as i am currently looking to buy either a Blob eye or Hawk eye. Ive been waiting 20 years to get my grubby hands on on a impreza, since seeing watching the WRC with my dad when i was 7.

Just looking for advice on what to look out for and like minded people to chat with. It will be my first 'Real' car. I currently drive a 1.6 HDi Citroen C4

Ive suffered with depression over the last 2 years and owning something ive waited so long for is all part of the recovery process.

Anyways look forward to getting to know people

Pete

Hi Pete, great to hear that you are on the road to recovery mate. Just take your time even after waiting so long as you would not want to get burned, there are lots of people on here who can advise you but it may be helpful if you gave mare info regarding what your intentions are with the car.

Anyway a warm welcome to SNet buddy

well i intend to keep it standard over the first few months and enjoy just owning it, then move on to handling, then as i get used to the power take it from there. In a perfect world id like to take it to around 400bhp and do a few track days

I dont pretend to know much about the impreza so any advice is welcome
