Default newbie to the mark, want to learn about the impreza.

Hi people, hope things are ok with you all. i have just bought my first scooby.
a 323bhp green uk 96 wagon. i know nothing about these cars at all. i have had over 70 cars, and some of them very fast and in various states of tuning. if all goes well i am hoping to keep this one, and slowly toughen the looks up.
apart from a turbo timer, and maintainence, the engine will stay as it is. (i think)
big stereo to go in.
but really i want to toughen up the look of the whole car.

i appreciate it is the wagon, but there must be some people out there that have alterted their impreza wagon, i would be gratefull for any advise, and if there are any local meets. i am in maldon essex.

Hello Green Wagon owner, meet another one

Mine is slightly more modified than Bri4n's, but I am a good way off of 300 bhp

(I will be going to Zaks with a TD05 and an Apexi when -C`chelle isn't looking )

Now I don't want to get into an arguement here - or cause any embarrass,emt - but I'm sure you'll find that BLUE is the fastest colour

Welcome to ESC - hope to see you on the 7th!

Agreed.

No, No, you are all wrong, it's the extra weight of the metalic particals that slow you down.

Therefore, solid black is fastest! Especially with with wheels.

I think you'll find that white has smaller pigments in the colour not that I have a white scoob just that I know a bit about colour pigments so making white lighter
All so Silver has a matalic build in the paint so the colour pigment is a lot heavy meaning a little more thinners than standard so Silver or matalic cars that much slower

I think you'll find that Black is the heaviest colour of them all

Cyan
Magenta
Yellow
K-Black

Black is made up from C-M-Y meaning that it has all the process colours in it

This one is nice but being blue with all them stickers + the body kit & spoiler slows it down I just hope some of that money spent was on the engine

This one is a bit better but only if it was finished properly, those stickers just slow it down
