Default Subaru Impreza RA in white

Hi,

I've just bought my first Impreza a few days ago... and this is my first post...

It's a the RA model!

Here's some pictures:





It has been fitted with a new/bigger intercooler and some other things... I'm really enjoying it driving it, it's sturdy and beasty compared to the MX5 I just sold!

I love it!

I think it looks great too, I fell in love with it when I first saw it.

Not sure what all of your tastes are...

I'm also selling the plate - so if anyone wants to buy it off me It's ideal for an RA edition too hence the 'R4 ...WRX'

Oh and I'm looking for Wind Deflectors, anyone selling some?

Lol I'm going for darker wheels on mine too as it happens, some nice WR1 replicas in anthracite! Should finish it off a treat! I'd certainly recommend red mudflaps too mate

How much are red mudflaps?

And do they only come with stuff written on them?

I haven't searched for much stuff on Impreza's. I want to get it dyno'ed because apparently it's pushing 350bhp (prev owner was on about).

(I've also just reg on type-ra.co.uk )

Bosan - bought mine off a chap on ebay called mud-ban. Think they cost about £60? Bit bizarre though because when I rang up to pay for them with my debit card it turned out I was actually calling Scott Lowes in Bradford! Top quality flaps, you can have them in a choice of colours and a choice of lettering on them too mate. Went for white STi logos on mine.

Can't recommend them enough

Ha ha ha, thanks

I want half red/white rear lights. Not so keen on these - hence I haven't put a rear picture up

I'll wait until I get money I think

Petrol just goes down - I was thinking it won't be so bad... It's as nearly but not so, as bad as an RX7!


...Cool £60, not bad for some mudflaps... think I briefly searched on a la internet - around £120 or something daft ...! Awesome - thanks

RA or RX7 decisions decisions I would go for the RX7

The white/red read lights are STi lights and can be picked up from quite a few places ...
DR Motorsports
Flat4Online
etc etc

Nice looking RA even if it does look like Dafty's GL

D'oh
How would I make it look like a Type-RA then




RX7's are nice, except when it comes to Rotary engines... I borrowed my Bro's for a few weeks (ate petrol) he just bought it then... Then a couple of months later the engine needed a rebuild! Typical.
It had only done 66k or something. I'm sure the rebuilds go up to 80k, obviously wrong and lost quite a bit of money!

How much are the lights? Around 150?
---- er I just looked they're £250

Try yorkshire rally spares, 25 quid for 2 mitres just need your own screws etc to fit. Do a search in google.

It does look like a type RA but Dafty just decided to copy :P

As for the RX7 I used to drive my ex's, never cost me a penny in fuel but I always did my bit to empty the tank he now has a type R which is also good to drive

Yes, LX's are bog BOG standard things, and mine has the added bonus of being one of the very few FWD versions that they made
I still keep telling myself "Well, for a first car its not the worst thing in the world!"
