Default My 1st Subaru

Hello Everyone

I am a newbie to to this forum and would like to show you my 1st impreza i have just bought. Got swayed over to subarus via my dad who is on his 2nd forester.

As you can see this impreza is still in stadard factory condition and the previous owner has done no modifications what so ever. so i will be like starting from scratch.

On the list for first round of changes are cat back exhaust, new alloys and rubber (old alloys i will re-condition and sell) and brakes (pads and discs).

Agreed. The wheels are worth nothing whether reconditioned or not.
I'd keep it as close to standard as possible. Get a sensible exhaust and don't go over 17" on the wheels.
Modified cars are worth less than original by the cost to put them back to standard. Keep the original parts for when you eventually sell and you'll get decent money for quality mods on here.

Enjoy!

What a load of rubbish, not a Wagon and not blue


Seriously though, nice looking car, I like the low level spoiler too.

Look in the Regional section on here for a local meet, newbies are always welcome.

Enjoy it !!

correct i have had a mouch on ebay and you dont get much for orginal wheels. I'll get them reconditioned anyway cos they are a bit corroded and store them for later.

Not sure on the exhaust whether to put an off the shelf type or a specially build system since there are two companies near me who specialise in this.

Any ideas on this?
