Default My very first subaru

And i love it!!!! before this i owned a mrk 1 MX5, it was brilliant but i wanted to step up my game, my friend recently bought an RX7 which is an awesome car, but i needed something a bit more practical but still has that wow and fun factor
I bought a impreza AWD sport, no turbo, but it is damn quick and i love it.

check her out, thoughts people, more pics will be up soon when it stops raining so much

Looks a tidy motor mate. All you got to do now is bolt the turbo on

Looks really nice fella.

Don`t worry about the no turbo, just think of the petrol your saving lol.

It looks very nice.

agreed my friend, i was looking about and so many out there with turbo problems it concerned me and put me off a bit made me think there are some people who just dont maintain there cars, i would prefer to get it and then i can maintain it knowing its looked after from day one ya know.
Yeah its in amazing condition, and runs a treat, It mainly all standard apart from a few internal and external decorative changes.

Yeah nice and low.
That front bumper looks great, I`d keep it.
Unlike the plate tho lol, I`d get rid personally.

Yeah it came on it i wasnt sure about it either, it came with fogs which i want to fit, but the fogs dont seem to have anywhere they can attach, so i am a bit confussed on that one, its a C-west front bumper, if that means anything to anyone?
lowering was the first thing my friend said, looks like its riding quite high
cheers ben

from the plate i would say some sorta boy racer owned this in the past but it has been well maintained, a hell of alot of service history.
I took the plate as WOODY oh god how embarrassing haha

try your local scrap yard first or Grade A in Fernilee, Derbyshire or any subaru breakers then you can save your original bumper
