Had the car for a few months now, bought it from Dazza9t9 from on Scoobynet so thought I needed to get some pics up.

They are not great but gives you some idea of the car, thanks

 

A fellow 406 owner!
Looks nice mate, but if you want it to look right your rear wrx decal is in the wrong place, it's too high, should be in the middle still but level with the boot lock. Rcm do new decals..

 

Cheers mate, already on it and have some new ones in the car atm lol

 

Good man, have you any plans with it?

 

If Im honest prob not as its a pretty well speced car.

 

Just maintain it and enjoy then mate and don't "facelift" it!

 

You left your boot open.

Nice wheels, I used to have a set of those.

Tidy looking car, just enjoy it while you can, it won't be long before you start emptying your wallet and start modding, spend money on performance mods and leave it looking as it is - it looks quite tidy

 

Nice car mate! enjoy

 

Cheers mate, think its about 270 atm, quite happy wiyh the power but unsure about upping it to much more due to the age and the its a WRX and not an STI.

Seems like gearboxs are the weak point of these models?

 

on pre-facelift cars

 

 

Looks good, I'm liking pre-face lifts more and more.

 

Preface are best left as pre-facelift, and that looks a really nice one.
Getting less and less around now, and they are based on Group A cars NOT WRC.
And it was Group A that McRae won with , so they are genesis.

 

Looks good. Enjoy!

 

I'm expecting pre-facelifts to become really rare as the years go by. The UK market for Imprezas didnt really kick off properly until the face-lift came in, and 90% of the import ones have been killed of by chavs already.

Take a look at the pre-facelifts for sale on ebay - maybe one or two half decent ones out of 40-50 cars.

Yea but facelifting makes it look 10 years younger. Already bought a new grill and crystsll lights just waiting for the right bonnet to come up.

 

....and there's nothing wrong with that

Some of us just like the fact that our cars have that 15+ year old face, but are in a condition that defies it

 

Yea I do still love it though just hoping to update the looks a little bit.

 

+1 for facelifting! Gotta be done IMO

 

I did a full facelift on my 94.

 

Looks good mate is yours 406 silver? Take long to find a bonnet in that colour or did you get a respray?

 

yeah 406 mate. I took my time and got an alloy bonnet off a 98 sti in 406. Their a little bit harder to find but there is a massive difference in weight.

 

Completely agree



I am also of the opinion that pre-facelift cars are getting rarer, classics aren't as common as they used to be but pre-facelift ones aren't a common sight these days. Mine stays pre-facelift and always will

 

love it

 

Face lifted head lights and grill now fitted, just on the look for a 406 silver bonnet.

 

why not buy a facelift car
