After not owning an Impreza for a while & being down at Jakes the other day seeing his & Kevs cars made me start searching the internet again for one.

As I don't normally own a car I can call "My Own" I didn't want to spend a fortune so was thinking of getting a Classic.

Found a few quite local & was ready to go see a Green R reg one with 90k on it that's at a garage.

Anyway after looking for days on end on Ebay I have finally bought one.

Big thanks to Jake for taking me back tonight to pick it up.

 

Pics how it stood this morning





Got these off Jake



Really easy to fit & makes a big difference





Next it was time for a quick wash





Looks a lot better now









The car is totally standard, Even on OEM backbox, Engine has been left standard



One thing that was annoying me was the stupid Aeriel for the phone kit & the daft sticker that was under it



Quick go with a blade soon saw the end to that

 

nice motor mate, looks in great condition.
looking for one myself bug wrx what should i look out for any tips, what price u pay mate ?
thanks
lofty

 

Im quite new to Subaru's, I asked Jake (cuprajake) on here what to look out for when buying one & he said, Listen for knocking engine when starting from cold, Knocks & bangs from rear struts, water leaks into boot, Check all panel gaps, Make sure gear change is smooth, Look for black smoke when it comes on boost

 

Looks tidy mate!

 

Could do with a North West meet now its getting lighter in the evenings!

 

That would be a good Idea, Could do with the Warmer weather as well to go with the lighter nights !

 

The remote locking on the alarm wasn't working & neither was the interior clock,

Found out how to re-sync the remote off Cobra web site & got a replacement clock off Jake so im happy again

Gave it a little clean earlier

what mods u planning ?

 

Not too much at the moment really, I want to change the twin rear pipes to a prodrive one, Fit the larger rear spoiler, Front lip under bumper then some fog covers,

Wouldn't mind the larger scoop & some 18" Alloys eventually

 

prodrive bumper looks nice on these & some morettes imo.

 

I agree but the price doesn't look nice though

 

Been influenced into buying front fog covers & lower front splitter

Hopefuly they will be delivered, Painted & fitted next week.

Undecided if to put the STi stickers on the fog covers though

 

Changed the Yellow side repeaters today, Looks a lot better



Also got a parcel delivered



And a big thanks to Brian @ Cams for sorting me out with some more goodies



Dropped the Boot off with Jake & will be having spoiler painted this week hopefully.

 

looks good pal

 

Good man! Good to see a big spoiler is imminent! Splitter shaped parcel is Intriguing! I've got the standard PPP Prodrive exhaust off my blobeye if you're interested. No idea if it will fit!

 

Nice, some tasteful mods in the pipeline

 

Wanted the Larger spoiler from day one, I was meant to be getting a Prodrive exhaust on Sunday but on further investigation it turns out that I need most of the exhaust centre changing aswell.

 

Cheers mate, Getting there slowly

 

This has the centre as well mate. It's about 12foot long lol.

 

Got my eye on a Magnex back & centre pipe

 

i had magnex back box seemed to quiet for me

 

No worries mate! It'll be great when you can unleash the noise!

 

Don't want anything loud, Just a little Burble will do for me

 

Lights all fitted & working (Thanks to Jake!)

 

looking good mate , bugeyes are growing on me.
when u putting the splitter on?
fog light covers aswell?

 

Splitter will hopefully be fitted this week

Had some more bits delivered today

 

Got the spoiler in primer the other day



Then into the booth for painting along with my other bits

Big thanks to Jake for getting them all done this morning, Will be going down early next week to fit them
