Default Back to the fold in a classic

Hi All

Not had an impreza for a while since my last one went pop. Anyway picked this up Sunday from a chap in Staford, im sure some of you will know the car as it sticks out a little and think he was a wmi lad. Car was also taken care of by API so you may have seen it there in the past
Really really pleased with it, it's a cracking motor, drives A1 and don't go too bad either. Looking forward to coming along to a few local meets and just generally enjoying the car.
Sorry not many pics due to weather but here's a couple




Cheers
Glen

Welcome back, glad your liking it, maybe have it plastic dipped, if you wanted a change in the future, cheap and easy to do, I'm not the biggest fan of that green but it's how it drives that really matters

Not my cup of tea by any stretch of the imagination, but if you like it then that's all that really matters.

Prepare for lots of abuse from the sticker / alien puke brigade.

Cant say Ive ever heard of plastic dipping, but i love the colour as it is so don't think I'll changing it, and yeah i agree, it's the bigger picture than just the colour, it was more about the car which was the reason for buying it.

ha ha, i knew it would happen mate, everyone's tastes are different the end of the day, I'm happy with how it is and I'm not changing anything. Well maybe a v6 spoiler at a push but that's it. I think the last owner has done a nice job of it.

I love how many people think Tubbys avatar is actual car!,
Do you really think if someone owned a car like his avatar then he would actually slag a sticker car off!

Anyway not my kind of styling but the power sounds good!

Not really feeling the colour or stickers but if you like it then that's all that matters mate - maybe you could add some personal touches by putting some stickers of Michael Van Gerwen on it, like a darts mascot car.

LOL, well spotted. I did actually fill it last week, you should have seen it before. Just waiting for a dry day to paint it. surprised you could notice it past the car.

Thanks for all the comments anyway guys, good and bad. Wheels are a maybe change to be fair, look a bit pants and i do fancy going brembo eventually so will need bigger wheels anyway if i do. I'm just going to enjoy it as it is for now and see how it goes. Maybe see some of you at a show or a meet. I'm sure you'll no it's me if you do. haha

And Hopefully get some good advise on tuning/fixing over the coming months of ownership as im sure that's what the forum is all about the end of the day.

Cheers
Glen
