Thumbs down

Makes me laugh that you take the p!ss out of this guy for putting a big spoiler on his Escort and then you go and do the same thing with your Impreza's.

You had to see it "in the metal" to appreciate the naffness of it all, it did not compliment the motor, it totally detracted from it, "nice wheels crap spoiler there mate"

cheers

Question

paulpalmer,

I'm not denying it looks total crap but there are just a few people on here who don't seem to understand that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

If you have a Nova and put spoilers, big wheels, loud exhaust, tinted windows on it you are a max power muppet, but if you do it to an Impreza then that is OK??

I personally hate tinted windows etc but must admit that a decent exhaust looks more in place on a scooby than a nova. Each to their own

Well it looked worse in the flesh

Can't really criticise the wing, as the one on my car is big enough, but it really didn't suit the car.

Chris, your exhaust and the noise certainly detract from the wing, and at least it was designed with the scooby in mind

cheers

I saw loads of these,type on Monday night.
CHESHIRE CRUISE.CO.UK.......
I went along to Birchwood off the M62 in me MY01 with a couple of scoob friends and a 20V Fiat,I was expecting 50 or so Novas,Corsas or the like,but was amazed to see a Supermarket car park packed with about 200-250 cars ranging from 22Bs,Evos,VR4s,Supras,scoobs to the above mentioned Novas and the like...90% of the cars were modded and I know eveyone buzzes off these fastcarmag type cars,but they have spent lots of time and money on these things,and are usually young girls and lads who cant afford the initial purchase price of a (16-22 grand)car,and also the extortionate insurance!Anyway they were all friendly and wellcoming,and not at all what I expected.Some of the ICE installs
were of show winning quality.And if I go again,next time I may even take off my disguise.Recommend going at least once to see what its all about!

True Jim

With the better soundproofing in the new cars, you forget sometimes how loud the exhaust is

I was impressed with the PPP on your car, especially the way it pops on the overrun - very nice

Cheers

Chris,

glad it now pops, rather than tweeters , when i first had the mod, it sounded like someone had stuffed tweety pie up the exhaust

cheers, jim
