Chris, i was parked on a funny angle there, the other side was a lot lower due to a small hill i parked on, which made it look higher than it is :(

Man of my own heart, I take every corner at 20mph (after crashing at 140+ on a corner and surviving) and love the look of low as hell cars. Mine is only 25-30mm though :(

I couldn't care less how my old EVO or Scoob handles it's all about straight line and looking good for me. :luxhello:

You would be better putting it back to standard and selling the parts separately tbh.

There are UK Turbos with not many more miles than that seling for less than £2K with performance mods.

Spot on. Regardless of what you have spent on it at the end of the day a 10 year old non turbo Impreza. I would hazard that folk would spend their 3 grand on a nice condition my99-00 turbo. The car is that modified that the insurance would be nearly that of a turbo as well.

Return to standard, sell the car for about £1500 and sell the mods for whatever you can get.

Tom 46 30 May 2011 12:27 PM

Yeah if i cant sell it as a whole, ill be putting it back to standard and advertising it for £1500

And where can you find a clasic impreza in great condition with only 3 owners from new, and 55, 000 miles? I couldnt find any

What he said really. Mods don't add value plus if i was thinking of buying an N/A Impreza, I certainly wouldn't pay a premium for one that is slammed to an inch of its life with possible arch/underside issues and extreme wear on the suspension components.

Tom 46 31 May 2011 12:17 AM

Well for someone with time and space, you could make money on this selling all the parts.

Will take £1600 for it standard. Still comes with Nardi steering wheel, apexi back box and smooth front bumper :) Nice little run around for someone?

SkydiveMacca 31 May 2011 10:07 AM

Mate, in the nicest possible way, as others have said, you never get the money back on mods - often they actually reduce the value of the car.

Additionally, yours is not a turbo model, so less desirable than the cars in a similar or cheaper price bracket.

Best thing to do is return it to standard and sell on all the shiny bits separately.

Tom 46 31 May 2011 10:09 AM

Yeah ive started to realise that, i cant believe how cheap subaru's are at the moment! How much is it worth standard?

Yeah im splitting it now, taking it almost back to standard, but got to leave some parts on because i either cant re fit standrd bits or dont have them lol.

Really suprised that none of the parts have sold yet. Only the interior......its really starting to piss me off lol! Had about 20 people email me about the wheels, i tell them exactly what their asking me about, and then dont hear back from them!!!

M444GY 08 June 2011 01:21 PM

it takes time to sell parts bud , have you listed them elsewhere ?

Tom 46 08 June 2011 01:24 PM

Once their all off the car im going to put them on ebay and pistonheads. Need it all sold ASAP as ive got to pay off new car!

scooby kid 08 June 2011 01:25 PM

i really liked his car mate top job, but as allways best way to get your money back is in bits.

SirFozzalot 08 June 2011 05:48 PM

Shame to see it split, I think it looked great. Good luck with the next project, be sure to chuck some pics up on here :thumb:

Exhausts
 
Hi.

Sorry to resurrect such an old post. However, can anyone tell me exactly what exhaust parts I would need to buy to get the Turbo burble on my Sport?

Thanks, John.

riiidaa 04 April 2014 10:10 AM

a backbox and unequal length headers (borla replica etc)


these two non-turbo groups on FB would be worth joining:

As above, unequal length headers are the best item to change to get the 'burble'.
