Thats slightly creepy haha, I'm assuming you mean my brother, who are you :confused: :lol1:

Also not sure how great the geometry is going to be if driven like that? I would have thought it's stressing CV's etc.

I have always hated the VW stupid camber, too low, no suspension travel, tyres too small look so I guess I was never going to like it on a scoob.

I once watched a grown man cry as his Golf with airlift suspension (that had burst) was dragged onto the back of a recovery truck... wrecked his wheels and arches. He wanted the busy A road left closed while his mate drove around 150miles to fetch his original suspension which he would then change in the road.... suffice to say the Police were not fan of that idea and recovery it was....

Thats the whole point of air lift that you drive at a sensible height and then can dump it? And wouldn't you be upset if a car you had poured money and work into blew up in your face? Some bloke at japfests subaru caught on fire after he'd put some ridiculous money into it, could happen to any car.

Haven't posted anything in a while, haven't been up to a lot on the car, work getting in the way :( but bonus time means new wheels right?

Whats with all the stickers? Never really understood, why you'd want to plaster stickers over an expensive paint job.

Well at least you've done it to the right Impreza :thumb:

I didnt my 'friends' on the clubstand distracted whilst the others did this! Took me about an hour to get all the buggers off

powerwrx 31 August 2015 07:35 PM

could just be me but the more you do to it the more it looks like a golf,

Peedee 31 August 2015 08:11 PM

Erm, each to their own I guess.

Id leave the whole 'stanced' thing to the VAG lot though.

Yeah man that was me, I think if you look closely you can see the top of my mate very hung over from camping 😂 thanks man!

I do agree with the people saying its looking a bit VAG finding nice 5x100 wheels in the right fitment seems to be a right pain🙈

There was a lad on here few years back that had a non turbo classic and made a nice euro look car. Looked smart and was ok as has no performance anyway. He stripped it in the end put it back to standard and moved on.

I got my sti at 22 ŵith all mods declared, I've came from the whole vw scene too had a mk2 golf that scraped everywhere thankfully I saw the light and stopped that **** went for performance instead

The Trooper 1815 01 September 2015 10:07 PM

That is probably the worst use of an Impreza since Vader.

ScottyPPP 01 September 2015 10:31 PM

Looks like a Mk5 Golf with a bonnet scoop.

As many have said on here, I'd personally leave all this stance stuff to the Dubway kids in their Golfs and Civic's (oh yeah, Civic's get done a lot round here). But it's your car, your money and your work so who am I to complain...

If this is a Wrx, Who are you insured with and how much are you paying? Pm if you wish!

Cant remember the exact figure but 800-900 for 10 months with two years no claims! With admiral or elephant I think, one of that group definitly! Theyre quite cheap to insure I think as they're still to expensive for someone to hoon around stupidly in.


Also for whoever said, Im more of a dog person anyway 😂

I think I saw that one on here! Looked quite nice, the kit Im running has been tested against coilovers performance wise and came up top, the only thing it sucks at is offroading which I was never going to use this for anyway
