Back in a Subaru
 
After a few years of being Impreza free, I picked this up today. The ride is shocking but plan to sort the bc coil overs asap. Also getting shot of the wheels. I’m not fan.

Well done lad. Seen that on eBay a few times. I quite like the alloys abit different.

But I would most likely change them after abit myself.

Are the arches extended or is it just the alloys that are giving that effect?

Cheers, yeah he told me had it up a couple of times and got massed about with the winning bidder. They’re wide track arch extenders and rear bumper. The camber on the coil overs is shocking. Got the standard wheels with it too.
it was a 485 miles round trip. Bouncy journey home.

Looks nice. Only done bout 80,000? Was it? Alloys look abit euro look. Might be worth abit. What's your plans or you keeping it as is looks wise?

Of course you want suspension sorted. I bought a Escort XR3i years ago lad had lowered it on springs, camber wax awful.

That’s the one. 82,000 miles. Going to try and get a standard wrx bonnet scoop, standard recirc valve as it has terrible sounding dump valve. Sort the suspension bringing up a good bit so I can get it in my drive. I’ll probably sell the wheels. Not my cup of tea although I’ve seen them in a grey colour and look okay.

Silver is the best colour.

Look like there off a VW, can see them on a golf. Look expensive. Get some pics up of progress.

flamingexhaust 27 October 2019 12:53 PM

Love it, looking for one myself at min

jaygsi 27 October 2019 02:05 PM

I'm after either classic or blob. Nearly bought a mint forester but got beaten to it

Adjust the dampening on your coil overs, can make such a massive difference.

Also congrats on the new car

Progress

scooobydont 14 April 2020 09:35 PM

Looks nice, what happened to the wheels that were on it?

Davec30 14 April 2020 09:42 PM

Don’t know why it’s on it’s side ?! Thanks. I sold them. Didn’t like them.

Really have no idea why the pictures are on their side.

LeonWRXL 15 April 2020 06:28 AM

I believe the wheels for anyone interested are 3dsm wheels, not worth an awful lot, quite cheap in comparison to most wheels these days tbh. They are more of a VW scene thing

They’re not my cup of tea either but did look different. They were sold to a Golf owner.
