Still too many little "tweeks" to do..........but getting there slowly :)

Richard

Nice car.. still loving the RA's mate :D

Nice one
 

Looking good Richard

Phil

Those wheels would look GREAT on my Sti Richard!

I've just ordered the H&S sport cat for mine, so i hope you will secure your car at Loton...

Now, what else is nickable!

Two weeks to go.
Pity you entered the Championship class.
4 Imprezas at Easter on the hill.

Bet Rob will be hard to catch.
Still cloming over tomorrow?

how is the later bumper different???
looking class btw

Very nice, loving the wheels :thumb:

:cool: wish mine looked like that still, just seen it for the first time today with all the decals on :lol1:



rear bumper is just had the double indent smoothed out, other than that almost indentical :)

Graham

Fingers crossed will see you Saturday morning. :D

I had a day at home today - really enjoyed cleaning and firtling on the car.

I need to upgrade the turbo on my car (basically it is a WRX engine running a STi Version 3 intercooler, and BHP at present is 275).

Torque is superb though - even though within a relatively small rev range.

Richard

Are those the 50mm drop H&R springs mate?

Dave

As flat4 said + this one has the lower corner splitter style things - suits the car better than old one (I think) and my old one was knackered!

Eventually the car will be perfect for what I need (££££ ALWAYS the predominant factor - but having fun doing bits and bobs when I can).

Richard

Dave - yes.

Car still has standard STi struts at present.

Richard

Thanks..

I'm torn between the H&R and the Eibach (35mm) can i ask why you changed ?

Dave :)

H&Rs v Eibachs on STi Struts
 

Dave

Previously the car was sitting too high on the rear:

As you can see, not quite correct!

Cost was the main issue, as I need to go for coilovers or a Tein set up (mucho £).

The H&Rs are a stop gap until I change the whole suspension set up - the STi struts are the first that need to go.

H&Rs are "relatively" cheap(ish).

Negotiated a Saturday pass from my Team Manager :D

Will get over about 1130 with my new camera.

Rained a little tonight (I am at Lawley, about 25 mins from Loton), but forecast for Saturday is cool but dry.

Richard

Great looking car & a quick squint at your View My Scooby certainly brightened up my day ;)

TX.

Thank You
 

TX

Thanks, and thanks Guys for all the comments.

Taken nearly 12 months to get this far, but on a beautiful sunny Friday, car clean, sounding good - makes me feel good to be an Impreza owner.

Great cars aren't they!

:)

Where can get shop the hood snug please.:cuckoo:

Looking good there, what alloys are they ? they suit the car really well.

I'm running H&R's here also they give a good ride as well as the drop, my uk turbo dropped 25mm against standard as a reference.

Simon

Thanks mate, i think i'll go for the H&R's

Cheers

Dave :)

Car and suspension drop looks good mate, what size wheels are they? they look like 18's ?

Thats the sort of drop i'd like, (see my rather high car in view my scooby)

Dave :D

Christ Richard, your Team Manager looks cold.
Please bring her to Loton!
Graham The Grey.

Cheeky! :norty:

See you tomorrow,

R
