Just bought my first Impreza!
 
I've been looking for a replacement for my GT Four Celica for a while now as I'm doing 15k+ miles with my new role at work. After being treated like crap at VW and Nissan (R32 and a 350z were on the list too) I drove home from Slip End Subaru this afternoon in an 07 WR blue STI and I've SO made the right move, she's just great. My Celica was 282bhp but this STI feels a lot punchier so either the book figures are very modest or that 6-speed box is doing it's magic.

Anyway just wanted to say hi :D


I do a bit of photography so once the weather has cleared up I'll get a few shots up but I'm sure you guys know what it'll look like already. Next step is to get some decent audio in it and after that i'll be spot on.

Cheers!

Welcome:thumb:

Ved 08 December 2007 08:33 PM

Cheers guys! I hadn't seen an STI in weeks and today I saw 5 just coming home. Typical stuff huh? :) Prodrive exhaust will probably be on the list too but power-wise it'll be fine for a while.

hardsy555 08 December 2007 08:41 PM

for a while......for a while. glad you enjoy what a machine it is chap.

Yep, I said that to. Then after about a week I changed my mind :)

Ved 09 December 2007 03:48 PM

I resisted in the last few cars and I'm more looking forward to getting a good audio installation. Nice Alpine up front, iPod in the arm rest, quality components in the front and maybe a little sub in the rear :norty:
