I have ordered the inner arches + clips off ICP this morning. I need to find the two small plastic pieces that fit on the edge of the wings down towards the sills. They are about 4" long.
I might start replacing some of the joints while the car is on axle stands i think oem will be sufficient.

Do you have strong reasons not to extend an olive branch?

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

He bought my car off me said he deserved first chance to buy as he was going to keep it. Then straightaway broke it for parts. I know it was his to do as he wanted but if he had said he was breaking it i wouldnt have sold to him.

johno01

Yep, swerve that olive branch...🪓🪓

Not even the half of it. A lot worse then that Johno. So Dave paid so much money to get the car built by him too. Majority of the work was done by him so he knew the money, effort etc (although the labour was his) and then broke the car. Wasn't he on the forums too.

johno01

I’ve heard he did paintwork with that scoop that was glued on or something...did he do everything else eg. Engine mods?

Dave Y

AS performance built the engine a forged 2.5.. Because i bought the wrong heads it was a flyer 484 bhp
i had a reverse scoop on mine from RCM £££ I will say his workmanship was spot on . I am not blowing smoke but it was. Anyway lets leave sleeping dogs lie

Ah gutted bud, did you sell it cheap? I really don't like breakers, unless there breaking rough or damaged cars, not good clean cars.

johno01

I might seem ok at the thought of my car getting raped...but deep down inside.....

Dave Y

Very cheap. I am too embarassed to say

So Ryan bought the car after having done all the labour and bought it off Dave, then broke it?

Why does no one won't to sell me an Impreza cheap

So why sell then buy another one? Sorry for all the questions, just interested.

I needed to raise some cash to buy a Toyota Rav. We were buying an Alaskan Malamute puppy. Big dog needs big car.
Anyway I don’t like having things on the drip so needs must. I had other cars but missed the Subaru.
Golf GTI edition 30 DSG.
Bmw 2.0d estate
Focus st
Bmw m235i
missed the Subaru,this one came up with the
TDR 2.1 stroker which had done low miles. I went to see it wearing rose tinted glasses. It’s only as I look to renew/ improve I come across previous owners very poor workmanship.
I will get there in the end. 👍

Don't be mad at yourself mate, There will be bits you need to change if you want to get it back to showroom condition, after all these cars are getting on a bit in age.
