Hi Folks

Same as a few other newbies, I have wanted a scoob for a long time but never seemed to get round to it. Been on bikes for ages and got a Z750 and a VOR Supermoto for fun.

So, trunks on, plunge taken and came home yesterday with a MY03 WRX in Metallic Green, FSSH and 14k on the clock. Much better than the previous Volvo S60.

Looks like a mine of useful info on here, and I am looking forward to the banter and p%%s taking as much as anything else.

I am a bit disappointed though, as after a quick search through the forum I discovered that filling up with BP Ultima yesterday was a big mistake (bugger), and buying the impreza was a bigger mistake as apparantly I should have bought a Golf Diesel

Cheers, and the virtual beers are on me

PS, Whats a cost effective route to liberate the boxer burble short term as the slush fund is running up for the PPP....

 

Tony you need to get to a cads meet (cheshire and district). Just the other side of Lymm. Details on sidc forum.

 

Enjoy mate!

Interesting though. Didn't realise that the MY03 was available in met green.... Thought is was only the bugeye....

Incidentally, BP Ultimate is OK, but most WRX and STI owners swear by Optimax.

And don't worry, a Golf Diesel can only ever be a second car....

 

Hope I am not getting my years mixed up then, it is an 03 plate, new shape WRX, brochure calls it Impreza III, rev counter in centre of instruments etc. Wish I could stick a pic up

Chris, will check out the forum and get over for the next meet if I can get a leave pass from SWMBO

Thanks for the welcome

 

Good choice of bike's sir, as for your exhaust,

A: Take a hacksaw to the back box, or
B: Try haveing a look on the part's/ accessorie's page's, there's probably quite a few kicking around in there somewhere.
Oh and welcome .

 

I was thinking about bringing my angle grinder out of retirement for the back box.... Z750 is a fun tool, I came down from litre class bikes and it's been a hoot chasing down the odd one or two litre bike's with the "little" Zed. The VOR is just pure lunacy, uncomfortable, impractical, but mad as a pair of trousers

 

Impreza III is defo the current model mate. Just didn't realise they were available in green.... If so, my bad.....

 

Ouch!
