sport sounding like a turbo?
hi!
i am 19, and have been wanting an impreza turbo for ages. the first car i drove after passing my test was in impreza turbo, but this had to be sold for finance reasons. it wasnt insured in my name, hence being able to drive it!
after attempting some quotes in my own name, i have realised thet until i am at least 21, no one will touch me for insurance.
i heard a sport scooby the other day, and i have no idea what the lad had done to it, but it sounded better than some turbos that i have heard!
i was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to make a 2ltr sport sound like this, as one way round the insurance is to get the 2.0 and to make it look like a turbo! i have my eye on a ful set of seats and a bonnet, so also details of where i could get any other bits from would be useful too!
just need to know how to get it sounding like the one i heard!
thanks for reading, looking forward to the replies!

im afraid you wont get a scooby sport to sound like a turbo. u can put a straight through exhaust on so its loud and get the burble. u will not the whistle from the turbo. that is close as ur gona get.
as for loks the only difference is the front bonnet scoop. go to a breakers or buy one and put it on ur sport.
insurance companys wont touch you but some will if you pay well over the odds

i have got a quote for about 90 per month. i know that is probably the best i will get as i have never insured a car in my name.
i realise i wont get the whistle, it was the burble i wanted to achieve. the one i heard sounded amazing. what makes of exhaust would you suggest? i know that blitz is good.
thanks for your help

to be honest i think the blitz systems are stupidly priced to put on a sport! i'd go for a magnex or janspeed!

PM Swordmaster to see what's on his. TBH I dont know the guy but was at the rolling road day @ Well Lane this afternoon and must admit his car sounded pretty sweet. I understand from his spec list he has a H&S exhaust with sports decat and a K&N filter. Certainly one of the best sounding sports I've heard.............
Good luck

remember to get a quote first as well,
they need to know what you intend to put on the car
have you tried diamond insurance, or one of those 10 mth accelerator plans?

there is a guy with a classic shape sport that works across the road from me. he has a magnex on his and it sounds nice.
i'll be starting my own thread in a moment re exhausts for my car as the powerflow is not loud enough for my taste.

a modified sport could well end up costing more to insure than a standard turbo, if you go stupid.
plus you run the risk of looking a bit like the nova boys with their stick-on scoops
if you want a scooby and really can't stretch to a wrx, leave it standardish. plus it'll be worth more when you come to sell it to buy a WRX
