He must be, only a drag racer would know about the advantages of weighing down a car with half a ton of sound system

How wide is that spoiler

It's a great looking car apart from that though. Remove the spoiler and ICE and you've got a nice classic.

"Fast & Furious Boot Spoiler, Brand New Piper Cross Induction Kit, Quick Shift"

Must have read the Max Power guide to Serious Modding and taken it to heart!

That spoiler is a bit like painting the bollox of your dog bright orange, it is gonna get you noticed but serves no other purpose than demonstrate you have 'special needs'

Nearly £6k starting price for an 11 year old Impreza, I'd be quite pleased to get that for my MY00!

"no test pilots"

Does he mean that litreally with that great big stupid wing?

Also would it not be a little dangerous if you were standing at the side of the road? Its at neck height and sticks out a fair bit, it would probably slice your head off!

Thumbs down

I'd rather smear myself in weeks old dog ****e than be in that car.

Another example of a *modded* mess bringing down the previous good image of the Impreza.

I love the first question

Q: 'drive the car when you pay...that way were both safe' .... do you reckon?

A: Well, once you have paid for it, if you crash it it's your loss not mine.....I drive fast cars and not willing to take the chance with my money and other drivers

You'd have to be nuts to fit a spoiler like that......but i doubt he's heard the people laughing at him as he drove past due to his noisey exhaust!

So so childish........ If you're not going to buy it then don't ask questions. Seen it a million times on here, someone puts his car up for sale in the for sale section and the next comment is ''too dear mate, you will never get that for it'' ...... Mind your own business.

So what if it isnt to your taste, the guy is just trying to sell his car in the best way he knows.

If you're bored go to your local Subaru garage and ask them why they put stooooopid spoilers on the back of their cars. Then you will hear some funny replies.

Bearing in mind the size of that 'thing' bolted to the boot, do you think that once the car gets up to about 60mph the front wheels start to lift off the floor

PMSL.............love the bit where he says that you can see the downforce working between 60- 110mph. To think of all the manufacturers that spend milllions testing in wind tunnels when they should just hire this guy to tell them it works

Hi, i am very interested in your car, but find it a lttle hard to believe it will do 0-100 in 4 seconds can you prove this. I have a 300 bhp type RA and that won't do 0-100 in 4 seconds, just wondered whats mods you have done to get this type of performance.
