Default Evening all

Newbie to the forum so only right i say hi!

Not a newbie to forums however as been an active member of the Rover Coupe owners club forum for a number of years. Have just agreed a sale on my Rover coupe turbo (jap import) and am now looking for an impreza wagon. Would obviously like a turbo but not sure if the Mrs would appreciate the insurance cost

Anyway ive seen a Imprza sports wagon 2.0 nasp and have put an offer in on it. Would like to put some of the turbo bits on if possible (17's, turbo buckets ect) is there anything i should be lookign out for?

Any tips on what i should be looking for on potential cars would also be much appreciated.

Thanks boys and girls
Dan

I think you'll find that no-one relplied because you're buying a Sport (and a Wagon). Had u said you were buying a Turbo Classsic, everyone would have said hello and fallen at you're feet.

That was even more compounded by the fact you said you were effectively wanted to make it look like a turbo... not cool in most people's eyes on here.

The Rover thing probably finished you off

But hay, WELCOME

Not trying to make it look like a turbo just like the turbo wheels and seats. Also, whats the issue with making it look like a turbo? Unfortunatly not everyone can afford the insurance so have to settle for second best.

Oh and whats wrong with the wagons?? 2 x Adult boxer dogs and 1 x whinging Mrs means its practical

Anyway i may change my mind and get a turbo (still a wagon ) but want a uk one and need to find insurance less than £700

How can a Rover Coupe be a jap import? Or am I just being daft?


Anyway welcome to the site mate, don't worry about some of the 'sport jibes' on here, some people are a bit funny about sports for whatever reason. Some more help that you may find useful here: www.imprezasport.net

Yeah thats it. Some Rover coupes went to Japan. These had a higher spec than most of the uk ones (full leather, air con, arch lips ect ect ect) Mine was imported back. For those in the know mine isnt an FDH its a genuine jap import. She's only got 36k on the clock on an L plate (Genuine )

Something that surprised me was my coupe is a group 17 and so is the Scooby turbo but the scooby is a lot more to insure?
