Default Old member returning to impreza ownership

Well after nearly 6 years after selling my much loved classic wrx i have found myself a cheap UK classic.

I cannot beleive just how cheap all the parts are now for these cars, truely shocking, i spent £10,000 modding my old one and could do it all again now for less than half of what i spent back then

This was my old car, i beleive it's still going strong and doing the circuit up in Hertfordshire





Being of a slightly more mature age now im looking to tone down my new car a bit, i remember years ago a boot lip spoiler was available for the classic's, just a thin lip that sat on the boot lid edge so as not really looking like a spoiler at all, M5 is sort of thing, can anybody help me locate one, after a brief search i cannot find anything.

Yeah, she took a good beating, mainly brands, silverstone, bedford and cadwell and plenty of pod action

12.800 @ pod


Moved onto bikes but never lost the love for the impreza

The only problem is people worrying about what they need to do to there cars, all you need is a helmet and a car with fuel in, you will have the best day driving, and smile like never before. Once you start you cant stop, i've had so many track cars now, impreza, mr2, mr2 turbo, mx5 turbo, bmw 325, 200sx, 306gti-6, all as much fun as the next.
