Default Just had an upgrade from GX2.0 to WRX2.5

Just got home from buying my new car... gone from 2.0GX Sport to a 2.5 WRX. I don't think I've smiled this much since my wedding day.

Some photos,


From Black to Blue...




Got a question though;

The fuel light hasn't come on yet. The needle was passing through the empty mark on the gauge but no light yet. the 2.0 light came on just before the empty mark. Any suggestions? Cheers!

i used to have a hawk wrx and it didnt seem to come on even though tank looked empty, it did eventually pop on though so just thought it was a weird calibration thing

Nice car, i wouldn't know about the light as i never let mine go below 1/4 tank and mostly fill up after half a tank is used except when on a long run.

These cars really don't like being starved of fuel.

Enjoy

Light came on this morning, taking the wife to work. So at least I know it works and I can compare with the GX.

280 miles on a run, sound about right? Would have got 320ish in the GX.

Just back after a trip from East Herts to Elgin and back. 1280 miles and averaged 27.9mpg. Left East Kilbride last Sunday at 06.30 and did best part of 150 miles on cruise control - no other vehicles for mile after mile. Deep deep joy. Mind you, I've now got it up for sale

Lovely car mate, just bought a blue 2.5 WRX myself two weeks ago after wanting one for years. Best car I've ever had. Glad your fuel light came on eventually as I didnt think mine worked as It's been right on empty and not come on yet!! Think i was too scared it would run out so filled it up rather than wait any longer!

All the best with your Hawk mate, I've had one like yours in the same colour since last August and although I've chucked a few quid here and there to personalise its appearance and performance, I think they're a great car from the outset. I hope you get many hours of driving and tinkering pleasure.

all the best

Tim
