Morning everyone, Well the hours are counting down til i collect my first Impreza and as you can tell by the time i cant sleep!!!
I have got myself an 04 plate WRX with the Prodrive kit on it,few other bits and bobs done but am unsure of the bhp (any rough ideas??) i am aiming at keeping this for about 2 years then getting a Type 25 hopefully

Anyway is there anything i should know with regards to running the car (ie warming up and cooling down?) servicing times ect....

Cheers

Darren

 

welcome to the fourm mate if its your first scooby your goin love it allways let it warm up before a drive, cool it down before switched off or drive it under boost for 1 mile before you switch it off , allways warm up the car before giving it a good kicking,will waiting for some photos

 

cheers for the advice fella,i have had a turbo before but not 4 wheel drive (fiat coupe 300+ bhp) killed 2 engines in 12 weeks! so it had to go

Hopefully wont have the same luck with this!!

 

Welcome to the family.

 

Just pay it the respect it deserves mate, bit of mechanical sympathy and all that. Be prepared for massive grins, nothing goes like a scoob. Im about to pick up my 3rd

 

congrads fella,this might sound really sad but after grabbing an hour on the setee (little baby stole my side of the bed when i could not sleep! ) and after numerous reruns of jeremy kyle i even thought about doing the ironing to pass the time!!

i honestly feel like a kid @ christmas!!

 

Nice one mate i know the feeling of a new car

You will love it, if looked after she will be fine. From owning 8 imprezas, Uk models seem to be a lot more reliable than imports (Probably the japs kill them until they are imported lol).

Good luck bud hope you enjoy it.

 

am still in the bad books though after dragging the missus to and from the garage (it was her birthday yesturday!! s)

 

Enjoy matey, keep plent of money aside for fuel for the first month, cos youlle be parked up and think ill just pop out and stick the lotto on.............20 miles later. :-D

 

I had to wait nearly 3 weeks for mine so was properly shattered lol!

Well worth the wait. Looking forward to pics

 

nice one fella, you're going to love it. respect it tho too as it will kick your *** back if you think your invulnerable. safe and happy scoob driving. nothing but smiles per mile with impreza buddy

 

'04 wrx ppp roughly 265bhp good choice and yes greetings/enjoy/watch out for the mobile cameras they gonna point straight at you now lol

 

Get yourself down to your bank and talk to them about how to go about a re-mortgage.
When that tuning bug bites it really doesn't let go, lol.

Enjoy fella.

 

I have started already!! Hmm,there is a scratch on the gear **** so I must get a new one,have looked into a remap aswell but want to make sure all the prework is done first cos that's where I went wrong last time (done loads of mods and did not do anything about the fuelling)

 

Do youz think I should get a 1 year warranty (£200 extra) for piece of mind?

 

only get a warranty if u plan to keep it standard.

 

Too late for that,its got a decat,induction kit,brembo brakes ect,will this make a difference to the bhp?

 

 

nice car :-)

 

Nice looking motor. I keep thinking about black wheels for my blob.

 

Yeh its gotta be either gold or black wheels on WR Blue imprezas they look the best.

 

That looks very nice chap.
I'm a black wheel fan too.

 

Nice one she looks sweet, check what the warranty covers and i would definately go for it if it covers gearboxes etc. If they accept mods they would only fit standard parts

 

What's the price in the window ?? It's not £8300 is it ?
Can't quite make it out.

 

£5500 fella,think i have done ok!!

 

Yup, I do. What's the milage?

 

In additon to SN try out NESF.. Scooby forum for us north-east boys.. I'm fairly new in there and they're a cracking bunch as in here..

 

Made it home in 1 bit!!! drove passed an sti on the way and got the "Nod & Wave!!"
Milage is 69k,Think i will have a sit down and read the manual now...............NOT!!! i live in the countryside ffs!! am away oot for some fun!!

 

Looks very nice, and had the spot light surrounds I am after but just can't find!!!

 

Found my first problem!!! When the rear heated window is on it interferes with the radio!!! Any ideas???
