hello everyone.

my names craig and im from Portsmouth. Ive had my eye on imprezas for a while now as my mate really wants me to get one.

previously had a full on drift weapon Nissan 180sx which pushed around 350bhp of which I sold recently to my regret. (will post pics for those interested)

but time and life goes on and so does my age

so ive recently agreed to what I think is a jdm white impreza wrx which I think the local tongue say its a bug eye?

anyway its a very clean car with low mileage and not molestered with pants modifications.

once I pick it up Friday ill take some pics to show all along with some work that needs to be carried out like cam belt and a stage 2 exedy clutch.

then it will be onto putting my own personal touch as some of the hardcore fans of this forum might not be too keen on ie rwd conversion, fmic, walbro, nice turbo, recurc, polybushes, camber arms, tension rods, better brakes, mega looowwws and some tidy skid rims. (wide of course)

the main reason for joining is im from a big Nissan background so engine mods on subarus are not my strong point so hope theres a lot of peope who can point me in the right direction.

be good to talk and ill keep all progress on here as think itll be a break from the norm as im allways changing my mind on how things look, go, don't go

thanks for reading.

 

Start a project thread when you begin doing things to the car mate, sounds like it'd be interesting to watch come together - I assume the RWD conversion is because you plan to turn it in to a drift car? Should divide opinion nicely White JDM Bugeyes are fairly uncommon too, I like them.

 

Cheers for the welcome. And yea in time I will as always a personal preference.

 

Im interested as well as I only live in Emsworth (about 10 miles away from Portsmouth).
I only bought mine about 3 weeks ago and im in the same boat as you, I previously have had VW's and know them well but not subaru's XD So I am on a learning curve too.

This place certainly is the best place to be for information!

Good luck.

P.S. Post up pics of your 180sx I really wanted one of these...

 

welcome in mate...

good choice of motor...

bugeye for the win

 

the bugeye is the best impreza for going sideways, it means you cant see its face then....

 

Haha brilliant !!!

 

Welcome mate, get some pics up of the 180

 

Haha I thought so at first until I saw what my mate started doing to his.

 

And 180sx goodness. (I wanna cry a little)





And yes me blobby will have to meet sometime see whats up

 

And some interior pics

 

That looks like it'd go sideways quite well

 

amazingly spents yonks getting it to that stage.
it will be missed but its gone to a good home.
hopefully ill catch this impreza bug

 

lol i looked at that car on driftworks , was a nice motor

 

Cheers mate will be chatting soon on wheels

 

Picking up the car now (kinda excited)

 

Will be takin the car out for a spin, and just a general tidy up today pics coming this afternoon.

 

Nice mate! Lookin forward to seeing how you do your bug!

 

can't wait to see this!

 

Thought id give it a clean first

Right then pics






Taken the spoiler off straight away as think there's allways someone behind me lol.

Also taken off the from number plate as IMO is just plain wrong (here??? Should be hear!!!)

 

nice some pics of my car on here (damn photobucket)

need to get the go pro out for rolling shots dude.

 

Looks nice - other than that number plate! Some people... Some wider wheels and a suspension drop and it'll be looking awesome.

Not sure on the blue wheels on the other car though!

 

Tbf the pics never do justice as its mental in the flesh

 

I bought these wheels second hand and came in this colour but by summer they will be either gun metal grey or white

 

Ill take them leave them blue ha

 

hell no put your ssr`s on there!!!

 

Not the right fitment mate,

Once this rwd process comes into play ill look into hubs etc.

 

It's just the colour I'm not keen on, the wheels themselves suit the car perfectly!

 

Pink?

 

Never! i did like the idea you had of pink on the front and brown on the rear
