I get your point mate don't get me wrong looking back all those years I should have done the same thing then got a petrol turbo later on in life. But I can't see why Subaru have done this the market out there for a half decent diesels is huge for me it doesn't work and impreza is a rally car not a Wiesel town car. I personally would leave it like it is and save for the real thing when the time is rite not even BMW can get a diesel engine rite so Subaru need something special for there's to be better.

ignore the haters, people are still pissy about the fact that age impreza was a hatchback and not a saloon/estate. It looks a cracking car especially for a 17 year old!

I understand what u mean I've had 2
Turbos already a t2000 and a blob wrx whole reason I wanted a.hatch is
Because m cousin has a 500+bhp sti hatch and the diesel is the only one I can insure Thay wanted 4000 to insure me on a r sport and the car was only 4500 I didn't see the point when the diesel was 1800 to insure and not
Many 17 year olds have a 2.0 diesel or not

Get a Zunsport grille on the front of your car.

Nice motor that S-GT is that the one that belonged to Finch Motorsport?

Not seen that type of grille

Yes I'm very pleased with the car, don't think car was owned by Finch, previous owner is down south.

Your a bit behind
They came out in June 2009 and discontinued 2 years later Due to the price going up from 20k to nearly 25k

Very rare car

I was one of the first in the uk to get one after waiting a year for it and everyone in my club agreed it was very quick and looked the part


Get yourself tints at the back
Sti Grills for the front including the scoop
STi rear spoiler
I had gold GT1 18'' on mine
Keep the original wheels for the winter and spray them black









Do a search on all my old posts for my progress reports on it for the 4years I owned it

Nice car you have there
