Nice car mate. Which impreza did you ave ago with?

 

 

Nice car mate, always wanted one of these but bang for buck the scoob is much cheaper. Whats the spec??

 

Wasted a saph cos last night, wonder if i should go over to passion ford and start a thread there

Banny

 

Jim, you probably should have posted this in the General discussion area, as it is more likely to be seen by the driver in question.

Give me a minute though - I need to get some popcorn

JJ

 

Might have been me. I drive like an old codger.

 

Is it me (and i may be wrong) but are some of the guys from the cossie forum coming on here and boasting how they nailed/destroyed/burnt away an impreza, then they disapear off the forum with 1 post never to be seen again?

 

feel good beating a scoob running on 2 cylinders with a massive air leak as well from the fmic

 

Cosi's Are old news! I have raced two and it was the same outcome! they ended up in my rear view mirror, But watch out for the Nissan Pulsar Gt ( I think that's what they are called) They are little S***'s ,I had a one up my **** the other night but I couldnt do much cause Of traffic on way home from work. What bhp do they normaly start and top of spec.

 

Oh the shame of the person he beat probably saw him go by and thought to$$er and let him carry on driving like a &*%$

 

Actually he was up my **** goating me so I only gave him a bit of his own medicine. I dont drive like a tosser it cost to much.

 

Awww come on.

He has probably spent £10k on that classic ford shed trying to make it go faster than an ickle £4k UK Impreza

These classic car owners have got deep pockets.

Besides its 100kg lighter than factory due to the rust holes.

 

Escos-Jim?? More like "nice auralis" from rs-mania.co.uk me thinks

 

Actually,

He might just manage a boggo STI.

Not something with a Hybrid and Brake upgrades though!

James if you know the user, do you know the spec?

 

You can buy impreza's less than that now mine only cost 3000 (import).

 

scratch that Hol just guzumped me!

 

prob coz they need to spend most of there time fixing the car, rather than posting on the interweb

Escort coswoth a standard car + specialist engine from a 3rd party = scooby killer (???)

so a more accuate comparison would be scoob vs XR3i

 

what you on about Steve? Third Party?

 

Just a bit of fun boys...
scoob was a nice motor, 02 plate i think.... went well.
be interested in the spec

 

ditto, its hardly an xr3 is it...

 

Just a bit of fun...how dare you come on here and have fun

SN is not about fun, its about slating anyone who dare's have a go at impreza's.

 

Genuine question here folks. How easy is it to get 400bhp from a scooby then? I have a friend with an STiV which goes well, but appears to be stuck at the 350 bhp odd mark.

Also, providing there are no launches (which I fully accept will kill most transmissions with any reasonable power) how does the transmission hold up?

JJ

 

Slagging an Impreza?

Here?

With our reputation?

What is the man thinking?

The only Ford I'd ever really want. I'll be on here next year telling you all how I wasted an Impreza in my Lancia Delta - if it holds together that is

 

With the time money and inclination, quite easy to reach 400bhp. Its easier depending on which base model you start with, new clutch would be a must and maybe a spare gearbox knocking about

As for the Escos, still nice cars, stupidly overpriced and spend far too much time in the garage...would still have one though

 

The STi 5 is a good base car to work with but you will need a fmic, 550cc injectors, MD321H turbo and a remap.

Banny

 

its only a good base once the OEM bottom end has let go

to answer the transmission question, there are quite a few 6speeds holding up at 400\400 but it will be the very limit of a 5spd sti box and you can forget even trying to pull away with a standard 5spd box

 

I am on a standard bottom end with standard sti 3 gear box at around 380/390bhp with about 350 torque not had a single issue.

Banny

 

strange your profile says you have a "P1 Bottom end with a V9 crank" in an sti3...so hardly a standard sti5.

I have a P1 box running substantially over 350\350 and I have no problems either...400\40+ is a different story.
