Following my last thread on what cars / 350z's ... I'm getting a Impreza Sti. 2003 blob eye version in world rally blue. No need do comments about chavvyness etc im aware what they are haha, but drove it and loved it, and its a bargain IMO , and its completely standard which is why I chose it.
Just thought I'd post about it , looking forward to getting it and getting rinsed on fuel once again :grin:
-
Seen this in the flesh, i love it... Approved! :happy2: :jumpmove:
-
Haha cheers :smiley:
Want it now , no good at this waiting lark !
-
I'm going to the chippy round the corner in a min, will keep my eye on it for you...or hide chips in the grille... :grin:
-
hide a fish in the grill :laugh:
-
It should be in the garage :mad:
Will you get me the details of the steering wheel retrim guy when you can

Awesome (unless it has 555 livery) :signLOL:

Nah, Rothmans with a JPS spolier...
I have pics, crap ones granted, but it's a nice 'un! :happy2:
-
:surprised:
No stickers at all thankfully ! Seems to be a nice car, last owner was a 66yr old bloke who had it since 2008 and has done roughly 4k a year, all stamps from same Subaru garage and he's even carried out interim oil changes between scheduled services ...
Don't know whether to go stage one or leave it standard ??

Just stickered it up with my 80s fag sponsor selection whilst waiting for my fish chips and curry :grin:
Took a couple of pics on my phone earlier, after all it may never look that unmolested ever again... :grin:
-
Not gonna change the looks loads, thinking black roof again , black wheels , maybe -35mm springs
-
:worthless:
-
What Mr Greeners said!
-
I have none but will get some up ASAP :happy2:
-
Possibly the crappest pics of someone's new car ever, but here goes... :grin:

nice but i see these all day :signLOL

Oh, I thought you meant a bug eye, that's a hawk eye??
Very smart.
-
Like that! :happy2:
-

Blob eye chief :happy2:
It went bug, blob, hawk and then the ugly new one :grin:
-
Like it :happy2:
I was playing round with the idea of getting an EVO6 Tommi Makinen a couple of weeks ago. Decided to stick with the gti in the end.
I think people who dont know anything about cars will think its chavy but people who do know will be able to tell thats a good one and appreciate it for what its capable of :smiley:
-
There ok then pics , thought you said it was filthy, thought they'd been out ragging it :grin:
What are people's thoughts on black roof and bonnet scoop/ intake ? Got a feelin it'll look good.
And what about mapping ? It seemed plenty quick enough, can't imagine what it's be like with another 50-60hp

not keen on the styling, but i bet i i drove one would soon come round to it :love: as bet the driving experience is :jumpmove:
I think the boxer engine sounds awesome too :happy2:
-
It was quite quiet with the original exhaust so thinking leave it like that.. Thinking leave it standard as it will be generally more reliable , and I want to do some track days. Just always so tempting to mod as I've remapped every car I've owned and its always such a big difference..
No love for the Barack roof then :ashamed: haha
-
.
I can't think of a single Japanese car which I like the styling of but I appreciate what performance some of them offer. Nissan Pulsar GTI-R is the only one I would want. I have driven the Mitsu Evo X and it was an awesome drive but I hated the dashboard and interior.

if you start mapping these cars the bottom end is the weakest point
-
You can get them to carry so much speed through bends, that extra power really isn't a benefit - I'd leave it reliable and stealth.

Stealth.... Subaru.
Isnt that an oxymoron? :signLOL:
-
Well, more so than with one that's stickered up and has a lairy exhaust :signLOL:
-
Haha.. fair point!
-
Yeah the dash etc is sh*t... I think they look great in a daft way, theyre far from pretty though :grin:
Think ill just leave it alone then and just use it as it is.
Have you ever driven one on track tony ?
Last one - will winter tyres be worthwhile or will it be ok ? Ive never had a 4 wheel drive car

+1, I wouldn't go with a black roof and scoop either mate, will look a bit typically ricey and it's too lovely a colour to hide, plus imo the black roof thing has been done to death now...
I'd buy a set of bilsteins, some naughty pads for those lovely 6 pot Brembos, some track rubber then give it the bifters till you laugh yourself sick :happy2:
-
Have you ever driven one on track tony Beddie?
Not yet, but I know this lad that owes me a few favours that's just bought one and oulton's only round the corner so I'll let you know how it goes... :laugh:
-
Haha you're more than welcome to have a go :-) should be fun..
So im not going to buy the prodrive exhaust im watching on ebay !
-
they are good in the snow with normal tyres on but even betteer with all snow tyres on them--only down side is the tread of the tyre isn't got to be greater than 3 mm or it can cause problems in the diff--so don't get a unfixable puncture :surprised:
-
Haha you're more than welcome to have a go :-) should be fun..
So im not going to buy the prodrive exhaust im watching on ebay !
think we have some at work that they are selling cheap as they have been in stock for a while--get a price and let you knoe :happy2:
-
Very nice! Very jealous, although would have gone for a hawk :)

Much appreciated thanks :smiley:
There are a few sets on ebay that seem reasonable, one benefit of 17s at least ...
-
The hawk eyes are nice, but most in the higher tax bracket which put me off. The idea was stay cheap haha ..
-
Yeah hawk eyes do look nice but I'd still go blob eye for my favourite impreza ever...wr1 :drool: :smiley:
Plus, all the Hawkeyes have the 2.5 motor which isn't as tuneable as the 2.0 and doesnt seem to pick up and rev as cleanly as the 2.0..
-
Have you ever driven one on track tony ?
No, have passengered in one though and it nearly made me vom. Mind bogglingly grippy on semis.
