I've had 8 pots, track only imo. I thought they were crap, but looked like they would stop time

On a classic? I'd love some. Although due to the size I'd assume they'd need more heat into them to stop properly?

imprezaworks · Oct 11, 2014

Mmm, doesn't ring a bell. Is it advertised on there?

They came on my car when I bought it. Ksport 8 pots, even changed to pf pads to see if they improved. I prefer my godspeed discs and £20 pagid pads, I kid you not. Got good money second hand for them though

Pretty much and more than i paid back in april so all good. Did spend a bit on it servicing wise during ownership. Nothings next, slumming it as a 1 car family for the time being

imprezaworks · Oct 11, 2014

Ah that's good mate. Going to miss mine but onwards.

Worth every penny

Ray Gin · Oct 11, 2014

Is it just me or does that seem cheap? For the condition.

Daz. · Oct 11, 2014

Yeah that's very very nice!

I saw a scoob the other day and it got me thinking again!

Nah not really. I know it looks mint and an rb5 etc but it's an aquired taste imo

Hmm. Guess so. Personally I'd be asking for more if it was my car.

Just been looking at Type R's again, huge jump in price!

imprezaworks · Oct 11, 2014

Massive. Classics (good ones) have jumped imo. That rb5 looks great, like perfect if that's what your after. At the end of the day it's just pretty much a ltd uk model.

Luke... · Oct 12, 2014

Thought i would share this in here as some people may be interested. My Dad and Grandad have just bought this a few days ago. Was taken off the road 6 years ago as had an issue with the heater or something and has been parked up since. So needs a bit of tlc, hasnt really been looked after very much, the previous owners ex has keyed both sides and he then cracked the windscreen in anger. Plan is to make it perfect and enjoy it. Is mechanically sound though. Drives lovely. Oh and they payed the grand total of £250 for it

bill · Oct 12, 2014

Well done mate, nothing worse than seeing your car drive off with its new owner though lol

imprezaworks · Oct 12, 2014

Onwards and upwards. Not unhappy its gone really, concentrate on the Clio now

yeecup · Oct 12, 2014

imprezaworks · Oct 12, 2014

No dccd and rust. I'm after a minter. Like hens teeth

gambit · Oct 27, 2014

Not an Impreza i know, but my old Subaru Liberty Tuned by STI. EJ25 6sp, GTX3076r, rotated setup, front mount, CP forged pistons, balanced and blueprinted, Kelford 264 cams with significant headwork.
Made 500bhp~ at the fly
Was intending to get another Subaru, this time a Spec C of some sort or JDM STI widetrack, but the insurance quotes i was getting was the final nail in the coffin on that idea, best i was quoted was £1600p/a!

imprezaworks · Oct 27, 2014

Looks great. Love the wheels.

Ray Gin · Oct 27, 2014

Got the car back this morning after timing belt change and another oil change. It's only done 3k since the last change but thought while it was in getting work done may as well change it again. Going to order a new passenger window as there's scratches on it....£170!!!

Also saw my old inter cooler in the shed, can't believe how small it is compared to the current one, lol!

Should really have got a comparison pic. Car needs a good detail now before winter!

yeecup · Oct 28, 2014

Looks a nice late uk turbo, near to me too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261641269068?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Ol’ Tarby · Nov 1, 2014

A few ebay pics of mine I picked up this morning. Will get a thread up once I've cleaned it and taken some better pics. Absolutely love it so far though! Needs a few little things doing and the odd bit of tidying etc. but it's on 100k and got a full MOT so I can't really complain for 900 quid!

Not been in this thread for a while because it makes me jealous, I see nothing has changed,
because that is a f*cking epic Wagon!

Yep very nice car, test drove a spec c with a speed density Mafless tune and exhausts and it sounded and drove like nothing else. Pure delight. Had it not been for a £1600 annual insurance it would have been mine.

Ray Gin · Nov 1, 2014

Has anyone owned or driven both a type r classic and a modded uk turbo? I have been pondering over the thought of upgrading to a type r but not sure if it's worth it, seeing as it's a daily and won't see a track.

Day and night, first thing that would jump out at you would be the gearbox, very short ratios on the JDM or were on the couple I have drove.

Not sure what a speed density mafless tune is, but i would like a drive! Seems very well priced that red one from the quick read i had of the advert.
