mine was on 185k when sold and still goin strong now.
would have another over a sh!tsubishi cr@p anyday.
this is a class build this seen it before! but its a awesome build!!
mowgli, have you driven an impreza at all?
I've driven a classic, owned a newage 2003 WRX and test drove a newage 2002 STI.
They just well I dunno its hard to explain really. The seem to do the job, but there not all bells and whistles in honesty I always found them well boring.
Granted the evo wasnt massive power by any means but it was so much better at what it did over any of the imprezas I took out the evo was a 1998 R plate evo 5. And to me felt more agressive looked better too. The imprezas have always been cheaper and thus earned the following they have with the evo's being a more premium brand and a lot more technology and equipment going into their cars.
They both get smoked by Nova xe's mind :P :thumb:
You need to try an impreza mowgli you will either love it or hate it.
everyman rally day 5 years ago. got to drive an evo (few years old) & a brand new roadgoing imprezza on a runway course.. maybe it was cos the evo was some old press car (no carpets. no cage) and had been round the block a few times, but it was like an old L200 pickup inside, and felt rotten, but the scooby was fantastic. and trying to get my head round how to load up the tyres to get it really going in the corners was great...
Awesome, at least you have had an experience in both of them (Y)
and didn't worry about getting arrested.....
I've had a shot in a couple of Impreza's, wasn't overly impressed with them. Have yet to drive a Lancer though, but I already know Mitsubishi customer care is disgustingly hopeless. Subaru score much better there, my sister was well looked after by the local dealer with hers.
Still, the Impreza is a bit of a chav icon which puts me right off. Same goes for the R33 and Supra :(
Is 276 bhp rirry mr offishall :) Rook vehy quick because of the gealbox yo seeeeQuote:

hello just let you all no car in paint shop so will be back home in a couple weeks to put back together will put some pics on later
Good stuff mate, look forward to seeing some pics.
Good to hear.
In regards to the scooby vs Evo discussion.
I used to work at an "Import" garage, and have driven various Evo's and Subarus. Out of the lot the most fun was definitely a Makinen Edition Evo 6. I actually borrowed an STI WR1 Impreza; 500 in the country, 316bhp standard and 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Insanely quick but handle like a trolley in comparison to an Evo of equal age, which is what puts me off them. Also as stated above, the styling of an Evo is alot more "extreme" and they aren't common as muck like older Impreza's so they do look something special when out on the roads.
i asked if anyone had done this a while back as i had most the stuff to do it
Its already been done to a few Corsa over the last few years.Quote:

10/10 to him!! i swapped my xe corsa for a scooby, best thing i ever did, love it!!
i've had millions of 'type subaru engine rattle into google' jokes and such forth but at the end of the day, so long as they're serviced regular, warmed up and cooled down properly, they're no different to any other 2.0l turbo engine. they're prone to going bang because idiots dont understand them and whack massive boost pressures through a standard engine and then de-cat them and wonder why they go bang!!
i reversed mine over a 2foot drop the other day on accident - nothing wrong with it at all, its perfectly fine so they defo get my vote on being bulletproof if it can survive my driving lol
any updates on this yet??
Any updates? I find this picture, but I don't know is it same and couldn't find other pics. Progress pictures could be interesting.
