jimmy people will NEVER take you seriously if you keep swearing at other members.
you claim you have changed and then revert back to the old jimmy.
the mods are not much better for letting you get away with it time after time after time....
people will wind you up as they know you will bite. rise above it as you now have a decent impreza and not a mid life crisis mobile you owned previously.

Thought i'd be the 1st to post this up as he'll just get fraped by all the non-believers but as I went with him to collect it i'll tell you all about it 1st hand.
The deal was a straight swap, the Custard for the Type R.
On 1st impressions the Type R is a "reasonable" example. 1 owner since import, 115kms on the clock, import and owner history, plenty of mot/tax, reciepts for the alarm system and uprated fuel pump, all previous mots etc etc. I'm sure theres better out there and there may be worse. Its clean and straight apart from a small amount of rust on the passenger rear arch, apart from that it need a good compound polish and some stickers removing.
Engine wise, runs very smooth, idles nicely, oil is golden, slightly louder tappets than my MY00 and completely standard apart from the de-cat exhaust and fuel pump. It drives very well, pulls strong with minimal lag, no nasty rattles inside, no clunking suspension, all very promising.
Interior is very clean, no sagging/rips etc on the seats, plastics all in good nick, i/c spray working etc but it needs a good hoovering out.
Bad bits. Boot release doesnt work in the car, folding mirrors not working, the stereo only comes on when the headlights are on (must have been fitted by a muppet), the cel did come on a couple of times which could be the de-cat or something else so its going to Area52 for a full checkover asap.
DCCD makes it fun to drive thats for sure! damp+corners=lightning reactions! And having no abs caught him out too (should it have ABS?)
Overall, I think Jimmy has got an excellent starter car to build on. He's trying to get away from the lairy chavvy ones he's had in the past and go for more of an enthusiasts car. Plans are to do a facelift bumper/lights on the front and sti spoiler at the back, new wheels and tyres and the rear arch repair.
Power wise, its a 1996 so i'm not sure what the remap options are (ESL?) but I think he's thinking of adding a panel filter and map to get it around 300/300.
I wanted to post this as I'm one of the few who has met Jimmy and we chat on a regular basis. He's had a tough time this year and enjoying his car is an outlet for him. His personal circumstances mean that he DOES have a lot of money to spend on a car in patches and has had newer more expensive Impreza's etc in the past. He's learning as he goes along but rather than being impulsive and getting ripped off he's asking questions for advice.
End of the day, the car has gone to a good home as the previous owner was thinking of using it to rag around his field. The guy he swapped with had 10+ cars outside his house and was a trader and said he couldnt decide what to do with the custard, chances are it'll end up on Ebay or be his toy for a bit.
So there you have it, Jimmy has a Type R and will be spending money on it on the right parts and at the right places to make it a good un, personally I think he got a great deal and wish him well with it

Ive just got back from the pub and is this thread seriously still going? Can a mod either close it or simply delete the damn thing. Im fed up of seeing this thread appear every single time I look in the General section and Im sure other members are too.
