Default My New Car

Hi Guys

I used to own a 06 hawkeye wrx untill i had engine failure which put me off imprezas for a year ....

Now I have taken the plunge and purchased a 2004 impreza wrx sti JDM . i will be collecting the car in 2 weeks once its been registered in the UK and had its MOT .

Only things up with it is rear suspension creaking , so im guessing thats new rear shocks , and the rear passenger side drive shaft is a little oily right near the diff which I have been told will be sorted before i pick it up .

The car has 62,000 miles and is literally immaculate inside and out. It has a cat back exhaust and forged alloys as mods.

Tell me what you think lads and let me know your thoughts on the rear suspension

Regards

Ross

Guys is this one a wide track model ? I read that the wide track models have the flared rear arch like mine and the black outline on the STI badge and also the DCCD ?

Sorry im not a impreza guru

Cheers

Id stuck a set of rally armour on mine bit pricey but great quality. I was running 490bhp on mine lm450 turbo hyperflow fmic syvecs and meth so there easily modded still a perfect road car at that level as the twinscroll is lag free

Looks a clean car and at a great price!!! Are they indicators on the mirrors? Also you need to put a widetrack steering wheel in it, but looks a tidy car. Where abouts in Essex are you from.

Saw this for sale as I was looking for an STi too. I was super tempted but didn't think he wanted much less than the asking price. Was this the case, or were you able to knock him down a few?
