Default joined here 6 years ago and only just got one !

hello all

as the title says i wanted one six years ago so i joined your forum for research and the deal fell through sadly and i had money burning a hole in my pocket and ended up buying another car.

a random search on ebay the other evening and next thing i knew i had bought one i admit i did go look at it first and the listing hadnt done it justice.

here it is, im the 4th owner and full service history






im happy happy happy

im around Northampton so watch out for me, ill give a wave
maybe meet up at a gtg some time soon too

Looks great mate!

Don't mess it up with any chavvy mods, keep it simple as its nice and clean.

Vf35, supporting mods, remap, suspension, and brakes!

Enjoy the wallet draining experience of owning an impreza;-)

Nice to see a standard unmolested classic at 15 years old

Green n gold the perfect combination

Would love to spend 10 hours polishing up the engine bay
Look after it as it will only aprecaite in value

wow thanks for the welcome guys

Razorwrx1: Good purchase buddy, enjoy the Flat Four Rumble!
i have loved the sound of these cars for as long as i can remember, to me its just the best sound ever

lordharding: Would love to spend 10 hours polishing up the engine bay
be my guest i will attack that area soon, will re-paint the ic as thats looking scruffy and a few of the black brackets and rad top section soon.

mod wise it has a decat and exhaust and a bo valve but i have no idea if its been mapped to match it all up ?
seat of the pants would suggest over 200bhp but that could just be down to the traction putting all the horse to the floor and making it feel faster

the rear arch corners have returned to mother nature but other than that and a few car park marks its a loverly looking car

and its staying as it is appearance wise you will be glad to hear

once again thank you for the welcome hope to meet up some time.

these turned up very cheaply and i couldn't resist it

so a bit of gold paint gives me this look but im not sure if the colour is too dark



for comparison




your views are welcomed but im sure its been done to death before.

Thanks, yeah coming back to these pictures I think the greys definitely the better choice.

orange got mentioned today? I suggested day glow green as another idea to mess with both would probably look daft though
