Mine only has a Scoobysport back box, bailey dump valve and a set of PIAA spots which is how I bought the car. Have no plans to mod it anymore, well apart from some mud flaps.

Scoobies are ace but unless you do a little to them your not getting there full potential.

I think the smallest of mods can make all the difference, things like the upgraded rear anti-roll bar, B&M short shifter, and maybe lowering to get rid of the high ride height.

BUT, and this is a big but, becareful when you start, because once your bitten by the modding bug, it's a hard habit to break!!

Didn't touch my MY07 until it had done 115 miles and that was because it was that far from where I collected it from to TSL

The first thing most people do when they get an impreza is think obout how to make it faster. i could think of a far better place to start modding. THE BRAKES!!!!

they are as wooden as a Hollyoaks actor on some of the cars. that was the only mod mine had really. a set of big *** disks and some good pads.

Not me! I'm not into modding at all at the moment. Just a regular 02 PPP and i'm loving it to bits.

No mods at all on mine (UK Turbo MY00) - not even a replacement exhaust (if I ever do mod it will be this).

I kinda like the fact that its not modded, still got the Turbo 2000 AWD sticker on the back. Plus the original alloys too. I havent de-tangoed it either.

I'd like to know how many people have mods but there insurance company's haven't been told.

My 93wrx is standard, apart from a scorpion back box which is soon to be changed back to the standard one.

I am with them too but my premiums only £580 (on an MY94, 27yr's old, 5 yrs NCB, Cat2, parked on a drive)

As for the modifications. I have a dump-valve but other than that she is bog standard. Even down to the 'farmer-spec' interior. However, I have owned it for less than a month... so watch this space!
