Default I'm such a noob!

... Quite literally! Hey everyone, thought I'd pop by and say hi.

I currently drive a '92 Rover 220 Coupe in Nordic blue (horrible I know) but it's on its final legs and after serving me well for over a year. I'm looking for a change.
I've got a VERY nice quote on a classic Impreza Sport 5dr and am on the lookout for one at the moment. Just got a couple of questions.
Is there anything to look out for when buying? Also, does anyone have any pics of the smoked lexus lights on a 5dr? My friend has the Rover 200 versions on his Coupe, and I must say they do look quite nice, (ad much brighter than std, but that's not hard) so was wondering if anyone has fitted them and what they look like.

Thanks guys.

Peace

have you not considered saving a little extra for the turbo, or are you more after the handling and image rather than the power?

welcomes to you anyway fella.

I would like a turbo, but being 20 (less than a month to 21) having 0 NCD (but pass plus) and having 1 non-fault accident on your record doesnt help insurance matters.
I'm more after a good reliable car that has a bit more image, and the Sport is that. It's also cheaper to insure than my Rover, with the added bonus of being able to actually fit people in the back..

you should talk to SCOOBY_MAD on here, he has one of the best examples of a sport around.

You're probably looking at a Phase 1 Sport then. My son has a Phase 2 sport (1999 onwards) that he is selling. Get yourself over to .:ImprezaSport.net:. and have a nosy at the others cars.

Yeh I did see that one actually... Shame it's bright red though.. It is only 35 miles from me so it wouldn't be too far to have a look.

Yeh, Rover did Tarty all through production, but for 1 year, they had Nordic Blue too... Dropped it after a year along with Poly blue/green.

Only 2... I had a mint 1997/P 1.6 Coupe in Amaranth, lowered, big 'zorst and ZR hairpins, was great... Then some stupif f***tard shunted me with his VW transporter and my Coupe got written off. Now I have this one, and had it for over a year. It's an absolute **** though. Big ally racing rad though.. very handy for keeping water temps down.
