hi just oing tom post some before and after pics of my mint 2000 turbo was going to buy a newage this summer but as the car is so clean and has every subaru service stamp since new and im only the second owner i decided to just freshen it up and i also didnt want some chav getting there hands on such a nice example and smashing it up......, i have fitted bugeye wheels a stainless exhaust clear side repeaters and a forge motorsport bov which the jury is still out on tbh ...... after

 

Very nice - the alloys from the bug look much better on there than I thought they might.

 

thanks....yes i think they suit the car nicely grips better now to as they are 17s and came with new bridgestone pontenzas

 

i felt that 16s just looked a bit small on a classic

 

i had a forge dump valve on mine when i bought it and it ran like crap, removing that and replacing the MAF made a world of difference

 

i cant see no difference to be honest running like it always has done

 

How long have you had that car, Kez?

I recall going to view it somewhere around Watford last May, it popped up on Autotrader and I remember it was in very good nick for the mileage.

 

hahah yes i did buy the car from watford ,,,,,bit of a trek for me but was well worth it yes it has done some miles ,but has been serviced very well over the years and the body work is near faultless ,even had the subaru cassette player in when bought it ,,,,,,i took a chance on it with 160k but i reckon it had done most that on motorway and never been abused .......car hasnt missed a beat since ownership . i purchased it from exclusive autos .they have a white STI import still there thats been there a while and also looks very good. my car was up for 1950 then reduced to 1450 and i offered him 1100 and he took it with out no argument.

 

was filthy in there yard but they sent it next door to the kosovans for me to be valeted it came up like i couldbnt believe .......all it needed when i bought it was a knock sensor as it was kicking back on way home half way threw boost ...and that worried me as thought oh no i bought a ****ter as it was my first scoobie and didnt have a clue what was wrong but after joining SN and finding the problem using the fault code. i swiftly corrected it and fitted a new knock sensor and has been right as rain ever since

 

De-tango and STi rears

 

You've done very well there - I did notice it had gone down 500 quid, and I did think about going for a second look - at any mileage, a 99 Impreza for 1500 quid isn't a bad shout (unless there are wheels missing, or there's a lion in it).

Good to know I wouldn't have bought a shed had I plumped for it. I don't mind taking credit for the assist

Now all you need to do is freshen up the external appearance...

..like that, and consider replacing / uprating the basic structural stuff - anti roll bar, drop links, anti lift kit, bush replacement - and you'll have a very capable motor, and a good base should you choose to increase performance and radically alter the appearance. The world will be your oyster.

 

de - tango ???????? lol de badge im geussing i quite like the fact iut still has the dealership badge and i like the subaru badge too .......... whats the diiference between the rear lights

 

Buy an adjustable 22mm Whiteline rear ARB, set it to the middle hole and see how you go. Probably the most cost effective mod for a classic there is.

After that ported standard headers with a matching Harvey up-pipe, decat, panel filter and a remap

 

removing all the orange bits from your lights; swap side repeaters for black or clear, sti rear lights and Silvertech indicator\side repeater bulbs all round to ditch the fried egg look

 

Your rear lights are red, orange and clear.

The STi rear lights are just red and clear - http://www.scoobybits.co.uk/shop_stylingexterior.htm
