Default At Last I have One!

It's taken many years since I first promised myself a turbo Impreza but now I have one in the shape of a classic turbo wagon on a V plate. It is standard except for a K&N filter, Eibach springs and a Magnex back box.

Apart from getting me to work and back with a huge grin on my face the main use for my new toy will be to compete in autotests and 12 car rallies with the odd excursion into the forests to set out stages on local and national rallies, Trackrod, Malton Stages, Greystokes, Malcolm Wilson, Jim Clark, IRC in Scotland etc.

I have already found a sump guard but my main problem are the lights. My previous cars have had spotlights fitted but it seems a shame to spoil the wonderful looks of the classic shape with these so I am looking to upgrade the lights that are on the car, including the fog lights in the spoiler which are about as effective as a candle in a jam jar! Any ideas?

I'm looking forward to contributing to this forum as it seems a good place to be and full of extremely knowledgable people

I have a set of PIAA's (used) wtih genuine wiring covers and switch I bought these for my Classic but then sold the car, any reasonable offer accepted buyer collects, but hey ho you get the chance to see them then too


by reasonable offer I dont mean a silly high price I need the space

Thanks guys for the advice.

MickWrx, that sounds like a tempting offer. So far I have bought a sump guard for £30 and a full set of wheels and tyres for £31. Do you spot a trend here.......

A tight arsed Yorkshire man scooby owner, is there anything worse??!! If you are looking for some space and are happy with a 30 - 40 quid offer I'm your man. Let me know.
