Mica Blue impreza turbo 2000 wagon

[Woodcutter]

Good job Nathan, glad you finally got the correct brakes on her!

 

[Big Pimp]

I hate you guys buying the classics. I still love that shape and sound of the flat 4.

My mrs would kill me but I'd love one of these a(or more likely the jap import with a few more horseys) as a weekend toy

 

[mckeown]

A jap one would be my choice if I decide for an sti. Makes me sound like a right old man but I'd also like the heated mirrors off an import!

Looks great, STI rear lights make such a difference to the rear instead of the Orange on the UK ones.

What a fantastic looking car! Such a soft spot for an Impreza Wagon .

there was few twitching curtains when you left mine the other night...

So the fecking clutch has started to slip but not very badly. So that will be done in the next while as I don't want to miss any possible snow time! It will however push any Gucci mods down the list.

 

[hannakournikova]

Diy it?

 

[mckeown]

I'll have a look at it. Might be outside my experience level! In fact i already know its outside my experience level. And id be doing it on the floor. Do you want to do it for me?

Would give you hand but I've no idea lol

Not that bad removing gearbox on these

 

[mckeown]

I'll cast my eye over an online walkthrough and maybe look into the motor gym. On the other hand I'm short on time and knowledge so may beneficial to me to pay my mechanic

 

[Jason]

For the sake of £100-150 best pay someone!

 

[mckeown]

Could it be done that cheaply? Anyone got a good contact around Belfast as I can't get in touch with my usual guy.

 

[bigsigh]

its a heavy auld job , but not a hard one , made more difficult on axle stands but certainly not beyond DIY

good opportunity to do rear crank oil seal too while your in there, if you do, keep the old one to drift the new one in

[hannakournikova]

He's away ATM think he's in Dubai. I'm gonna call him on Tues when he's back. @mthompo has recommended a guy if im stuck. Thanks for the help guys. I'll get the rear seal ordered up too.

 

[hannakournikova]

Ahhh rally season / winter sun....

 

[mckeown]

I know, some life of it!

 

[mckeown]

Small update of a years mot tonight. Clutch is holding well. No slipping so ill just drive away at her until after xmas. Mot man seemed to like her too!

 

[mckeown]

Just a small update that I've finally got round to buying the clutch/downpipe for her so will be fitting that next week along with fuel pump injectors and a remap. Car is going in for tints on Monday week so barring a splitter and a wheel refurb along with the vents being painted that will be the outside done.
Happy valentines day to me-

 

[BrookST]

Looking well, health to drive

 

[Stu Beck]

You will notice a big difference with the downpipe fitted. AI fitted one to my rb5 and it was like night and day. Felt like someone had let the handbrake off. lol Whos mapping it for you?
