ImprezRX Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Hi, I'm buying a Impreza RX 1.5L soon as a mess around car and I'm trying to find a kit for it as stock is awful. Any idea what kit this might have? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201601079870517?make=subaru&maximum-badge-engine-size=1.8&radius=1501&page=4&sort=priceasc&search-target=usedcars&postcode=ne232sl&onesearchad=used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew&logcode=p I may even buy that one if it's available by the time I can, It's amazing for the price. Does the RX just use a WRX kit?
aucky Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 hi,yes the rx uses the same bodykit as a wrx. 1

I mean personally i hope that one I linked is still for sale closer too when i get the money! Any idea if those bucket seats come stock?
Jimmymac101 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Why not STI or wrx rep it? theres a fair few breakers around the uk that could supply body parts and they are all direct fits! Mines a STI rep and it looks millions times nicer than standard :) james

I can pick up the car for like £3-4k almost brand new and yours looks extremely nice!
Jimmymac101 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Cheers man I rather like it you got the 1.5 or 2.0? mines 2.0 I hunted high and low for one and come up trumps and found this full rep'd already, however I did pay for it 7-8k and 40kmiles on the clocks Only thing I feel mines missing is springs or coilovers but they will have to wait lol heres a couple of breakers i found http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-Sti-2-5-Engin-6-Speed-Dccd-2008-2009-2010-Breaking-/161938517512?hash=item25b449ae08:g:mIoAAOSwT6pV6JK6 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-Sti-2-5-Engin-6-Speed-Dccd-2008-2009-2010-Breaking-/161938517413?hash=item25b449ada5:g:g28AAOSwpDdVfgLf James

Jimmymac101 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Try this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-SUBARU-IMPREZA-RX-GREY-VERY-RARE-STEEL-GREY-LOW-MILES-FSH-MINT-HAWKEYE-/161951584908?hash=item25b511128c:g:iDAAAOSwa-dWoQEI As for body parts, personally id say yes genuine parts will always fit better the reps but all depends how deep your pockets are :) James

Personally i do like the stock 1.5L RX but with a kit on it does look alot nicer. How much would you say you paid for your kit?
Jimmymac101 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 As I said above buddy I purchased the car exactly as is so I wouldn't have a clue to what it cost :) £3000 on a first car isn't bad! I paid £3800 for a 1.3 starlet ( non turbo ) when i was 17 and thats only 7years ago :) James

Gambit Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I paid £480 for a 1.6 escort for my first car :D 62k miles on the clock
