quit Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Hi im matt, on my 4th classic impreza down to pure love ! Had 2 saloons, then 2 wagons , Currently have a V plate facelift Wagon which im building into my own little weekend track !Removed! / ode to my addiction to classics till I can get a p1 or type R in few years when I build my extension to my house lol Also looking at replacing my wifes 59 plate astra with a Hawk WRX in the new year Im based Nr. Peterborough
Jay762 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Wotcha and welcome Matt - thats a great line up you have owned, the P1 is a favourite of a few members on here and IM sure your wife will enjoy the change no end ;)
quit Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Yeah she don't use her Astra and wants a hatch impreza but I don't like them
quit Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Sure they will grow on me , can't afford a Sti yet which she wants too
BoofleGem Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Welcome, post a pic of your wagon, I,m a fellow wagon owner but a bug eye one :)
quit Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Yeah I'm after a bug for my best mate , wagon I will get some up later nothing special ATM going fit newage Sti intercooler this weekend then got a td05 coming , then will map her with a 20% meth injection
quit Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 still not fitted my fog covers, cant decide wether to be colour coded or carbon 3
Gambit Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Hi Matt welcome to S.O.C Very nice looking wagon you have there :D
Jay762 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 yup awesome looking wagon - hold out for the STI for your missus the difference between that and the wrx is worth it
quit Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Yeah but what it would be used for the brakes and Sti seats are the only benefit really
Jay762 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 wider track, bigger wheel bearings to dissipate any heat build up, nice fitted mats with a logo - lots of little touches here and there :)
Scooby Pete Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Welcome along, another vote for the Sti hatch. STI also has i drive, better styling and 6 speed box.
quit Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 I agree if it was for me but I spend my daysin a Octavia derv !! Only been out in y wagon 3 times since jae early sept She potters around with our little boy . Seen a few low mileage wrx on a 07 plate for about 5-5500 . As a sti hawk is 2k more , if I went sti route I would want to go forged 2.5 lump and serious power , then wagon would be used less so is some sense in both options just depends what's about when I hit that buy button Anyway cheers for welcome guys hope to see some f you at shows etc
Gambit Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I've been looking at the Hawks as of late :D I would say STI is a better starting point for any modding car but like you said they don't come cheap :(
quit Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Yeah can buy sti bottom end for naff all so easy upgrade really when time comes
Gambit Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Do you do the work yourself then ? I'd say should be fine unlike me I have to beg others to do my dirty work ;)
quit Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 I have a very good specialist who don't charge the earth lol
Gambit Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 That's the most important thing :) And handy too
