October 30, 201312 yr 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
October 30, 201312 yr 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 ;)
October 30, 201312 yr Author Yeah she don't use her Astra and wants a hatch impreza but I don't like them
October 30, 201312 yr Welcome, post a pic of your wagon, I,m a fellow wagon owner but a bug eye one :)
October 30, 201312 yr Author 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
October 30, 201312 yr Author still not fitted my fog covers, cant decide wether to be colour coded or carbon
October 30, 201312 yr yup awesome looking wagon - hold out for the STI for your missus the difference between that and the wrx is worth it
October 30, 201312 yr Author Yeah but what it would be used for the brakes and Sti seats are the only benefit really
October 30, 201312 yr wider track, bigger wheel bearings to dissipate any heat build up, nice fitted mats with a logo - lots of little touches here and there :)
October 30, 201312 yr Welcome along, another vote for the Sti hatch. STI also has i drive, better styling and 6 speed box.
October 30, 201312 yr Author 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
October 30, 201312 yr 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 :(
October 30, 201312 yr Author Yeah can buy sti bottom end for naff all so easy upgrade really when time comes
October 30, 201312 yr 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 ;)
