My first impreza

[theduck]

Just re-registered following the forum issues.  So I picked up my first impreza today, a 2002 bigeye WRX.  Absolutely love it, and I haven't even given it full throttle yet!!

 

As they say, a picture says a thousand words, and heres a few thousand to get you going!  They are from the original advert and I will take some of my own soon.

Hi mate thanks for resigning up. And sorry about the issue, way life goes sometime I guess :)

And amazing looking car I have to say I like it a lot and I'm also a fellow bug owner ;)

And Blobeye dash very nice :D had some money spent I would say a great buy

Thanks, have to say, I'm not, or should I say was not, normally a bigeye fan, but I saw this and absolutely loved it!

Definitely thumbs up here looks great, I agree with Gambit it has had some money put into it, well done on your purchase, do you know what power it has?

[Gambit]

I'm a massive Hawkeye fan and felt the same as you with bugeyes, and had a blobeye but sold that on but still got full use :) Father in law forward planning ;) 

And my Bug I've had that long I can't sell it but might soon I keep looking at hawkeyes. But will see what next year brings it will be hard to let it go now :)

Have to say I was disappointed with the look of the bug eye when ιt came out!! ! But that one looks really well in that colour combo!! Looks lιke a nice buy, welcome bud!!

[theduck]

Thanks all.

 

Iain I'm told its running about 270-280bhp, but no dyno print out.  Will have it on the rollers at some point.

Wotcha and welcome - what a beast some serious attention paid to that one - you know what though I think you could go 18" on the rims if you wanted to I think with the rest of the mods it wouldnt look over the top

Thanks all.

Can't turn your nose up at that! I'm sure the smile is still on your face now, I bet that was the best drive home? Now comes any excuse to get out in it " milk dear I'll go and get it" from the next county lol ;)

Nice car like the wheels

Had an issue today with a misfire, turned out the lead to the coil had come loose on number 4 cylinder and caused the misfire.  All sorted now and had a lot of fun in it today.  Couple of pictures I grabbed earlier

It is a great colour that
