SimonRoberts95 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi everyone I am new to the owners club and I have a subaru impreza 2.0 R Sport (non-turbo) :( I was wondering what I should do to it planning on keeping it a long time and a lot of upgrades any ideas welcome :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_gr7 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi mate, Welcome to the forum. Love the front end, nice clean model. I've got a 2006 2.0R legacy, so we probably have the same engine. Really solid engine btw, even though its non turbo. I find that I get good MPG using Shell Vpower, so that's certainly worth doing imo. There's a big meet on this Sunday at Lightwater Valley, should come mate. There are details here and here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonRoberts95 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah i have actually been using Shell v power fuel ahaha I always have used that fuel for my other car aswell but dam would have loved to come but I am at work :( any ideas on what to do with the car I am think nice big boar exhaust system first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi mate welcome to S.O.C I'd look at the STI spoilers if you like them some alloy's maybe lower it a bit, and like you said exhaust and tint the windows :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonRoberts95 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah I am thinking of getting the full car painted aswell but not sure yet firs things exhaust system and then alloys because the ones of are starting to rust a little then the windows you got any idea on what exhaust to get or do you not have a clue about it ahaha any help would be great I don't know a lot need teaching ahaha :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 look at handling and styling mods, upgrade the brakes for decent stopping ability suspension so it corners like its on rails, on this car the exhaust is more for looks and sound so have a browse and decide what is for you some examples in link but agree with Gambit on the spoiler and yourself on addressing the wheels if they look shabby http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=24_54 2 door conversion kit £950 and it is wider too ;) http://www.abwmotorsport.co.uk/#!newage-impreza/crkq these guys are local to you and built the 2 door Hawkeye http://www.just-subaru.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonRoberts95 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Some good advice there I am going to have a shop around about exhaust I have been meaning to pop Into revolution to get a couple of prices and there 2 door impreza looked good but I like having the 4 doors bit more practical and thinking of putting an sti wing on but not sure yet because they don't come cheap but alloys need changing desparatley but I don't have the money right now to do anything just planning and getting it ready so I know what I want I was looking at these alloys what you guys think http://www.revolution247.com/catalogue/shop-by-category-alloy-wheels-rota/rota---force-alloy-wheel-gunmetal Then black the windows out aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 thumbs up from me - rotas tic gunmetal grey against silver car tic dark windows tic ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusNoGood Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Nice car mate, welcome. I have a silver blob WRX. Got to say I prefer my wheels then they are dark and dirty all smothered in brake dust..so I'm going for a dark grey colour I think. I have a WR Sport exhaust on mine which was a standard option. It sounds lovely. Even had a few people come up and comment [emoji16] not sure if you can get a non turbo equivalent? I just bought the back box second hand off eBay [emoji41] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonRoberts95 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Sounds good to me I love rotas just don't like the price ahaha had a few looks no comments though but exhaust and alloys deffo need to be done first before anything else a think am looking at about £700 for a full new exhaust system my standard one has some leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusNoGood Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I paid £110 for centre and back box [emoji4] You could also try plasti dip (cheap) to get an idea of wheel colour..that's what I'm doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I agree silver with dark wheels is a winner for me :) And like Jay said Rotas I love on the Scoob but don't come cheap :( I love the Nur spec-r exhausts again not cheap :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonRoberts95 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Aye they look good on scooby's like and I don't know much about exhausts like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'd have a look at some and see if Youtube has some video footage of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah they do unfortunately :( even 2nd hand can set you back around the £250 mark :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
