Sandals

I service mine every 6k miles

If the check is to make sure you have one, why not pick up a 2nd hand standard cat and just install it for MOT purposes? Cheaper for you and still have the benefits of decat! :D

Yeh engine wise you are identical to the hatch!

I would imagine that a fully forged engine would be pretty solid... as long as you do the usual, service regularly, warm up and cool down the engine correctly and not use the anti-lag all the time, should be fine!

What parts would you be looking for? Welcome to the club!

I am thinking gold as well :D

I'm not normally a fan of white cars but that is stunning :D

Gave her a good wash at the weekend, wheels are getting quite bad corrosion wise, previous owner didn't do a great job looking after them! Awaiting a quote to get them refurbed and painted! Question is... which colour: Gold? Gun metal grey? Pink.......?

I hope you can turn the anti-lag off as that may attract some unwanted attention from the rozzers!! It does look mental tho!

The usual, check service history, see if the seller has all the paperwork for the work done. Check for smoke out of the exhaust (blue smoke could be a sign of a dying turbo), listen for any knocks from the engine, check in arches for signs of rust etc

A lot of members here have imports so it can't be that much of a ballache!! Def keep us updated, if the spec list is true... should be an absolute monster!

It does look very good... seems cheap for the spec and mileage!

I do like a cheeky wee packet of sweets :D

Welcome to the club!! There are plenty of other members who have non-turbo cars!

That's a lot of kit for not a lot of money... be daft to pass this up, purchased!

I cleaned my IACV with petrol, worked quite well! Mine is different to the classic one tho

I actually considered that as well but I needed to use the adapters as they act as spacers as well, otherwise my new speakers would stop the window from going all the way down!

What parts do you have in mind?

I wave at imprezas mainly, or import Foresters... in my area, UK foresters are driven by older men... no offence Stants :D

Welcome to the club! Can't possibly comment on the quality of these... have you looked into getting a second hand STI top mount? Could work out cheaper. That's what I did!

-1 outside? Let's give her a wash... the water was freezing on my driveway! By the end of it, had a ring of ice around my car :D

Subwoofer installed and configured... compliments the new speakers very well!! Dinky 4" speakers arrived for me to install into the rear doors... almost there!

I have a Afterburner Vortex and it is pretty loud, but I do have a non-resonated centre section and a decat cat pipe :D

12" vibe bad boy... bought it off ebay for 30 quid!

Yeh absolutely, I removed my sub from the boot when i had to take my parents to the airport, never put it back in thinking the speakers would compensate, guess not... at least I left all the cabling in place so should only be a ten minute job hopefully!
