Why all the negativity about the 2.5 engine
i just got rid of my 07 wrx hatch 2.5,head gasket failed.early engine are terrible 07 but i was told round 09 10 are much better,a 07 engine if you plan to boot it about then expect a bill at some point or get the engine built,or just drive it like a granny and it sould be ok,changing oil i would say dont really make a diffrence,i changed my oil every 5000 mile in the hatch used shell full synthetic and genuine subaru filter and it did not stop it failing.at the end of the day any engine head gasket can fail,dont matter if its a 2.0 or a 2.5 if its going to go it will,you buy a second hand car,may have full service history but that dont tell you how its been driven,so you buy a car on your judgement and if it fails it fails its just 1 them things.even though the head gasket failed on my hatch i am still thinking of getting another 1 just a later model maybe a 09.

05 blob wrx
i will see what the boost is doing when i fit gauges this week,just waiting for the pod to arrive,got gauges all ready.the car is a bit squeeky over bumps from the rear end so got that to sort as well its driving me crazy but apart from that am very happy with the car,centre console panels was looking old the silver had started to show its age and was wearing off so i gave them a nice new coat of black,much better then the silver.

05 blob wrx
had my blob about 4 days now,all ready got the urge to change things on it, mods it has are 3" decat exhaust no remap,i allways thought if you decat then would need a remap to run right,this runs spot on. sti style rear spoiler and 17" alloys things i have planned so far lip and side skirt extensions foglight covers prosport gauges perrin wing stiffies may change back box the 1 on car looks a bit dated and will add a panel filter but not look't yet to see whats in the box uprate the disks and pads all round add some coilovers maybe. thats my plan so far,i did say i was not doing anything to it but that lasted about 2 hours from getting car lol

imprezzi hatch 2007
@Xander the jury is still out on that. Good things - I like the looks of the blob and am defo loving the punch it has and i have ideas for it and lots of spare parts from my last blob. bad things - i hate the green dials and stuff look cheap and dull compared to the red in hatch and basiclly the quality feel of the hatch interior makes the blob feel real old and cheap inside now,but am sure that will go away after a couple weeks driving it,think am going change front seats as well as drivers seat is so uncomfy

imprezzi hatch 2007
@Xander its the wrx,only mods is a decated 3" stainless exhaust for now it feels a lot quicker then my hatch was. @kershaw-330s it was a subaru specialist and a good one at that,that told me worse 2.5 is JDM hawk so i would belive him.

imprezzi hatch 2007
Everything on the wrx hatch engine is diffrent to the blob.its not just hatch wrx engine these machanics told me hawkeye are same.1 machanic showed me at his garage.their was a hatch 330s on lift with engine out.and a sti hatch with head gasket n other stuff wrong n my wrx.he said the worse engine is in jdm hawkeye sti.i have my clear fog light n fog light for rear diffuser if your interested.think thats all i have.

imprezzi hatch 2007
Swap for blobeye needed a car for work.did not have 10 grand to do engine to make it reliable,was told 2.5 only eny good if you drive steady n dont give it any stress even spendin thousands they can still go and i just couldnt afford that n it blow up again,so back to trust 2.0 for now anyway.

imprezzi hatch 2007
well after lots of thinking its the end of the road for me and my hatch,was just going to take too much to sort and too long as well,after much advice from machanic's i was told lots of things,like hmm 2.5 engine is made of cardboard,2.5 is as reliable as having choclate digestives as break disks lol i thought that was funny,so after much sadness me and the mrs decided to let him go,i miss him allready but meet new member of the family

looking very nice,what size wheels and tyres do you have their,do they stick out past the arch,also is it hard to change colour of your gauges?
