looking good there chum

Doesnt surprise me - lovely condition that

Wotcha and welcome!!

looks clean - poss wheel refurb would set it off nicely and stop any corrosion

cant go wrong with a 22B :D from what I have been watching they do appear to be on the rise particularly the Type R and RA later classics

Wotcha and welcome - we have a few members for your part of the world, feel free to get stuck in and if you have a camera handy dont be shy post some pics of your new purchase :)

I have a similar size list and bookmarks :)

Wotcha and welcome - that interior looks top drawer :)

Surely that should read "needs to fit a sharkeye / hatch" ?? :lol: Give forge a ring http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Dump_Valve_for_Subaru_Impreza_MY_2001_Onwards_Including_the_2009_GR_STi--product--794.html

There was an engine on here recently for 1500 - with some serious potential - ok it is possibly an unknown but still less than 3k and you would be starting again with cdb and forged parts. Slap also is not necessarily a bad thing a lot of tuned engines have slap until they are up to temp - my lads 85cc 2T crosser has slap until it is warmed up. Bottom line - do you fancy a change?

Wotcha and welcome - dependant on your budget you could do far worse than go for this one however you may have to twist his arm now ;) http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/13368-2004-silver-blob-%C2%A335k-spent-in-last-12-months/

finally the excuse I need to stop paying the TV tax it was teh only thing I watched on BBC :D

lovely flat torque lines those no dips or flat spots

Wotcha and welcome Ben - We have a few fozzie owners on the forum with vehicles in various states of tune, now I have never owned a Fozzie but being on this forum a bit you pick up the odd nugget of information. As I understand it the Fozzie and the Impreza share the same basic layout which is supported by the fact you can get STi versions of both so in theory if you were to invest the funds you could have a 500bhp closed deck block 2 bar of boost running hay bale carrying workhorse of snarling death. Check out Farmerpugs thread he took a similar approach to what I believe you are looking at - a sub grand workhorse, but at that price be prepared to put some wrench time in. Fuel economy - its all a trade off, if you go NA then it will be less power but also less fuel consumption, the turbo versions use more fuel but dont feel as laboured under load - if you wear a diving boot when you drive the mpg is obviously going to be lower but the smile will be bigger - its all relative Im sure Stants and the other Fozzie owners will be along in a while to contribute but feel free to get stuck in with the forum

Awesome!!

Wotcha and welcome - feel free to get stuck in we are a friendly lot ;)

look at power to weight ratio as well as BHP - what can you change to make your car lighter?

Wotcha and welcome chum - great looking motors, any more photos of your track machine??

All the hard work done - easy miles from now on ;)

ahh a combination of issues - always harder to find but nice to hear it is all sorted now :)

Wotcha and welcome!!
