I know that the Impreza's run poorly with a atmospheric dump valve (HKS SSQ for example), however has anyone upgraded to an aftermarket recirculation valve? If so did the car run ok and what brand did you go for? I am intending on increasing the performance on my WRX (Cat-back exhaust, remap and potentially Cobb induction kit). Thanks Tim

I am after some advice really as Google hasjust confused me even more so.... I brought an LG television back in October 2013 and it has now started to become faulty. The optical and HDMI outputs are not working which is making viewing something almost impossible. I have looked at the warranty given by Currys and LG are only 12 months (labour and parts) which would mean that I would have to pay for someone to come out and repair it. I have looked at The Sales of Goods Act and that only states that “Goods must be of ‘Satisfactory quality, As Described, Fit for purpose And last a Reasonable length of Time’. Therefore if my television has only lasted 18 months and I paid £849 for it then surely it should have a long life ... more than 12 months and I should get it replaced/repaired at no extra cost. I need advice on what to do as i am expecting LG/Currys to charge me! Thanks Tim

Which recirc valve have people gone for?

Still for sale....

Ben, Are you able to do WRX hatch parts? I am after an STI style rear spoiler, carbon front splitter and a roof fin. Thanks Tim

It is always interesting to see what people have owned prior to their Scooby's.... Mine are as follows: 1998 Peugeot 306 D-Turbo 2004 Citroen C2 M.O.S Furio - One of the first modified in UK 1995 Toyota Starlet GT Turbo (EP82) - Big spec to take it to 195bhp 2008 Honda Civic Type R GT (FN2) 2002 Lexus IS 200 2007 Seat Ibiza Cupra PD160 - Tuned to 189bhp 2008 Ford Fiesta Zetec S TDCi I have had numerous company cars as well but they were pretty boring.... like the Fiesta Now 1973 Hillman Imp VTR - One of a kind 125+ bhp sleeper 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatch

Hi and welcome! Good to see another Hatch owner!

Thanks big help!!

How can I find out what "code" my Impreza is? I have been looking on eBay and there seems to be numerous codes for Impreza hatchbacks. Back in the day it was easy EP82 was the start of the chassis code on a Mk1 Starlet GTT so they were knicknamed EP82's however my chassis code doesnt appear to be either GH or GRB. I want to make sure i order the right parts so can anyone help???

Do they do an "oiled" version then for the WRX? I really dont want to go down the induction route....

That does look a lot bigger! I really thought this was a straight swap! Looks like my plans have been tharwted! I'll give those contacts a go and get some help and advice! Cheers ya'll

Are these not like the Green/Pipercross/K&N which run for miles rather than need changing every service? Reason I have two is I got one and misses brought me one so technically have one I don't yet need! Anyway few pics if anyone needs one! I can always buy another in 10k time ha ha

Thanks that would be great! I am hoping that the 08+ top mounts are like the older ones and they are a straight fit with no modifications.

Thanks i will keep an eye out then on eBay traders

As per the title i am looking to get hold of an STI top mount intercooler for my WRX Hatch and a set (4x) Prodrive GT1 alloys in gold. Thanks Tim

I have a new Cosworth panel filter for a 2008+ Impreza WRX Hatchback for sale. Looking for £30.00 inc delivery. I will post pictures when i am home tonight if anyone is interested. Thanks Tim

I am torn between the Hayward & Scott and the Invidia N1 Titanium. Both are Cat backs but can't see any reviews!

I think I won't bother! I was looking at the Forge recirc valve but if the OEM one is ideal I won't bother! Think I will stick to getting new wheels and coilovers! Is it true ET48 wheels fit the hatch?

Sorry to hijack this thread but does the STi exhaust fit on a normal WRX? Looking to get a Blitz or Hayward & Scott but can only see listing for STI's!

I have now owned my Impreza hatch for 3 weeks now and i must say every day i get more impressed by it. I do on average 70 miles a day and its quiet, comfortable and obviously has that bit of poke when you get some moron on your bottom! I am averaging 26.4mpg which is a lot less than my Fiesta Zebec S Tdci but hey its far more enjoyable to drive! Trust me you won't regret getting one!

I was quoted £400 to get my wheels done but I still fancy the Prodrive set decisions decisions

I want to get rid of the red not add more

I agree with the alloys comment. Mine have completely corroded which is common I believe on Japanese Cars ... it happended on my Lexus. I was think of just getting my ones refurb'd and painted gold as the Prodrive GT1's are £1350 with tyres :(

So I have just brought a WRX hatch and I was thinking of modifying it but tastefully. What do most people start with handling or performance? On the subject of performance I have seen some videos on Youtube and threads on US Subaru forum's that advise against BOV's and Dump Valves as they tend to make the car run poorly. Is this true? I have owned a Starlet GT Turbo previously and the BOV didnt cause any issues. Thanks Tim
