Believe it or not I have just done this ! Finally purchased my house so had room to play around on the drive haha guys it's as simple as xander said ! Took me an hour to do as the led bulbs have to go in a certain way and I didn't the first time so having to dismantle a second time added unwanted time :) no need to remove bumper result james

Got one on my RX and have no problems at all :) only time it ever gets a little wet is when I use the jet washer but its minimal amount of water so nothing to worry about :) James

A good friend of mine is selling this Kona Stab Dh bike, Grab yourself a bargain and a piece of history http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kona-Stab-Primo-DH-Downhill-MTB-Triple-Clamp-Fox-Vanilla-/301858207265?hash=item464826b621:g:3VsAAOSwnLdWp-gx James Admin if this is in the wrong place apologies i couldn't find a non Subaru sales section :)

As I said above buddy I purchased the car exactly as is so I wouldn't have a clue to what it cost :) £3000 on a first car isn't bad! I paid £3800 for a 1.3 starlet ( non turbo ) when i was 17 and thats only 7years ago :) James

Try this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-SUBARU-IMPREZA-RX-GREY-VERY-RARE-STEEL-GREY-LOW-MILES-FSH-MINT-HAWKEYE-/161951584908?hash=item25b511128c:g:iDAAAOSwa-dWoQEI As for body parts, personally id say yes genuine parts will always fit better the reps but all depends how deep your pockets are :) James

Just post on here I'm sure to see it, if I can't help someone else on here will :) I'm running a standard STI 4pipe exhaust :) have you considered this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/161951584908 james

Cheers man I rather like it you got the 1.5 or 2.0? mines 2.0 I hunted high and low for one and come up trumps and found this full rep'd already, however I did pay for it 7-8k and 40kmiles on the clocks Only thing I feel mines missing is springs or coilovers but they will have to wait lol heres a couple of breakers i found http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-Sti-2-5-Engin-6-Speed-Dccd-2008-2009-2010-Breaking-/161938517512?hash=item25b449ae08:g:mIoAAOSwT6pV6JK6 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-Sti-2-5-Engin-6-Speed-Dccd-2008-2009-2010-Breaking-/161938517413?hash=item25b449ada5:g:g28AAOSwpDdVfgLf James

Why not STI or wrx rep it? theres a fair few breakers around the uk that could supply body parts and they are all direct fits! Mines a STI rep and it looks millions times nicer than standard :) james

This build thread is missing picture man ....... hook us up with some :P James

any new on this buddy? James

Jezza, hammond and may used there piggy bank savings for it hahah

BC coilovers are full of win on any car !!!! Scooby world sell pre lowered and lubed coilovers ready to bolt on :P james

why doesnt he try and find the same as you ? i also have a RX hatch and its not slow but its not overly quick if you know what i mean? I can imagine the 1.5 would be dreadfully slow compared :/ never owned or driven a auto impreza so cant comment :) James

I see you live in london..... that could be half your problem as insurance play the post code lottery unfortunately!! have you looked at impreza RX hatchback ( non turbo ) and is fairly cheap to insure but then again i live in a fairly decent area just to put things in context, when I started driving nearly 6years ago I brought a 1,3 starlet na and paid £2800 year!!! and things have only got worse for new drivers :( James

I dont think your age will have alot to do with it unfortunately, Subaru's are high to insure for anyone who hasn't racked up there NCB. Have you thought about getting and Non turbo Subaru just to get your foot in the door then once you have some expericance ( 2 or more NCB, and same driving experience ) buy a turbo one ? James

what you going to do if they write it off ? buy another ? hopefully they wont though :) James

Excellent cheers mate! I think admin should pin that link for all to see :D James

Ahh good work jay I still haven't got one so if you could pass on any comments would be appreciated :D James

Picked this up last night....... whats with killing my wife!!!!! Im curious to know if anyone hasnt gone to the vault if thats even possible? James

welcome along :D James

Result .... worlds best car haha rag the hell out of it and don't have to worry! if you do have to use the scooby, 45p per mile will cover the costs for sure I was sent away on a course was 50miles there and back at 40p per mile for 5days so £20 a day! I only spent 25-30 in fuel ( 1.5 ignis sport ) :D James

That's ok mate, thanks for the link :) I've looked at them before as they have some good stuff :) no one can really tell me what will fit :( I personally would assume wrx would fit as it's the exactly the same car however the STi has wider arches so would say they don't Help me out with a lower car please :D James

Bumping this up as the missus is buying me these for christmas if I can find some :) do the STI and WRX springs fit ? Thanks James

I got a quote from infinity exhausts for a cat back with STI style back box to match my sti system on my 2008 impreza RX and they said £480 and would take about 5 hours :D James

£200 i really dont know how dealerships can get away with these prices! Good work on the diy fix :D James
