Personally i think Chris Evans would do a good job , he's pretty clued up and passionate about cars , just depends who he was teamed up with

Just noticed your posts total , ya can't leave on 999 !!!

Has anyone got any advice on removing the rear bumper on my 1999 classic uk ? I'm having the rear arches replaced soon so got to get it ready for the work, i'm sure it'll be pretty obvious once i get underneath it but if anyone's done it before any tips/advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I just sold a Golf diesel to finance my Impreza purchase , you wont go far wrong with it but you will be back !!

Ok mate thanks , don't want to spend my hard earned cash unless i'm 100% certain they'll fit so i'll have to do a bit more digging :)

Here's one for the gurus, I've spotted a set of wheels on flea bay shod with winter tyres, so thinking about my first winter enjoying the Scooby ( I know it's a long way off !!) they are off a wrx 2002 , will they fit my 1999 classic uk turbo , fingers crossed

I would'nt worry about that they would never contemplate swapping the car for a fault such as this , tell them if its not sorted asap your going to trading standards . Its worked for me in the past

Sounds like you've got a bit of a dilemma fella ! As with all modified cars you will never recoup the true value of what you spend on them , there all money pits at the end of the day. You could pick up a half decent classic for under a grand nowadays and with the repairs and remap you could be looking at spending that . And your car would still be worth as much as it was before ya got yer wallet out. Is it worth keeping ? depends how much you've already invested and how deep yer pockets are. How long will it last ? they'll last forever if you keep replacing the broken bits ! It's all down to personal circumstances really, any car approaching 100k is going to need lots of tlc (and cash) so how much do you love your impreza ?? B)

I put the Mintex kit on my X-type Jag , just standard discs not grooved etc . I'd say they are ok performance wise but the discs do seem to be wearing pretty quickly. I paid about £120 for full set , so these may be better quality as they look more performance orientated which is what you need for Scooby.

Sorry mate, couldn't make the "meet" , car not ready (see original post) How did it go ?

Hi there, Had my car a couple of weeks it's a 1999 2000 turbo , got it for the right price but it needs some TLC mostly cosmetic as the engine sounds great (thankfully). Biggest job is replacing both rear arches , then just tidying the bodywork. Two questions, firstly what is the best product for cleaning the fabric seats as the're quite stained. Also i noticed the front calipers are Prodrive items are these standard on my model ? Cheers

Gambit, how does this set up work ?

Hi mate , is that £250 for one side ?

Cheers Jay, You got me thinking now , gonna be recording my progress anyway so might get to post it up as a project when i get used to using the site

I just paid £220 for a pair of rear arch repair panels , so your all inc quote sounds pretty good.

Good evening all , After many years of admiring Subaru's i finally bit the bullet and got my first Impreza last week . A workmates brother wanting rid quick as he'd already bought a new car, so i made a silly offer after a few pints of the black stuff and picked her up the next day . Mechanicaly its sound with tons of service history etc , its a 1999 uk Turbo model ,(last owner 9yrs) But its suffering from the common rear wheel arch rust through problems. see pic. I've just took delivery of two wheel arch repair panels, so gonna have my work cut out (literally) for the next few weeks (not alot of spare time) luckily i don't need the car in a hurry but would be nice to get it to some shows/meets etc.
