An update on how my new car n 1st ever subaru impreza is going if anyone interested...😐 1st decided to keep her. I have an oil leak. Quite bad till oil cools. Quite central the oil leak. Turbo definitely or engine definitely lost power like after lag the boost isn't as powerfull. When warm seems to misfire a little with reving but not always. Never when driving. When i say reving it, i meam when I'm checking to see if reving, which i stopped now. I dont like to high rev any car. Engine fan seems to come on earlier than before and I'm Driving as slow as possible at moment. Coolant level is good. Temp never exceeds beyond what it did when I bought it. Fan doesn't seem to lower temp though and stays on. I could be paranoid with this. Daaaam. 😂😂 I owned a Renault 5 gordini turbo for 12 years it was a 1984 car so I doubt it how I was driving it that caused these issues. But I remember the anxiety of always thinking what's up. Only had issues with blocked carburettor in 12 years. Regular service seemed to keep it going. Sold it when realised I love metal too much. Was being a good boy for 5 years then couldn't help myself had to buy this. I love the bug eye ones. I was gonna get water pump n cam belt, upgrade fuel pump, ugrade injectors, change oil, change spark plugs and I'm sure with new oil leak fix n maybe new turbo I'm looking at quite a high figure £££. Does anyone know of or recommend a scoobyclinic? http://www.scoobyclinic.com/servicing_diagnostics.htm Does any anyone know of or recommended TDRacing?http://tdracing.co.uk Does anyone know or recommemd advancedautomtives? https://www.advancedautomotives.com/subaru-impreza-ej25-forged-engine-rebuild-kit-500bhp-stage-2-sti-wrx-avcs-9014-p.asp Also I'm thinking at 112k miles to rebuild engine now. While and I know with good management the engine can go a lot higher in miles seen some at 150k. I'm only gonna be doing like 1k miles a year So if fix the oil leak n diagose the small power loss i should have plenty of life left but if i end up fixing things like this over next 5 years what the point of putting out fires as I go along? I mean didn't see a subaru impreza wrx 2001 with full service history in a year of looking so buying a good one was like 6-10k. So realistically I should spend some dollar n put her up there in ranks of good examples out there. Cheers 🤗

Your right 😂. Thank you.

I got it in my head to just rebuild engine and run at 250-260bhp then n keep it?

..Really appreciate the advice for a novice here. Yeah I found two tools for raising the car in boot I'll definitely be raising it!! There is small bit if bubbling on rear arch that I'll address. The turbocharger seems to have dipped a little power maybe I'm paranoid. What one should I buy if I wanted a new one? Like I'm thinking 260-280hp is plenty of power.

Hello!! I bought a subaru impreza wrx 2001 112k miles. Absolutely love it but I've already decided to sell it!! I can't afford the fuel 😂😂😂😂🙈! Dam. Impulsive buy always wanted one. I only owned a mark 1 Renault 5 gordini turbo so I'm not used to a big L car fuel. I'll sell after summer. It has had a stage ecu tune, quick shift kit, new gear box, coil overs, new stainless steel header, cold air induction kit and a stage 1 clutch. It is rapid. Wasn't expecting it to be this fast!! Could anyone help me with what work I should consider doing to attract buyers when I come to sell it? Like I'll do the cam belt and water pump I'm sure that will be worth it? I know you can't say with seeing car but any direction of things I should look out for? Thank you so much!!
