Not sure how many of you will appreciate it but i'm liking it so far.

Going to keep it for a wee while til the house purchase is sorted then come back to the Ford worl. Don't mind leaving this on the street but not a Cos.

Looks spot on mate, very capable car!

Always loved the look of a 2 door Impreza!

It's very pretty looking, but so is the wrapper on a Cadburys bar...

Edit: I like the sun stripe! Personally I drive my Cossie everywhere with the sun visor down 'cos otherwise I get distracted looking at the sky - sounds stupid but just me! So would have a sun stripe on mine if I could be arsed

Not my cup of tea but there is no denying they are a very capable car and being a 2 door means it's far less of a "clit" car.

Enjoy it

Love it

Never used to be a fan of Scoobs, but had a drive in one and it TOTALLY changed by blinkered and biassed view on them.

Cheers again guys.

Thought the blue and gold combo would be too much but because everyone is trying to be "different", the gold wheels are probably the least common now.

Still fancy some Compomotive CXT in gold for that 22B look after the other bits are done. Anthracite might look nice tho.........

Id keep the gold wheels personally, all id do to that is lower the front slightly to match the back.

I wouldn't change the wheels. Looks just right as it is (except the sunstrip!). What kind of power is it?

It's prob about 300bhp. Only mod is the de-catted Scorpion exhaust. Sounds great but just don't like the way it sits.
Been meaning to get rid of the Sunstrip since i got it last week but haven't had a chance.

Agreed VW_08, it needs dropped a little bit at the front.

They are, but this isn't one of them (see sig for clue)!

Easy mistake to make tho as it has the wheels and front lip.

Nice looking motor

I just purchase this to replace my Evo which was written off in Feb

Been in storage for about 5yrs so very very low mileage

Never had a Subaru before so looking forward to it.

Some car for your first Subaru! Need to come in past for a look at that when you've got it on the road.

What happened to the Evo? Has Nicky still got his Saff or is that long gone?

If i was to own a scooby it would have to be a 3door version of some type. The 22b is awesome though

To be fair, the STi isn't exactly bullet-proof either.This engine has been in for 11k.

They're great if looked after, but so many people overlook the MAF and O2 sensors. P1 engine suffers from the same neglect and ultimately looks soft.

Just did my MAF and Lambda sensor today at AWD as a precaution. Got hooped for £400 as a result!
