Subaru Impreza - the daily hack

[Gambit]

ok so after deciding 3 or so years ago to put the car on classic insurance i decided i wanted something cheap but easy to maintain - so picked this up 

totally standard 99 UK Turbo - 215bhp



then done a few bits n pieces just to make it a bit nicer
Prodrive Springs, KYB shocks, all top mounts replaced
Sti front splitter



So 215bhp was becoming a bit slow feeling. so over time picked up
Prodrive Performance Pack (ECU, Full Exhaust, Intercooler Y-Pipe)
Dump/recirc valve delete
Sport Cat Downpipe
Newage Intercooler setup (bigger & cooler )
braided brake hoses
solid droplinks all round
plus nice set  of Raceline RL-7 alloys to give it the true rally slag look

now sitting at 270bhp and makes a lovely driving daily hack!

Old Skool Scoob FTW

I've got one of these as a quick go to the shop car (6 miles away as I live in the country) don't do many miles in it but its fast, fun and handles like its on rails, expensive to run but really good cars, had a few of them over the years....

they aint that great pretty thirsty but guess it depends on how loud you like to press the noise pedal, i dont miss the £70 a wk v-power fuel bill that came with the R32
