white RA Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Hi Guy's, just thought i'd make my first post as a newbie i'm from West Dumbartonshire area ive just bought my first ever turbo'd car, a white RA. sold my modded E39 BMW to make the move. gotta say i'm enjoying the RA more and more every time i drive it. hope to attend some future meet's and get to know people and learn as much as posable about these crackin car's, in the mean time i'll lurk about the forum, taking in as much technical stuff as i can? here is my car, bought it last wedensday night with the help of two other impreza owners (cheer's again guy's) drive's "spot on" .. ive a lot to learn with both working on it and driving it, not that i'm a bit mad in a car just got to learn that i don't have to break anymore for corner's see ya'll about

white RA Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 looking good mate, u didnt waste any time posting photos on here.i will need to get a shot to compare the difference. hi Ian, no prob's mate .. it's the least i can do and thank's again mate for coming along i'd have been lost if it were not for the help you guy's gave me. fitted a full set of pad's today ... ask your dad how the brake's felt before i fitted them one front slider had seized but i soon got it sliding again, one front pad was in "3 bits!" lol what a difference the brakes are now getting that other thing fitted tomorrow morning also got clear front and side repeaters on there way as well as a turbo timer .. ive drove it about 90 mile's and i think ive only heard the stereo for about 5 mile's of the 90, you just can't get bored of the rumble and the PtissssssssssssssssH!!!!!!!!! PS, i used A-Plan, £40 cheaper than my 5 series BMW was and they never even asked if it was alarmed i'll catch you one night this week and you can have a shot .... yer auld-man had a wee shot yesterday he reconned it was pretty tight
white RA Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 thank's for the welcome guy's and the nice comment's towards my car, all i want to do to it is De-Amber the light's, turbo timer and maybe get the alloy's powder coated gold again (or is it Brass?) apart from that, that's it i must be honest i had my doubt's about scoob's but now i own one i just can't stop smile'n i should have got one age's ago! looking forward to attending a meet, so i can feast my eye's
mic Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 First thursday of every month as Welsho said, at the Harvester in Hillington... I just had my first run with them last month.... Still grinning lol
white RA Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 added my first mod to my Impreza today, clear front and side repeater's i'll post a pic tomorrow but i must say it look's far cleaner getting shot of the amber item's yesterday i was asked by another Impreza owner if my car had a private plate on it as it is far to clean to be a 1994 car!
white RA Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 gave the car a wee polish yesterday and fitted new clear front & side repeaters and today i fitted a Turbo-Timer
paul555sti Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 PS, i used A-Plan, £40 cheaper than my 5 series BMW was and they never even asked if it was alarmed I would double check that mate as the would not cover mine for theft until i got an alarm fitted.
white RA Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 I would double check that mate as the would not cover mine for theft until i got an alarm fitted. all is good as i got a CAT 1 Sigma installed and called them to change the detail's .. they still never made any comment about it not having one in the first place?? the company A-Plan put me on to are called Motor Direct
