So ok, hadnt planned on buying another Impreza until at least next year, but after shuffling a few finances and sticking in some O.T I'm now looking for a second Impreza. Has to be Classic, has to be around 3500 and it will be an ongoing project that will probably be stood in a workshop under construction for a bit. What is the best classic model that is obtainable in that price range, to start a project on i.e ecu, diff etc.

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. I know a bit about these cars, but not anywhere near what some of the "tuners" know on here, im only a mere agricultual engineer. lol

Classic for me mate. Just bought the girl a new Ibiza, have a van and an L200 as company cars, so just a toy for me.

I like the silver classic but the white classic looks ridiculiosuly virginal! What do you guys think? Pros and cons!?

Would be the white one for me too. sorry stevie I thought you were just going to keep a hold of yours.

Bodywise I would totally agree, immaculate looking car but the modifications and the quite highly regarded ownership of the silver classic tends to pull me. Now need to have a think!!

Personally i think you should go for the silver classic stewart :lol: then i can buy DRB5's white one.

On a more serious note if you are interested in his i have a contact number for his dad if you are interested.

Both are excellent cars mate, its just what the cars going to be used for I need to think about really. Of course want it sound inside and out, but if I can save money performance wise with a modified block to start out with that has a reasonably good background then I'll be swayed towards the silver classic. Im not making a move until the end of this week as per buying a car, so keep me updated on your position as far as buying the car. If we have the money at the same time, I'll of course take a step back.

Glad to hear you're getting another Scooby!!! :lol:

Hi Richie, hows things? We still ok for the McRae run?

Yeah taking my time this time, understanding better what exactly I want out the car and basing judgements on purchase with a lot of information ive gained from here. Ideally RA, as ive seen a good few of them in my pricerange, allbeit their rough around the edges but I guess thats what I want from a project.
