StewartyBoy Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 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 Stewarty Link to comment

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!! Link to comment

Now need to have a think!! Personally i think you should go for the silver classic stewart 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. Stevie Link to comment

Stevie 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. Stewarty Link to comment
