RS Grant Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Went down at the weekend and bought Impreza No. 6 from Englandshire... needs a couple of small jobs done and maybe a few small mods to make it mine and put an even bigger smile on my face!! But, gotta say, its nice to be back!! ...it even manages 300 miles to a tank of fuel which is roughly twice what my old Hawkeye did?! MY00 UK Turbo PPP+ Cheers, Grant
rio180 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 They look good in dark blue, lovely looking car.

RS Grant Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks guys.. 'tis defo a clean one. MM, if we're talking Knockhill MPG, then the SpecG Hawk struggled to do more than 90 miles (including the trip from Dundee) to a tank!! Dale, you're right..... I honestly had disregarded another Classic and was planning to go the sensible route of A4 Avant, BMW Touring etc.. however.. this one popped up and has had quite a bit of cash money spent on sensible upgrades already, in addition to quite a tidy 'OE' spec too. So I couldn't say no. Cheers, Grant
euan_r Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 nice purchase, properly clean classics are becomming rarer. ps. it always starts off as just a few bits and pieces.........
st3ph3n Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 You've had more cars than Tiger Woods has had mistresses. Well done.
scooby222 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 welcome back and well done on resisting for so long now come clean on the spec,as Dipsy said thats a six speed gearknob and looks like the lifter for reverse under it which suggests more than a gearknob swap......
scotsman Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Very nice What sort of ball park price did she cost?
thewelsho Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Nice one 150 miles with the SpecG! Are you sure??!?!? My car was similar to yours in power (but as you may recall, mine's had the little bit more oomph! ) and I get 240ish.

LOL!! ...yea I remember JW, the sight of the 340 holding me up (sorry, pulling away ) still haunts me. I think it was because of the pops and bangs to be honest, seem to remember AndyF saying it was so severe on my car because it he'd thrown a fair bit extra fuel through as the SpecG was the test mule for trying to get the pops and bangs on the 2.5. Cheers, Grant
scooby222 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 very very nice spec mate and well done on a 49k classic in dark blue ,mmmmmm and youve a few touches of your own in mind?? eeek!

Yea, nothing major.. certainly nothing power-wise at the moment, couple of small things I want to change like the wheels, maybe roll bars etc.. just plan on enjoying the car at the moment to be honest. Dipsy said: Nice spec .Watch your speed with 5/6 on Jdm 6 speed gearbox Tell me about it... doesn't seem to let up to be honest. Had a run-in with an 04-plate Audi RS6 on the M6 coming home, twice!! ...from 50mph to the other side of the speedo it kept him honest... was only when we were solidly into instant ban territory that he started to slowly slip away from me. Got a smile and a big thumbs up from him after the 2nd run. WRXMANIA said: Nice spec for a "nearly standard" car Yea, its just got a little extra in its locker than standard.. nothing to worry the big boys.. but enough to put a smile on my face when I get the chance to give its legs a stretch in the evening or at weekends. Cheers, Grant
ciaranrb5 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 About time as well Grant. Nice looking motor and spec sheet looks good. Gearbox is meant to be good for at least 500/500 which is handy
