Hi guys,

I'm a newbie to this forum and require help in a certain field

I am going to look at a "R" plated impreza turbo waggon 84K on clocks all HPI'ed (uk version) in the next few days its wanted for nothing in its life..................

I need to know of any common faults with this model or areas i need to pay special attention too when looking over this car

Spec i have so far on this are is

Uprated Roller Bearing Turbo

Uprated Up-pipe

NGK PFR7B's

Roger Clarke Lightened Pulleys & New Belts

Uprated Walbro Fuel Pump

Ported Headers

STI Strut Brace

Heat Wrapped Pipes

Fettled motor needs stringent servicing so check the book, if in doubt walk away.

thanks for coming to view today neil, this was my car and has been looked after by thwaites developments as i stated to you, i would never sell any one a shed as i would never own one in the 1st place, i took you out in it and the drive on it is perfect even you could not fault it and im sure others wont be able to either.

I DO not care what others say, i KNOW i have spent the money well on the car and everything has been done apart from a few minor cosmetics as you saw in the flesh

its a GOOD and QUICK car for the money no doubt about it!
