andyyam750 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 my ideas are to put a p1 front end on it and a bigger engine Nice to see another non Turbo car on here!!, check out my pics for an alternative to the P1 Front swap
BalliSTIc Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 my ideas are to put a p1 front end on it and a bigger engine Nice car chief... but DO do your homework! The P1 front end shouldn't be a problem but if you're upping the power (and Insurance...) you'd be better saving up for an STI by the time you upgrade the car sufficiently to handle the extra grunt. That's not to say 1.6's can't shift... as the Tayside Meet recently found out *lol*

ayrforce23 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 Welcome along . thanks scoobies have been my all time favorite cars due to one man colin mcrae
reako Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 yell need the bonnet scoop if ye go for a turbo unless yer thinkin of fitin a fmic. itd prob cost ye a few gees for the engine , driveshafts and shit and then fittin aswell. u could pick up a decent classicfor the same price without the hassle
andyyam750 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Useful link for us non Turbo drivers http://www.imprezasport.net/forums/index.php?app=portal
scooby222 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 hiya mate, nice spoiler and nice motor - 1.6's can shift, ask anyone who saw the fastone in his 'shed'! if you are wanting to go down the bigger engine route then as others have said, buying a turbo and making it look like a sport would be much cheaper in the long run and still give you the sleeper look
marko72 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 You wont go far wrong getting the car lowered, improve the handling and looks good too. Cheers.
braveheart Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Welcome bud , but in all honesty if it was me and i was in your shoes keep the car as it is and sell it on. And buy an STI will save lots of headaches im just talking from experience lol dont let me put you off just trying to save your pennies..
