col666 Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Picked her up this morning, Impreza STI Type 'R' V5 What a difference to my old wagon, it couldnt be any further removed from it. Fantastic gearbox as long as you like changing gear a lot! Everything is nice and tight and well screwed together, suspension is firm but very comfortable. Doesnt even seem too bad on fuel but i will be taking my time until I get AWD to give it the once over and make sure shes running right. Gave her a wee squirt coming off a roundabout to test out the DCCD back end kicks out SO easily, very controlable though and it stepped back in neatly, unlike the tail of the wagon that used to wave about like an over excited dog! Turns a lot of heads when driving through town. Overall I am very chuffed Got this Pivot thing on the dash, does anybody know what it is!? it tells you current speed in KMH and MPH which is cool but i think it has a few other functions but dont have a manual for it!

2559B Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Very nice mate ........ ....... & it even has a rear window wiper !!! You lucky git !!!!!! needs de-tango'd

michael_taylor Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 wondered how long it would take before you got pics up, col looking nice but photos dont do it justice mate, its mint! should be a lot of fun at knockhill when you get it on there i hope you got that tyre blown up before you got it sideways on the way home catch up with you soon when i get mobile again mike
col666 Posted January 28, 2006 Author Posted January 28, 2006 Cheers Mike, sorry to hear about your motor Got the tyre inflated, 9psi no wonder it felt a bit funny! so much for the car being serviced! Should be great fun round knockers, will need new back tyres pretty quickly though!

michael_taylor Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 << whats up with mikes motor? >> hi kev, cars at AWD awaiting new engine, found out i had a fecked air flow meter while i was doing 140 and max rpm, as a result melted pistons, well thats what AWD reckon caused it. hopefully get her back soon, its in the best place to get fixed, and maybe ill get the engine tweaked when its in bits. mike
