New family member and a request

[SergeantScooby]

Hi all

Well its happened at last, I got my hands on a classic 2000 type RA sonic blue. It’s been a while coming and I feel part of the family now. I have wanted an Impreza for many years but insurance and crappy paid jobs put pay to that but now things are looking up and the RA is mine. I thought before, that I would stick with a bog standard WRX but somehow I ended up with the type RA, no complaints there.

I am located in Aberdeen and am going to be relying on all your generous natures for help and information on this car; I want to get to know the car properly inside, outside and under the bonnet in particular.

Couple of things I want to ask straight away, I was wondering if anyone could spare some time to have look over the car, someone with a good knowledge of Subaru and mechanics, who will know what to look out for on a used Scooby. Secondly the dealer has put a generic cd player in there which I want to replace with my own mp3 player but I am concerned about the speakers, sounds to me as if it’s a headphone speakers they have put in the car. I wonder if this is the case with this type that they didn’t bother with decent speakers, they sound really bad and "tinny". I am going to have a look soon so I can change out the head unit, but to save re inventing the wheel if anyone out there in Aberdeen is a dab hand then any information / help muchos appreciated.

 

Thanks all for reading, I will post some pictures as soon as it stops raining, need to get some good ones first.
